C2 America's Sweetheart

Slam!

I screamed out in surprise when the door suddenly burst open.

I was holding my chest in shock.

It was my manager who just opened the door. How did she find me here?

If I remember, I didn't tell anyone where I was even Abigail, my assistant, well except for Lyndsey.

Tracy is my very efficient manager who handles everything; from my schedule, taping and endorsement. She works as my manager after I end my contract with Mr. Morgan, the previous talent agency where I start my career.

"So, you were here, while I was looking at you. Do you know how hard for me to look for you, when you suddenly disappear without telling me? We only have two days left and your movie will start to film. Can you at least notify me next time? I hate having to explain where you are every single time!" She said while lighting a cigarette she took from her clutch bag.

"Sorry. I just want to unwind for a while, I still do not forget that I have shooting and endorsement projects to do," I answered.

"I don't know what happen to you these past few days..." She said while smoking.

I just keep silent. While Tracy continues to speak.

"Now tell me, not as your manager but as your friend. What's your reason for not coming to the yearly Met gala ball? Everyone was expecting you to be there, of course, you were a known Hollywood Star."

"...how am I supposed to be there, when that was the day I caught my boyfriend cheating on me." I wanted to say to Tracy. But I choose not to.

I can't drag Lindsey that time since she was also invited to the "Met Gala Ball" so I drink alone.

I continue to play with the flowers I was holding. Then suddenly I remember the face of the man who lent me his suit. He seems already know me for a long time and I feel it, still, I can't figure out who he is.

Tracy snatched the flower I was playing with and throw them near the trash can she saw.

I rolled my eyes and go back to lay down on the bed. I cover myself in a blanket and turn my back on her.

I heard her sigh and sit beside me. "Why are you not answering my calls, then?"

"I'm sorry. I drop my phone in the water, I just bought a new phone yesterday, " I lied to her, the truth is, I turn off my phone because I don't want to answer any calls that coming from Wade and my parents.

Wade wants to get back our relationship together that's why he keeps calling me non-stop. He still dares to come to my unit and ask my forgiveness after what he did.

What a jackass bastard!

If ever he shows his face to me again, I will punch his face hard.

And one more reason, my parents kept asking me when I was going to meet my fiancé. To extent that they plan to schedule my wedding without me.

That's why I left and took a short vacation without informing my manager.

I stood up and call for the food delivery at the hotel where I was staying. I didn't bother to hide my body that I was only wearing beige, silk nighties when I walk on the veranda to smell some fresh air, where I can see the vast and beautiful ocean of Oahu, Waikiki. A famous tourist beach in Hawaii.

I winked at the handsome man who suddenly looked in my direction. He was standing next to my hotel suite. I saw the admiration in his stares before he realizes who I am.

"E-Eden Williams?" He seemed could hardly believe to see me.

I was stunned for a moment when he took a picture of me.

I went back to my bed before someone noticed where I was. Tracy was still there and was now busy talking over the phone, but after that, she was left as well.

I have been in the showbiz since I was seventeen, I began my career as a theater actress when someone discovers my acting and offered me a contract, it was a known talent agency that saw my potential at the school theater where I performed. After I signed a contract with him I did a lot of auditions and commercial appearances before I get where I am now.

Everyone knows how I care about my reputation and how I maintain my good image. The reason I asked Wade to keep our relationship a secret, is not for my career.

I still need the courage to speak my parents that there is someone I like and I don't want to marry the man they choose for me.

I came from a well-known and wealthy family before I became an actress and receive the title of America's Sweetheart. My paternal great grandfather was founded several hotels and restaurants while my father Clark Williams is the CEO/President of the biggest mining company and my mother Abegail De Silva came from a rich family that owns a bank in Brazil. So, Arrange Marriage is not new to my family. Since my parent was also same to me and even my relatives.

I took my phone and delete a lot of miscalled coming from Wade and block his number. I ignored some missed calls and messages coming from my mother.

I open my social media account and saw some of my fans comment on every picture I post. It's been a while since I open my account. But one thing that captures my eyes was the news and articles about Lyndsey.

She was my close friend in showbiz. A famous runaway model before she becomes an actress. Base on the article and picture. She was with the CEO of the jewelry brand and someone took a picture of them inside the hotel. Lyndsey even asks for an explanation about the said photo. But she remained silent and deactivated all of her social media accounts.

I hope it was not true. I know Lyndsey can't do this to my cousin who is her boyfriend.
