Victor's schedule was always kept under wraps. Fans only knew he was flying to Windwatch today, but not the exact time. Even so, it caused quite a stir, with fans camping out at the airport before dawn.But Victor was too good at disguising himself. He made it onto the plane through the VIP lane without being noticed.He didn't like traveling with an entourage, just his manager accompanying him.Victor had only entered showbiz two and a half years ago. His very first movie earned him a grand slam of awards. He gained tons of fans thanks to his excellent acting and handsome looks.While other stars who debuted at the same time were still figuring out how to act, he was already at the top of his game from day one.In just two short years, he'd starred in three movies, all rated above 8.8.When people assumed he was just coasting on his looks, he insisted on relying on skill instead. And he was so incredibly talented that he achieved a reputation of "No bad movies with Victor Truex."His
Victor asked the flight attendant for an iced coffee. She recognized him right away and got all flustered, bringing over a bunch of sugar packets with the coffee.Victor loves coffee but can't handle the bitterness - all his fans know that.He mumbled a "thanks" in that lazy, deep voice of his. When he talks low like that, it's a bit raspy and sends shivers down your spine.The flight attendant was blushing hard. If she wasn't on the job, she totally would've asked for his autograph.Victor drank half the coffee before setting it aside and pulling out his phone to scroll through Twitter. His manager glanced over and immediately frowned."Why are you still looking at her trending topics?" he asked.Victor was checking out Eulalia's trending posts. He didn't know why he was so into this chick, but he'd even made a burner account just to follow her."Don't tell me you've got a thing for her," his manager said, looking horrified. It wasn't crazy for him to think that - Victor had never fo
The manager secretly checked out Eulalia's looks, but couldn't see her full face since she was wearing a mask.Still, her vibe was way different from her online image. Her makeup-free skin was delicate and clear, and her hair wasn't like crazy - just naturally flowing down her back.Maybe feeling hot, she casually braided her long hair and tossed it over her shoulder. Her fluffy hair made the back of her head look nice and round, with cute little ear tips peeking out that you just wanted to pinch.Even from far away, you could see her long eyelashes framing those almond-shaped eyes. Eulalia's eyes were definitely her best feature - slightly upturned at the corners, super captivating when she looked at you intently."She seems pretty different from the Eulalia I know online and in person?" the manager said.Honestly, if he hadn't looked closely, he wouldn't have recognized her as Eulalia at all. He had no idea how Victor, who's usually bad with women's faces, spotted her right away."S
When they arrived in Windwatch, the flight attendants did their final safety checks and reminded passengers to prepare for landing.Eulalia slowly woke up, her eyes still sleepy. She rubbed her shoulders and quietly waited for the plane to land.During the 10-15 seconds of landing, there's a feeling of weightlessness. Eulalia looked out at the scenery - Windwatch was still the same city, not much had changed in three years.After the plane stopped, Eulalia got up and walked towards the VIP exit. She moved unhurriedly, turning with her bag.Seeing Eulalia coming, Victor suddenly stood up, blocking her path like a mountain.Victor was very tall - Eulalia only came up to his shoulder. She took a step back to keep some distance, raising her eyes to meet his gaze directly.Victor's previous excitement completely crumbled under Eulalia's stare. He tensed up and ave
Eulalia pushed down her thoughts. "Mr. Truex, could you move aside? I'm in a hurry to get off the plane."Victor obediently stepped back. Seeing Eulalia heading for the VIP exit, he quickly caught up and started babbling behind her."Where are you going after you get off? Straight to the hotel the staff set up? I'm heading there too. How much luggage do you have? I can get my manager to help you carry it..."Bob thought to himself: "...I'm your manager, not a porter. Even if I was an assistant, I'm not here to help you hit on girls."Eulalia kept walking without slowing down. She just said coolly, "Your fans are waiting outside. I don't want to be seen with you."Victor felt a pang in his heart. For the first time, he felt like being super famous was a mistake.Why did he even get into showbiz in the first place?It was because he kept hearing a voice in his head, telling him to stand in the spotlight so a certain girl would notice him.He didn't understand why he had such a cringey t
Eulalia listened to her quiet murmurs, her eyes suddenly stinging. So even after her death, someone still remembered her and cared about how she was doing.Eulalia smiled softly. "Don't worry... I think she's doing just fine..."The owner gazed at her face, lost in thought. "Yeah, good things happen to good people. Kind souls are blessed by God. She must be doing well."The owner went back to the kitchen. Sizzling sounds came from inside, and two minutes later she brought out a fried egg, placing it on Eulalia's table. "This is on the house."Eulalia didn't refuse. She thanked her and took a bite of the egg in front of the owner. It was crispy on the outside, tender inside, and incredibly tasty.The owner was in her fifties. She'd been working on this street for over 30 years, watching many people grow up.No matter how much they try to take care of their skin, people who run restaurants can't keep it looking good. Her wrinkles were deep, and her hair was starting to turn gray.Eulali
The next morning, Eulalia got up and did her usual hour of yoga before ordering breakfast.The room service guy showed up in less than 10 minutes with a cart full of all kinds of breakfast goodies."Didn't I just order dumplings?" Eulalia asked.The waiter explained, "A Mr. Truex asked us to prepare this for you in advance."Eulalia got it right away, but there was no way she could eat all this by herself."I'll just take what I can eat. Could you please take the rest back? Let's not waste food."The waiter nodded in agreement.Eulalia grabbed the dumplings. This was already more than enough to stuff her."Enjoy your meal," said the waiter as he wheeled the cart out.Eulalia went back to her bedroom and unplugged her phone that had been charging all night. She sent Victor a text:"Thanks for the breakfast."She was about to put her phone down when she saw "typing..." pop up. She paused, waiting patiently for his reply."I didn't know what you liked, so I ordered one of everything the
