… 

After sending out her resume, Samantha received multiple emails and calls for an interview.

With an iPad in her hand, she leaned against the sofa and scrolled through the job offers, screening them one by one. Finally, she found a job that caught her eyes.

It was a film studio looking for actors for short plays. They mentioned that after seeing her photos, they felt that her appearance was really suitable with their criteria. Hence, they sincerely invited her to participate in their play, even offering an excellent salary.

Samantha majored in broadcasting, and she dabbled in the entertainment industry before. Although she was not an actress, she still had experience being in front of the camera, was on a few prints, and even had guest appearances in TV series before.

Although it was not a job that she wanted, she knew that many short series had been developed due to the rise and popularity of short videos. Furthermore, many people were die-hard fans of the shows.

Hence, Samantha would not need to work for long hours, and she would still get great pay.

Before she could find the job of her dream, she could take such a part-time job first. 

After Samantha clarified everything, she called the number provided in the email and made an appointment for an interview.

The following day.

Samantha went out after having lunch with Nancy.

She took a taxi and went straight to the agreed building, and the receptionist led her to a meeting room. Samantha waited for about a minute before a gentleman walked in.

Then, the man introduced himself with a smile, “You’re Miss Larsson, right? I’m Nate Abrams, the producer and director of this short video.

Samantha stood and replied with a faint smile, “Nice to meet you, Mr. Abrams. I’m Samantha.”

The two politely shook hands and sat.

Nate did not say other things and directly went straight into the content of the shoot, working hours, and the salary she would be getting.

Samantha listened silently. The content was for a regular idol drama, and the production will take about a week. Furthermore, the salary offered was almost double what she expected.

“Ms. Larrson, that’s about it. If there’s no other problem, we can sign the contract now.”

Samantha looked at Nate and asked, “Mr. Abrams, there’s nothing wrong with what you said, and the offers are great, but…don’t you want to see my acting skill? What if I’m not good?”

Hearing that, Nate laughed. He sized Samantha up and down, sighing, “Ms. Larsson, you’re too humble. You can earn a living just by your beautiful face and charming figure.”

“Thank you for the compliment, Mr. Abrams.” Samantha faked a smile, acting as if she was thrilled from his praise, and was suddenly on cloud nine. “Then, there’s nothing else for me to add on my side. Mr. Abrams, let’s sign the contract!”

There was a hint of pride flashed across Nate’s eyes, and he answered, “Alright. I’ll ask someone to bring the contracts over.”

Samantha and Nate signed on the contract and its duplicate. After stamping the official seal, the agreement was made valid! 

Then, Nate asked his assistant to keep the documents, and he told Samantha, “Ms. Larsson, our schedule for this project is rather tight, so we have to start shooting now. Let’s go to the studio now.”

Samantha nodded without hesitation. “Sure. Let’s go.”

The studio was not in the same building. Instead, Nate drove Samantha to a remote shack on the outskirts.

When she walked in, she saw cameras being set up in all directions. There were also a few staff, and all of them were brawny.

Next, Samantha quickly gleaned around the room.

The door slowly shut, and Samantha seemed to hear the door being locked. After that, Nate looked at Samantha, ordering her, “Ms. Larsson, go ahead and strip. We’re starting our shoot!”

Samantha frowned, asking puzzledly, “Strip? Aren’t we shooting a normal drama? The script that you showed me just now didn’t mention anything about requiring me to be naked!”

As soon as she said that, every man present burst into laughter. It was as if they were mocking her for being so naive.

Nate even removed his gentleman facade, staring at Samantha’s beautiful face with a lustful gaze. “Ms. Larsson, are you really that innocent? I gave such extravagant remuneration, so of course, I want something worth the value!”

“The script just now didn’t mention anything about stripping, but now it does. So, stop dawdling and remove your clothes for shooting. Otherwise… I’ll help you!”

Hearing that, Samantha finally understood what was going on, and she appeared panicked. She grabbed her collars and took two steps back, vigilantly shouting, “You lied to me! You never wanted to shoot a drama, but such a film! I… I don’t want to be involved in this film. I quit!”

Soon, Nate inched closer to her. “We’ve signed the agreement. Do you think you can quit as you like? It doesn’t matter if you want to shoot the film, because we will definitely make you!”

As if he was running out of patience, his gaze turned extremely fierce. “I’m going to ask you one last time. Are you going to cooperate with us, or do you want me to add another scene… a r*pe scene?”

Samantha seemed to be hesitating, and she once again swept her gaze across the crowd. Finally, as she realized that she could not escape them, her beautiful eyes became teary, and she compromised. “Mr. Abrams, I’ll… I’ll do it.”

Finally, Nate laughed. “That’s right! Don’t worry. We’ll definitely make you look beautiful and make you the new generation’s best adult performer!”

Samantha took two deep breaths. Then, as if she was risking it all, she raised her hands and slowly unbuttoned her shirt.

…

Sheena was accompanying Penelope for a coffee at the mall. Suddenly, her phone rang, and she took a look at it.

There were photos and videos.

There were images of Samantha naked, as well as pictures of her lying with other naked men. Furthermore, Sheena could see a man pressing onto Samantha, doing unspeakable acts in the videos.

The scenes were extremely outrageous.

Sheena carefully looked at the pictures and videos. Even though they were blurry and did not show Samantha’s entire face, anyone could tell it was her!

Then, Sheena smiled and showed Penelope her phone. “Penny, it’s done!”

Penelope just simply took two glances and pushed away Sheena’s phone in contempt. “Samantha is really disgusting. For the sake of money, she’s willing to do such a thing! I’d like to see if she still dares to seduce Timmy!”

Thinking about how Timothy would be hers again soon, Penelope was instantly elated. After that, she said to Sheena, “You did great this time. Didn’t you have your eyes on the latest bag from Gucci? I’ll get it to you!”

Sheena’s eyes lit up in joy. “Thank you, Penny.”

Penelope looked at Shenna somewhat contemptuously. What a greedy money-grubber! Nonetheless, she still continued, “Don’t disappoint me with the following arrangements!”

“Penny, just wait and see. From now onward, Samantha will fall into an endless hell!”

After she spoke that, Sheena took her phone and called her close friend in the media..
