THE PHONE

࿇ ══━━━━✥◈✥━━━━══ ࿇

Sunlight streamed into the bedroom, and the alarm on her phone jolted the sleepy woman awake. She glanced around the room, her eyes landing on the rumpled side of the bed that still held the warmth of the previous night. A smile tugged at her lips, even though she was alone in the bedroom. There were no red marks on her wrist to worry about, but the white fabric on the bed reminded her of the intimate moments they had shared. The actress couldn't help but feel a tinge of embarrassment, especially when she thought about the red mark on her chest. It was something she had to be cautious about, as any visible signs could attract unwanted attention from journalists in the entertainment news.

"Susie must be complaining about this for sure."

She mused to herself. She didn't have to wait long to hear what her personal manager had to say. As soon as he arrived and saw her, he launched into a tirade of words. It was nearly impossible to make out what he was saying, so she let him tire himself out. He stared at her face, expecting some answers this morning like any other.

"Let's go, Susie. We'll be late for work,"

"No, you have to tell me what happened first,"

The actress wouldn't have minded if there were no visible traces. Journalists seem to have eyes and ears everywhere nowadays. If they captured an image of her, she would become prey to the gossip-hungry media. Even if she claimed it was a bug bite or an allergic reaction, it wouldn't be enough. Moreover, she had been summoned by her father, the General, for an urgent meeting. He couldn't bear to see his beloved and cherished daughter in such a state.

"Nothing,"

"How can there be nothing? Earn, even though I can only see one mark, I'm sure there's more,"

Earn sighed and looked at her personal manager, who had always been there for her. It was true that she and the other person had gotten carried away last night, reminiscing about their memories of the past.
