But Heather was at heart no more a party girl than she was singer. Quietly determined, she went to keep an important interview as a secretary to Mr. Harlan Wycliff at the magnificent offices of World Investment Corporation.

Wycliff's own office was breathtaking. Its occupant was in his early 30s, handsome and very, very sure of himself. Harlan Wycliff was shaving at the moment Heather entered for her interview. He did not really glance at her. He spouted off a long memo to Heather which she impeccably transcribed. He hired her on the spot, but Heather was not impressed with his conceit at all. He was in love with himself.
Back home Heather complained to her mother about her new bosses in-human qualities. Meanwhile, her mother was contemplating mortgaging the house to raise the 5,000 dollars necessary to finance a really smash act for Heather--complete with arrangements, costumes, special material, the works. Heather was upset about this and tried to talk her mother out of her plans.


Meanwhile, the three men in Heather's life continued to pursue her. Hank took her to his favorite coffee house, The Method, a way-out spot for long hair types. Heather seemed somewhat bored. Dick would constantly give her invitations to his house next door, which Heather would decline.
One night, Heather came home from work to find her mother battling clogged plumbing. Her mother told her she took the loan on the house. Heather was upset, but knew her mother had a big soft heart and would do anything to help her child be successful in show business.
