Ever since she graduated and entered the entertainment circle, Elva knew that it was a nasty industry.
If Elva wanted to be an undefiled girl here, she could only live a life like Hazel who had no fixed abode and laid low in the crew.
It was not suitable for a conservative and innocent woman to work in the entertainment circle, especially when girls didn’t have a strong background and backer.
As for the photos, Elva thought she was unlucky. She was also eager for quick success, so she threw herself into the arms of an obscene bald man.
For the role, she could only bite the bullet.
“What?”
The music in the bar suddenly became louder. Hazel wanted to get closer to Elva, but as soon as Hazel stood up, she was suddenly knocked down.
“Hazel, are you alright?”
Hazel’s head hit the bar counter and quickly swelled up before Elva could catch her.
The most important thing for an actress was her face. There would be a play tomorrow, so Hazel had to cover it with heavy makeup, or she would be scolded severely.
“Bruce!”
The scene suddenly became even noisier. Not far, there were already several young and fashionable women with hot figures.
Bruce?
Hazel and Elva looked at each other. Why was Bruce here?
On the ceiling, colorful lights were shining, and huge rotating crystal balls were turning.
The person who was surrounded by women stood up. His cheeks shone with a mysterious blue light. His handsome and tall figure was particularly eye-catching in the crowd.
The man nodded to the people around him and smiled gently. Then he politely refused the invitation and headed straight to Hazel.
“What a coincidence. You guys are here too. Why don’t we go somewhere else to chat?”
It was not a big deal to be recognized in the bar. But those covetous women really affected them to chat.
The three of them were also classmates.
Bruce had a gentle character and had long been given the titles of “Prince” and “Metrosexual man”.
Before he graduated, many directors had their eyes on him. It could be said that he was now a slightly famous idol star.
“Alright.”
Hazel was a little nervous. In private, she was a particularly muddle-headed person. She often embarrassed herself. Every time she made a fool of herself, Bruce would see it.
Elva was much more relaxed. In the face of Prince Charming, she felt calm.
Elva didn’t deserve him for what she had done before.
“Alright, let’s go through the back door. I’ll drive you to a good place.”
The corners of Bruce’s mouth curled up slightly. Even in the chaotic bar, his smile still made them so happy and comfortable.
Hazel rubbed her forehead and quickly followed behind Bruce. Looking at his tall figure, Hazel found her heart was beating fast.
Bruce’s background was a little mysterious. He had a good relationship with everyone, but there was no one particularly close to him.
During his four years in college, he had no girlfriend, but he had never been short of beautiful girls.
The bar street was located in the old city center. The back door of the Twilight Bar was just next to a narrow and dark alley.
Bruce put his hands in his pockets and leisurely led the way. From time to time, he would turn his head to whisper to Hazel and Elva.
The night wind blew gently, and the air was mixed with the fragrance of flowers. Looking at the tall and straight back in front of him, Hazel could not help but be somewhat addicted.
“There are not many people here. Every time I have fun, I come out here.”
Bruce explained. After passing through the alley, there was an abandoned open space of a building. For some reason, the land had not been developed.
“You are so popular now. If the paparazzi took photos of you and girls at night, they will make a fuss.”
Hazel deliberately let herself be more natural.
Bruce didn’t show an air of superiority. On the contrary, he was quite polite to people.
In four years in college, Hazel had never seen Bruce angry.
There were usually only two types of people like this, either with a good temper to the extreme or good at disguising.
Hazel thought Bruce should be the latter. He was smiling at you right beside you, but it made you feel a little strange.
Hazel did not dare to profess her love for Bruce. Perhaps all the girls in the Film Academy who adored Bruce had the same thoughts.
“Don’t take those paparazzi’s words seriously.”
Bruce stopped with a calm expression.
They two looked at each other from a close distance. Hazel was almost sucked into his deep eyes. His eyes were filled with tenderness, but it was fleeting. She rubbed her eyes, thinking that she had seen it wrongly.
“Well, you can’t just pretend that I don’t exist!”
Elva stood between the two and held Hazel’s arm. Hazel had drunk a lot of whiskeys just now, and now she must be very drunk.
Hazel’s cheeks were blazing red and her eyes were blurred. She couldn’t help asking some gossip questions.
“Bruce, have you met the casting couch?”
As soon as Hazel finished speaking, Elva staggered and almost fell. She rubbed her aching forehead with her hands and thought to herself that this day had finally come.
Hazel was almost a perfect person with no shortcomings, but after drinking, her temperament changed greatly. She could gossip and say a few dirty jokes that she usually read online.
In front of Prince Charming, Elva only hoped that Bruce wouldn’t find that!
“You are so handsome, and those old women … or men?”
The topic was getting more and more shocking. Hazel was completely unaware of it. It was as if she had discovered a new continent. Her eyes were sparkling.
Bruce was speechless. A bitter smile flashed across his face. What was this?
Men? Did he have sex with men?
“Bruce, Hazel was joking with you!”
Elva wiped her forehead with her hand. The topic of the casting couch was taboo in the entertainment industry.
Moreover, Bruce was not familiar with them. If they asked him so directly, he would instantly get embarrassed.
“What should we do in the face of the casting couch?”
Hazel muttered to herself. Rather than asking Bruce, it was better to ask her own heart.
She could not sell her body and soul for a role.
Because Hazel was young, she still had a way out, but since she entered this circle, could she really be chaste forever? She did not know how long she could last.
It was not easy to live in City J. The rent was expensive, the traffic was expensive, and the actress could not always wear the same set of clothes. They had to put on makeup and dress up.
Hazel had no money and could only barely maintain her own life. However, she also had a younger brother who was studying at university. Her family was also not rich.
“No one can force you as long as you don’t want to.”
After a long period of silence, Bruce suddenly replied.
Bruce’s voice was exceptionally clear, carrying a bit of decisiveness.
No one could force you as long as you didn’t want to
It seemed that it was a promise to Hazel.
For a moment, everyone, including Elva, was stunned on the spot.
