Chapter 237:
In the world of celebrities, it’s common to have a few secrets. Usually, their agencies and PR teams are strong enough to keep these things under wraps. These scandals don’t typically hit the news unless they upset someone.
The night before, Herman had a confrontation with Ellie and Kaiden. Then, overnight, all of Herman’s dirt got aired out, including the mess involving his father’s business.
It was pretty clear who was behind all this.
Ellie remembered Kaiden’s phone call last night, telling someone to get rid of the trash.
It must have been about Herman.
Suddenly, the crew’s attitude toward Ellie shifted. They were extra helpful and polite, avoiding any small talk, probably scared of getting into trouble.
Ellie acted as if nothing was wrong, going about her business as usual. After finishing her tasks, Ellie texted Kaiden, “Did you deal with Herman p>
There was no response from Kaiden.
Ellie needed different makeup for the new secondary lead, so she headed to the dressing room for some accessories.
Just then, the lights cut out.
A few seconds later, in the completely dark room, the door behind her creaked open.
As Ellie turned around, she found herself pinned against the wall by the person who came in.
Ellie instinctively resisted, her elbow connecting with the person’s face. Recognizing the scent of the man, she abruptly stopped.
“Kaiden?” As her eyes adjusted to the dimness, she saw the familiar features of the man before her. Kaiden merely snorted in response.
“You frightened me!” In annoyance, she punched his shoulder. “How did you get in? Aren’t you worried about being caught p>
Kaiden wordlessly drew her close and kissed her, filling the confined space with a growing romantic tension.
“Have you dealt with Herman?” Ellie asked, catching her breath after the kiss.
“Who?” Kaiden’s lips brushed hers again. Her lips were intoxicating.
Ellie was at a loss for words. Kaiden had evidently forgotten about Herman. “The secondary lead in our crew, the one you confronted last night,” she clarified.
Kaiden admitted openly, “Yes, that was me. Any issue with that p>
“Not at all.” Ellie was actually happy about his involvement.
Herman deserved it. That piece of trash had it coming.
“Did you just come here for a reason? Couldn’t you have waited for me to finish work?” she asked.
“I’m off to Tormeto soon,” Kaiden replied.
Ellie paused briefly, then questioned, “So suddenly? Do you have business at your company? There’s no direct flight to Tormeto from here p>
