Chapter 2

Nora had safely left the hotel premises; her phone rang, and she saw it was her manager.

"Hello, Nora, where are you now?" she asked.

"I am on my way home," she answered.

"On your way home? You didn't meet the media?"

"What media?" Nora asked.

"Oh sorry, I didn't know what I was saying. Anyway, can you come to the company in ten minutes?" The manager asked.

"No," she answered before disconnecting the call. She is already sure that her manager knew what happened last night. They must have set her up to sleep with the investor.

So this is what the entertainment industry is like; she cried in her heart. After all, she only recently joined the entertainment industry, and the movie can be considered as the very first movie she is going to participate in.

A few minutes later, she was sitting with her best friend Anna inside her bedroom.

"I had a one-night stand," Nora said.

"Woah, I have actually done the deed. Who is the guy? Is he a hunk?" Anna asked anxiously.

"The guy is very handsome indeed," she answered.

"But what happened? How did you end up in a one-night stand? I thought you went to have dinner with your director. Wait, did they set you up?" Anna asked, looking alarmed.

"Seems like," she answered"What do you mean by 'seems like'? Can you elaborate?" Anna seemed confused now.

"Let's say I didn't end up with whom I was supposed to. That's a mistake on their part, though. But you wouldn't believe the identity of the guy I slept with," she smiled.

"Oh, tell me," Nora smiled. She knew that Anna couldn't wait to hear her.

"See for yourself." She handed her the business card.

"Oh my God," Anna shouted in shock. "Nora, just one night that I wasn't with you, and you had already hooked up with a multi-billionaire. From today onwards, you must be my master."

"Master, teach your servant." Anna made a posture as if to kneel down.

"Cut it off," just as they were talking, someone knocked at the door. She frowned but still opened it and saw it was some delivery man.

They carried lots of items with them and a bouquet of flowers. "You guys came to the wrong place, please. I didn't order anything," she said to the delivery men.

"But this is the address we were given. You are Miss Nora, right?" The delivery man asked. She nodded slowly. "Then that means we didn't come to the wrong place. These packages are for you." The man insisted.

She nodded and allowed the man to bring it in while trying to figure out who could have sent all this. After signing for the package, the men left.

Anna was so excited and kept on opening the packages while shrieking. "Oh my Nora, tell me, which of your admirers sent these? This is the latest designer gown from Louis Vuitton, and these are all from top brands."

Nora ignored her and walked towards the flower bouquet. It was Rose and Jasmine. She saw a letter attached to it.

"In the echoes of our brief encounter, I found myself compelled to send these small gifts. May they serve as a reminder of a night marked by a certain dominance—a fleeting dance in the realm of desire."

After reading the letter, she already knew who sent it. "It's the man from last night," she said. Rose came closer.

"How do you know?"

She handed her the letter. After reading the letter, Anna nodded excitedly. "Yes, it's him. Woah, he is so romantic and domineering."

"That bastard," Nora cursed. Her phone rang; it was an unknown number. She picked it.

"Do you like the gifts?" A domineering voice came from the other side of the phone.

"Thanks, but please, you don't have to send any more of these. Whatever we had last time is in the past, and we should get over it," she said.

"What nonsense are you talking about? Listen, you are my woman now, and I will send you gifts and take care of you because that's my responsibility," he growled.

"I am not your woman, William. Please don't call me that again. Just leave me alone and go your own way." She cut the call.

"Wow, the billionaire has fallen for you, girl. That's really great, you know. You can be a rich young lady if you want," Anna said excitedly.

"Get lost," Nora shouted at her.

"But Nora, you should be careful how you handle this. You know these billionaires aren't easy to handle."

"I know."

"What happened last night, Director Noah? Why is it that I haven't heard any news from the media?" The manager said hurriedly.

The main director was silent for a while before speaking. "We made a huge mistake."

"What mistake?" Manager Ralph looked flustered.

"She was brought here to the wrong room," he answered. Manager Ralph was alarmed. "How could you have made such a mistake?"

"I don't know, but what bothers me most is that another woman was able to bypass the media, and I wasn't able to obtain the identity of the man she spent the night with." His voice was solemn.

"Do you think we are found out?" the manager said.

"What if we are found out? She is just a small-time celebrity who only recently became known because of her song 'I Am a Beauty' and also her very beautiful looks.

We are even doing her a favor by allowing her to feature in the movie; she should be grateful. So even if she finds out, she can only pretend like nothing happens," he replied coldly.

The manager nodded; the director is known to be cruel and ruthless. The entertainment industry is like that anyway.

"And the investor?" He asked.

"I don't know how we are going to handle that one. He had called me and had been shouting and screaming, complaining about how he waited all night and even drank lots of sex boosters for nothing.

He wants us to refund the money he gave us."

"So what do we do now? Do we refund it?" The manager asked.

"Are you a retard? Of course not, we just need to try again. This time there should be no mistakes."
