Hollywood Zenith

Liliana was in a good mood today. Her company recommended her to be a hostess for this banquet. She was paid $500 for five hours which was a lot by her standards.

As a person with a 'questionable' profession, she had to plan her every move just to pay back her debts. LA was a cruel place for people with ambitions, it first lures you in with sweet talks, and the next thing you know, you are struggling to put food on the table.

Being a beautiful woman in such an environment was never easy; the higher one wanted to climb, the more strongly people would pull you down.

Her family circumstances were also 'special'. So, there needed to be more support from them.

Moreover, the organizers also promised that the food inside could be distributed among the staff after the banquet.

Before the banquet started, Liliana deliberately visited the kitchen area; the foods were rare as treasures, usually only seen in the movies, and she did not expect to one day enjoy it without worry.

The guest list also opened up her eyes. The usual Hollywood superstars were waiting in advance, and there were also some wealthy people she had only seen in the newspapers.

The formal banquet was about to begin, and most of the guests had arrived, but suddenly the elevator door opened again.

Three people walked out of it; the man appeared to be in his 30s looked handsome with a clean look, and the woman who was holding his arm was even more exceptional, a true beauty sporting a black evening gown with an open back that complimented her perfect figure. One could tell she was mindful of her body.

Actually, Liliana was a big gym freak. Unlike other girls who resented and looked for a quick fix, she enjoyed the process. This was also one reason she was famous in her 'industry'.

Upon closer inspection, she noticed the diamond necklace on the woman's neck, which was shining brightly. It was so dazzling that she couldn't open her eyes.

"God, such a big diamond, how much carat would that be!" It was her first time seeing something like that.

ραпdα nᴏνɐ| сom She always considered jewellery to be a hassle. As a person with three two big brothers, she had always been quite boyish. But seeing this piece helped her realize why other women went crazy for these things.

Laura felt amused seeing her reaction. She, who was the adoration of countless individuals, had a polished discerning eye. She felt no jealousy from Liliana's gaze.

But when Liliana saw Samuel, her whole body was struck by lightning. She froze on the spot.

" Fuck! I have never seen such a handsome man before. His appearance even rivals my crush!" She thought.

Although he appeared to be the same age as her crush, his white hair looked more immaculate. Samuel looked more charming in this tuxedo with a personable and intoxicating temperament. She could also tell he had a fantastic body by looking at his tight-fit attire.

When the three passed by Liliana, she was still looking silly and forgot to greet them.

She hastily woke up from her stupor and quickly saluted, "Welcome, you look perfect today!"

She blurted out something unnecessary.

" Wake up, you silly girl, you are a disgrace to Samatics!" She said inwardly.

" My, my, thank you, but were you talking about my son or me?" Laura chuckled.

" Um-, I-" Liliana was lost for words.

Samuel, who was looking around, also noticed the western beauty flushing with her head down. He wanted to greet her, but his mother interjected first.

" Oh, this is a shame. If the banquet host had found out that I was so rude, she would definitely have faced some consequences. My money! My five hundred dollars!"

Anna was annoyed with herself, but a gentle male voice interrupted her train of thought. "Thank you."please visit

By the time Liliana looked up again, the three had already walked through the banquet hall door.

"Even his voice was so nice and charming. Omg, what am I thinking again?"

Anna felt lucky; they didn't look like people who would complain about her earlier indiscretion. She also looked at her colleagues; their eyes were obsessively fixed on the young man's body. Like a pack of hungry wolves looking at marbled meat!

"Liliana, don't think about it; you are from two different worlds. You should not live in delusions!" Liliana kept reminding herself.

What she didn't know was that this encounter was a beginning of a much bigger ploy. The next time they would meet would be under completely different circumstances.

...

As the host, the deputy leader of the Democratic Party, Douglas Rickman, had to be mindful of his guests. He had been chatting and interacting with essential guests to make them feel welcome.

But he also kept looking at the gate from time to time, becoming distracting. He couldn't afford to mess up by failing to greet the most critical guest yet to arrive.

Finally, seeing three figures at the door, his eyes lit up. He quickly excused himself and said sorry to the guests around him, and went to greet the people in question.

"Hey, Robert, you are finally here. Sure kept me waiting! " He spread his hands and gave Robert a warm hug; Laura stood aside with a smile.

"Mrs Rothschild, thank you for coming to this banquet." Douglas gave Laura a gentleman's kiss. He was conscious of other people's gaze.

"Douglas, we are old friends; what are you doing being so formal with me?" Laura gave him a playful look. Despite Douglas being a few years older than her, he was a member of her 'gang' in the olden days.

"Haha, this is a formal occasion, but don't tell me to call you 'big sister' or 'boss'. You have to understand I don't want to let others know about my 'dark' past. " Johnson scolded with a smile. Honestly, he was scared but heard that the 'demoness' was a little tame after becoming a mother.

But it was better to be prepared. He had made a list bunch of excuses if, by chance, she went wild tonight!

Douglas and Laura's family were acquaintances. Morgan's family had many members who belonged to the Democratic Party, and the political views of the two were surprisingly consistent. They watched each other grow up and were quite close friends.

"Ah, isn't this Samuel? Honestly, your kid is getting more and more handsome. Follow me later, and I will introduce you to pretty ladies."

Seeing Samuel Douglas's eyes lit up, he was enamoured, which made him joke directly, but he overlooked a key point.

" Hoho, Playing matchmaker, are we?" Laura asked from the side.

" No, this-, I just heard a few things and wanted to help my nephew! Please forgive me!" As soon as he saw the glimpse of Laura's past self, he started blabbering and explaining.

" Do it! I don't care how but this boy needs it!" Laura encouraged him.

" Huh?"

"Mom, it's enough. We have already talked about this." faced with a sticky situation, Samuel touched his nose awkwardly.

"Lately, she has been really clamouring for it." Samuel thought.
