the person we're looking for!

Wether you're returning

to the workforce...

Or just starying out...

Unhappy with your present job...

Or just looking for

a change of pace...

Vesta Rose is the place for you!

Because at Vesta Rose...

We believe...

People are more

than just their jobs!

Come bloom with us!

Some things never change.

Bob was certainly

moving up in the world...

But like any man

who runs a growing business...

He always had an eye up for

qualified personnel.

Well, Bob...

Feast your eyes on this!

Hi! I'm looking for

a personal assistant/bookkeeper...

Someone with a good head

on their shoulders...

Someone who's a working knowledge

of profit and loss statements...

Someone who knows

her way around a computer.

I'm not opposed

to working with someone...

Extremely attractive.

What do you prefer,

a man or a woman?

A man...

A woman, of course!

Okie dokie...

If you just give me your name and

the name of your company...

Yeah! Robert Patchett,

the Patchett Organization.

Yes, thank you!

In order to run

a successful agency...

It's important to match

the right employer...

With the right employee.

Men go crazy

when I tell them my name.

It's... Olivia Honey.

They think it's so cute!

But it is, isn't it?

As you can see

from my resume...

I'm an expert bookkeeper

and data processor...

And my goal...

My goal is to work for a

powerful, successful man...

Who makes lots of money...

And marry him!

Olivia was too good to be true.

She'd give Mary Fisher

a taste of her own medicin!

Hello, there!

Hello!

I'm Olivia...

The agency sent me over to interview

for the bookkeeping position?

You're hired!

Oh oh, Paula!

- Darling!

- Mary...

How are you?

I'm sorry I'm late!

I was stuck in the traffic.

- It's crazy time out there.

- Relax!

The usual please, Henri.

What?

- What's wrong?

- In your hair!

A gummy bear!

So!

Tell me... how much you love

my new novel...

And how much money

we're going to make!

I don't know

what to say, Mary.

We extended

deadline after deadline...

Waiting patiently

for yor manuscript.

Then you give us something called

"Love In The Rinse Cycle"?

You mean you don't love it?

Mary, the love scenes

are wanderful...

But your heroine

has two children...

And has a husband

named... Bob!

- I don't understand at all!

- Darling!

What is this all chapter

on laundry?

It's a metaphor, Paula.

A what?

A metaphor!

Women always get stuck

with the laundry!

My readers will identify.

Mary, in the romance business...

You're only as good

as your last novel.

Fans are fickle!

Disappoint them once

and they will feel betrayed.

You will lose them!

Don't lecture me

about my readers!

Are you going

to publish it, or not?

Not as is!

Fine!

- You see, Mary, we're only doing this...

- Fine!

- For your own...

- Fine!

I'm exercising my option...

I'm going to take it to

another publisher, Paula.

Mary...

Why don't you take a day

to think about this?

You look tired!

Go get a facial!

Is there something wrong?

How...

Dare you...

To patronize me?

And by the way...

I think that...

Bob...

Is a beautiful name!

Taxi!

Taxi!

ROMANCE QUEEN UNSAVOURY SECRETS

- MOM TELLS ALL -

Please, Please, Taxi!

DETHRONING:

THE QUEEN OF ROMANCE

HOW TO HAVE A BABY

WHEN YOU WANT TO

Mary Fisher.

Mary Fisher lives in a palace

by the sea.

But her life is no longer

a fairy tale.

Now that Prince Charming

works late every night.

Bob?

Bob...

This is...

Bob, are you there?

Can't you pick up?

Honey, please, please, please,

pick up!

Bob?

Bob?

Is that you, just...?

Darling?

I was calling, and calling,

and calling...

Where were you?

Sorry, honey...

That freaking Jag

blew a fan belt on the way in...

Oh, I'm so pissed!

You know

what I'm thinking?

I'm thinking...

That ride from the city

is so long...

It might be safer if I spent...

A few nights...

In the office.

What do you think?

I think that you

should take a look at this!

Jesus Christ!

We're going to sue

the bastards!

Hold on, Mary, who are

you going to sue?

Your mother?

No.

I'll wring her

scaly little neck.

Okay, okay,

we'll just look at the bright side...

Even bad publicity

is good publicity.

We're going to need

all the help we can get...

When "Love In The Rinse Cycle"

comes out.

What...

May I ask...

Do you mean by that?

I read the manuscript,

frankly Mary, I'm worried.

Why?

Why?

Why is everyone turning

against me now?

First Paula refuses

to publish it!

Now you tell me

you hate it!

I don't hate it...

I just don't know why you

strayed from the formula!

Because I...

If you don't know it, Bob...

Am an artist!

And ever since

you came to my house...

With the children

my life has changed...

And I must reflect that

in my... writing.

Mary...

Let's, let's not exaggerate

the significance of you writing, okay...

We're not talking about art here.

We're talking about a product!

- A product?!

- Yeah!

When did I mention you know

about literature, art, or creativity?

After all you are merely...

An accountant!

Yes, but accounting

can be very creative!

Yeah, that's what our friends

are telling me!

Yeah!

If I didn't keep my eye

on the bottom line...

You and all your artist friends

wouldn't have a pot to piss in!

You are so vulgar!

So gross!

How dare you insult my...

Beautiful friends?

Because that

is the real world, Mary...

So wake up

and smell the cappuccino!

No!

- No!

- Goodnight!

Where are you going, darling?

No! No!

No, no, no, no!

Sad Mary Fisher!

She's learning that men

who burn so hot for a mistress...

Cool out fast when the mistress

starts acting like a wife.

Oh, Bob!

Oh, darling!

Aw, yes!

Oh, yes!

I love you!

I think you really...

Yes, I do!

Oh, God!

He is such

an incredible lover!

I mean, it's more

than just sex!

You have no idea

how nice he is!

Sounds like love.

I don't know!

Is he married?

So he was, but...

She ran off and left him

with the kids!

I mean,

can you imagine it?

Sounds a bit like she was

a real nut, huh?

Oh, that must have been

tough on him!

Yeah!

He lives with someone now,

but that's on the rocks!

You know, it's just for showing you

how he felt about me.

What have you told him?

This what's his name?

Bobby.

Have you told Bobby

how you feel?

Oh, I can't!

I mean, it's not like that.

He's so...

I don't know...

Important!

But Olivia, so are you!

You should tell him

how you feel!

Do you really think so?

Why, you don't want him

to think that you do...

This sort of things

all the time!

No!

But, I mean,

I can't come right out and say...

'I love you, Bobby.'

I mean...

What if I scare him off

or something?

Oh, now you

listen to me, Olivia!

How could tell your man

that you love him...

Possibly scare him off?

Oh, Bobby!

Catch me if you can!

Wait, where are you going?

Come here!

Come on,

come on up on the desk!

Up on the desk.

I have an idea!

We go for a ride!

It's picture time!
