Kill the Lights

“Ha….., Haha. Oh my gosh, Liz.”

Haley’s cousin, Joy, was laughing as if she couldn’t find her words. On the camera screen was the image of Haley, forcefully dragging Noah’s arm into a hotel room.

She zoomed in on the picture using her fingers, and Noah’s cold expression was evident.

‘Should I touch this up a little? Should I make it such that he wears a more perplexed and panicked expression?’

“No. This is already perfect, so I don’t need to touch up and end up in trouble.”

Joy murmured quietly and laughed.

At first she thought she wouldn’t acquire anything useful. Haley was neither drinking like his usual self, nor was he flirting with other male actors. He acted like he already knew she had her camera quietly pointed at him.

She waited for several hours, but there was nothing to capture.

When Raynoah appeared halfway through, she thought she would finally get something, but once again nothing happened. The two talked as if their relationship wasn’t bad, and Raynoah didn’t seem unpleasant. It seemed more like he was enjoying it.

Damn it. Joy cursed and lamented at the fact that she was wasting her time. The banquet hall was loud and chaotic, and it looked like Haley was the only sober person.

Today didn’t work out. She thought this could keep happening every time and felt exhausted.

She put the camera back in her bag and prepared to go home, but was startled and hesitated upon seeing Haley taking Vick over to the elevator.

Of course there was a tacky rumor that something was going on between those two, because of Vick’s recent behavior. The rumor went around like this; since Haley was a prodigal gay who flirted with any guy, he sucked the director’s dick in order to land the role. Ten years ago, even when Haley’s parents were alive, there was such a rumor too.

Indeed the rumor has spread once again, but it was not as bad as usual. One of the reasons was that, Vick was unquestionably straight and loved his wife very much, but the biggest reason was because he was already famous for creating several big hits. No matter how good you are at fellatio, if you could get chosen for the main role simply because you are great in sucking dicks, then why was Melisa suddenly fired? Since she was also pretty well-known for that.

Anyway, a picture taken of just throwing the drunken director into a hotel room and exiting would be useless, no matter how misleading the picture was taken. Plus with this many witnesses, the very next day after the picture is publicized, countless number of staffs will testify how drunk the director was and who was the only person that didn’t drink.

Refraining from drinking in such a kind of party would only improve Haley’s image. Joy bit her fingernail and hesitated whether she should follow them or not.

Joy thought that unless those two kiss in front of the door, the picture would be useless. She moved to look for indemnification, since her whole day’s work was in vain.

She already found out the hotel room key number that Tony had given Haley. Room 1218. Joy rode another elevator, next to the one that Haley went up on, and got off on the 13th floor and then went down to 12th floor via the stairs. She looked for a place to hide near Room 1218.

It’ll probably take some time for him to drag the drunken Vick. Joy hid behind a flowerpot and yawned. After she set up the camera, Haley was seen running in the hallway with a scary face. And the person, who was being dragged by him behind his back, was surprisingly not Vick.

A man and a woman ran after them and tried to pry open the door, but they couldn’t. Joy just stared at them for a second and thought ‘they must be another paparazzi’ and turned away. They weren’t carrying a camera and she was the only person who captured this perfect moment.

Joy turned off Raynoah’s picture. Dragging this handsome man to a hotel room, you sly bastard. Will he remember this night even after his life gets destroyed?

No, maybe Raynoah, who got back to his senses, will walk back out and nothing will happen. But the important thing was that she took a picture of something that worth a lot of money.

And it was also the picture that could put Haley’s life in a trashcan.

“Haha…., I told you to watch out, didn’t I?”

She smirked and took out her phone and started to contact some of the reporters she knew.
