Chapter 517 Samantha's Plan Falls Through
Natalie was super chill, and the interview went off without a hitch. The media threw a bunch of questions her way, and she handled them all like a pro. One of the reporters even asked for a selfie, and Natalie was all smiles, totally down for it.
Once the interview wrapped up, Natalie and Heather bounced. As soon as they were out of sight, the reporters erupted into conversation.
"Man, Natalie seems pretty cool."
"Yeah, she's got a sweet vibe, looks stunning, and she's about to be in Oscar's new flick. Dynamic Entertainment's got her back big time, and she's definitely going places."
"Remember when we interviewed Eunice? She had a million rules—can't ask this, can't ask that, and every Facebook pic had to be edited. Like, does she really think she's all that?"
"Word is she had a blowout with Charlotte backstage. No wonder neither of them hit the red carpet."
"Speaking of drama, our next interview's with Charlotte."
Samantha hiked up her dress, scanning the room for Adrian. She snuck in here, and if Mindy found out, she'd be in deep trouble.
One of Mindy's assistants was heading her way, and Samantha freaked, ducking out of sight.
Panicking, she stumbled into a lounge.
The lights were off, and she didn't dare switch them on. She crouched behind the sofa, heart pounding.
As the footsteps outside faded, she whipped out her phone and shot a message to Tessa on Facebook: [Found Mr. Howard yet?]
No reply from Tessa.
Samantha's mind started to wander, dreaming about a chance run-in with Adrian that would make him fall head over heels for her. Lost in her daydreams, she suddenly heard footsteps at the door. Crap, she forgot to close it, and someone could walk in any second.
Terrified it might be one of Mindy's crew, Samantha quickly ducked behind the sofa again.
The door creaked open, and two people walked in.
Looked like a guy and a girl.
They didn't bother with the lights and started making out right away. They were going at it hard, and the smooching sounds were loud and clear. Samantha thought the sounds were kinda familiar.
'Wait, isn't that Penelope?' Samantha wondered in surprise.
Penelope, the actress Dynamic Entertainment was pushing as the next big thing, like Wendy's successor!
Samantha clamped a hand over her mouth, realizing she just stumbled onto some major tea.
Penelope was hooking up with some dude here!
Samantha pulled out her phone and started recording the audio.
Penelope and the guy in the black suit were totally into it, oblivious to everything around them. Behind the sofa, Samantha lay flat, her heart racing with every sound.
She was sure the girl was Penelope.
But the guy? No clue.
But to be at this shindig, he had to be either a bigwig at Dynamic Entertainment or one of their male stars.
After what felt like forever, the two finally left the lounge.
Samantha let out a breath she didn't know she was holding and bolted from the lounge, desperate not to get caught. She immediately called Tessa. "Where you at? I just found some major dirt!"
On the other end, Tessa said, "Samantha, looks like Mr. Howard already bailed."
