He picked up the phone beside his pillow and slid the screen to unlock it. Sure enough, Ena's message came on time.
"I'm going to attend an interview tomorrow. I heard that you're going to shoot a movie in another city by that time. Take care always. Good night, Victor!"
There was even a cute emoji at the end of the message.
After reading the message, he put his phone back to where it was.
Ena texted him every night without fail, but he never replied. He was afraid that if he texted back, he would give her hope.
She was a good girl. Perhaps because of his unbearable past or because he still had not forgotten Mary that he always avoided Ena.
The next day in the Studio 1 of ZM TV.
"Hello, everyone! Thank you for watching our program "Stories of Celebrities". I'm Helena, the hostess for today." The hostess's cheerful voice echoed in the whole studio. "I'm sure you've all been waiting for our tonight's guest. But don't you worry because here she comes! Everyone, let's give a round of applause for Ena Su! Welcome, Ena!"
Sitting on the sofa opposite the host, Ena was wearing a cute dress with floral print and an endearing smile on her face. After the audience's round of applause, she said gracefully and politely, "Thank you."
"Before we begin, let's introduce Ena first," the hostess started. "Ena is twenty-three years old. She instantly became famous when she starred in the movie 'Be Together', making her the most popular actress today. Just recently, she completed another TV series. Would you like to tell our audience more details?"
"Of course! I hope everyone would pay attention to it," Ena replied with a smile. "It's a campus drama called 'Love in Primrose'. It will be aired next Monday. I hope you all like it."
"Wow! Ena, are you still going to play yourself in this drama series?" the hostess asked. "I heard that you just
on! Besides, you know me well. I won't rest assured if it were someone else!"
"Wow! That sounds great. I thought you had already forgotten me!" Jorge laughed while staring at Victor.
"How could I forget Jorge, the big agent who 'brought me up'?" Victor put his arm around Jorge's shoulder intimately and added, "Golden Agent, would you like to think about it?"
"Of course. Now that you've become so much richer," Jorge said jokingly and added, "But you know, I have to raise my share if I were to agree."
"Of course!"
"Ha ha!" Jorge burst into laughter. "Then you go ahead with your work. I'll go back and think about it."
"Okay. See you around."
Victor smiled in response. As soon as he turned around, he saw Elliana Han, the female leading role of the movie.
"Done with your shooting?" asked Victor casually.
"Yeah," answered Elliana with raised eyebrows. She was a hot and charming woman. Anyone who looked at her would agree that she was indeed voluptuous. The role suited her very well, so she was doing the job smoothly.
"Okay." Victor nodded and was about to go back to his seat, but was stopped by Elliana.
"What's wrong?" Victor asked with furrowed eyebrows.
With a seductive smile at the corners of her mouth, Elliana whispered in Victor's ear, "Do you have any plans for tonight?"
"Why? Do you have a better arrangement?" answered Victor with an evil and attractive smile.
"3605. In my room."
"Ha ha!" Victor chuckled. He put his palm on her waist and whispered back to her, "Thank you for your invitation, but I'm so tired today. I'm sorry." Then, he let go of her and walked forward without looking back.
Not far away, a reporter who came after hearing the news that Victor was filming there, happened to see the scene. He took several photos consequently, which showed Victor and Elliana were very close to each other.
