Melody sighed at the sight of the full glass of alcohol in front of her. She tilted her head back and forced herself to drink it all.
When the alcohol hit her stomach, she immediately felt a wave of nausea. Melody could not control herself and vomited into the trash can.
"Ugh, ack!"
"Are you okay, Melody?" Wendy pretended to be concerned as she sat beside her. She then looked at her disdainfully and said, "Melody, you really don't look well! I've got a room booked at the hotel. Let me take you there to get some rest!"
"Okay..." Melody mumbled in a daze and let herself be supported by Wendy.
Wendy guided Melody up to the 20th floor of the bar. Just as they stepped out of the elevator, her manager's call came in.
As a D-list celebrity, Wendy could not afford to ignore her manager's call.
"Hey, Melody, my manager needs me urgently. Here's the room key. Head on over without me. I'll find you as soon as I'm done."
With a rushed explanation, Wendy handed the hotel room key to Melody and quickly made her way out.
"Ugh. Why is it so hot?" Melody mumbled as she leaned against the wall, struggling to stand. She staggered forward as her vision gradually became blurry.
She struggled to read the room number on the key card. "Two… Two, zero, zero, six…"
She walked toward Room 2006 with her last bit of consciousness. To her irritation, the door would not open even after she repeatedly swiped the keycard.
"What's up with this stupid door?" Melody muttered and gave it a few kicks. Surprisingly, the door swung open.
"You brought this upon yourself. Don't regret it."
"Mmph!" Melody could not react in time as her words were silenced by his kiss.
As for what happened next, Melody could not process it in time. All she felt was herself lying on a soft bed, completely drained of energy.
…
Wendy returned after her call but could not find Melody. Assuming she had entered Room 2009 with the key card, she left with a triumphant smile.
In fact, Wendy tricked Melody into coming here just to please William Deloit. That way, she would not have to worry about losing the lead role in the upcoming popular television series.
