Chapter 3: Pretending
676 Words
Sally Jones was annoyed, looking left and right, tightening her coat and quickening her pace.
Last night, in order to compete for a role in a new drama, she was taken by her agent to have dinner with several powerful figures in the entertainment circle.
Who knew that halfway through the meal, her head started to feel dizzy.
When she woke up, she found herself on the director's bed.
Damn the old guy, he actually played the unspoken rule with her!
But in the entertainment circle, this kind of phenomenon is not uncommon.
In order to get the leading actress of the new drama, she could only swallow her anger!
Sally's heart was fluctuating. Due to being tossed around too much, her feet went weak and she fell to the side.
With a bang, she hit the door of a room on one side.
Sally took a deep breath, quickly stood upright, straightened her clothes and was about to leave.
Click, the door opened.
Alex Luo was standing at the door of the room in a white bathrobe, his deep and sharp eyes shining with a cold light.
Sally's heart gave a sudden jump and she felt strangely guilty.
"Mr. Luo."
These days, her scandal with Alex has been topping the trending search.
The outside world is rumored that she has become Alex's new love.
But only she knows that it was her agent who deliberately released the fake news to attract attention.
Alex has always been cold to her.
But for some reason, he has never clarified these untrue rumors.
"Was it you in my room last night?"
Alex stared closely at Sally, his gaze falling on the mottled marks on the woman's neck, and his black eyes became even deeper.
When the woman left, he had already woken up.
But she left too quickly and he didn't have time to stop her.
At the moment, the corridor was empty and she was the only one there.
Presumably she helped him last night.
Sally was stunned, looking at the man's handsome face, her eyes flickering.
Last night, did Alex sleep with a woman?
But he didn't know who it was?
"Mr. Luo, I..."
"Come in and talk."
Alex thought of the touch of red on the bed and his tone softened a little.
Sally was overjoyed and hurriedly followed in.
"Did you say last night that you entered the wrong room and that's why you appeared in my room?"
Alex sat on the sofa and slightly raised his eyes to glance at Sally.
The memory of last night was a bit chaotic, but he clearly remembered the wonderful moment when the woman blossomed under him.
If she didn't deliberately calculate, then he did owe her something.
"Yes, originally I was going to another room to audition for Director Harvey's drama. I didn't expect to enter the wrong room."
Sally slightly lowered her eyes, hiding the shrewdness in her eyes.
Alex was silent for a moment. "What compensation do you want?"
Sally raised her eyes to look at Alex, moved her lips, "No need, Mr. Luo. We are all adults. I won't take last night to heart."
Alex was the top powerful figure in New York.
If he moved a little, New York would tremble.
There were always beautiful women around him. Sleeping with a woman for free was nothing.
If she said she wanted compensation, it would make him despise her instead.
"You are a popular artist of Starlight Media. Don't worry, I will have the best resources given to you and make you a top star within a year." Alex said.
Sally was elated.
She suppressed the joy in her heart, her tone calm, "Thank you, Mr. Luo."
"Get out."
Alex looked at her calm appearance and appreciated her a little more.
"OK."
Sally tried to control her heartbeat and turned to leave.
"Wait."
Alex suddenly spoke, making Sally's breathing halt.
Turning around, she saw Alex get up and pick up an excellent-quality golden pendant from the floor beside the bed.
"Is this yours?"
