Perfect Chapter 38 Summary

Kendra

  • Patrick's threatening inpatient treatment if Kendra doesn't start eating—in fact, he wants to take her straight to Aspen Springs.
  • Kendra's mom talks him out of it and makes her promise to eat at least one thousand calories a day.
  • Kendra manages to eat two hundred and eighty-five calories of dinner.
  • She plans to work out more and ask Sean about steroids again. She can't do it at the moment, though, since Xavier's on his way to pick her up for an appointment.
  • His instructions? "Dress sexy as hell." Because that's totally how you get cast as a model for teen clothing.
  • He picks her up, and she explains what happened (or didn't happen) with the nose job.
  • He tells her she looks perfect just the way she is, and if she goes to treatment, they'll just make her fat. (What a scuzzball, right? Right.)
  • They go to the Atlantis, a fancy hotel/casino, where the audition is being held, and as they park, Xavier tells her to flirt with the casting director.
  • And by "flirt," he means, "sleep with him if necessary."
  • Kendra's uncomfortable, but she wants the job. She meets the casting director, Gilles, who immediately starts touching her.
  • She feels nauseated, but she lets him.
