It was exactly four oclock in the afternoon in New York.
Nora was sitting in the car, boredly scrolling through the gossip news on her phone.
She was wearing a Burberry plaid mini-skirt, paired with a black fitted T-shirt, and a black baseball cap with the brim pulled low, revealing only her pert nose tip and attractive jawline.
Her face was small to begin with, and with the cap pressed down, almost none of her features were visible.
The driver, alert, glanced into the rearview mirror and said softly, "That car is still following us."
Nora didnt lift her head, yawned, and her eyes glistened with a few tears.
"Then lets drive around some more."
The driver nodded solemnly, gripping the steering wheel tightly and speeding up to try to shake off the white van behind them.
Sitting next to Nora was a girl, her assistant, Sherry.
Assistant Sherry was about the same age as Nora, with a round face that looked approachable, so the two of them had no barriers between them and had a good relationship, occasionally sharing intimate conversations.
Sherry also looked back worriedly and muttered, "These paparazzi really have perseverance. Theyve been following us around since we got off the plane. If you say theyre the best in the business, with this kind of determination, they would succeed in any industry."
Nora listened to Sherrys complaints, which were as amusing as a comedy routine, and couldnt help but let out a soft laugh.
Her voice was pleasant, and her light laughter seemed to carry a gentle breeze that directly entered ones ears, causing a tingling sensation.
Sherry looked down at Nora, remembering the tasks Ms. Wang had given her before they disembarked, and quickly contacted the advertising representatives to inform them that they would arrive on time tomorrow.
After putting her phone away, she was about to take a short rest when she suddenly felt a churning pain in her stomach.
At first, Sherry didnt say anything, thinking she might have eaten something bad on the plane, but the more she endured, the worse it got, with large beads of sweat dripping from her forehead.
Nora noticed the sudden silence beside her and curiously turned her head to look.
It was just this glance—
She saw Sherrys face was as pale as paper, with many beads of sweat on her cheeks.
She frowned and asked with concern, "Whats wrong?"
Sherry waved her hand, weakly saying, "Maybe I ate something wrong on the plane..."
Seeing her condition, Nora quickly told the driver, "To the hospital."
—
At the hospital.
After Nora paid the hospitalization fee for Sherry, she finally let out a sigh of relief.
Fortunately, they arrived in time, preventing Sherry from suffering too much.
Initially, they thought Sherry had just eaten something bad, but upon arrival, they discovered it was acute appendicitis.
This condition could be serious or minor, and Nora was somewhat frightened after hearing about it.
When Nora returned to the ward, she found Pam had already arrived.
As a top agent in the industry, Pam was quite famous.
At a young age, she had multiple stars under her belt, each more popular than the last, and she herself was extremely intelligent, handling the entertainment industry with ease and often turning bad situations into good ones, which earned her an excellent reputation.
At that moment, she was wearing a white womens suit, paired with black high heels, exuding a capable aura.
She looked at Sherry on the hospital bed and softly comforted, "Rest well these days, and try to recover as soon as possible."
Although Sherrys face was pale, she felt a sudden urge to cry when she saw the usually stern Pam soften a bit.
"Thank you, Pam."
However, the next second—
Pam said indifferently, "Recover soon and get back to work."
Sherry: "..."
Nora couldnt help but cough lightly from behind.
Pam turned around at the sound and saw Nora standing in front of her. She lightly raised her eyebrows and said, "I was just thinking about where you had gone."
Nora shook the hospital admission form in her hand and said with a smile, "To pay the fee."
Pam: "Your appearance at the fashion show the other day was great. That diamond black dress was stunning. There was quite a discussion on the hot search today. I knew you were suited to this style, after all, your face is truly flawless."
Nora looked up at her and laughed, "Pam, if you keep praising me like this, Im going to get a big head."
Pam lightly curled her lips and said, "Its okay, Ive always been tolerant of those with capital."
That was true, Nora indeed had capital.
As the most discussed (flow) actress at the moment, whether it was a program she participated in or the clothes and jewelry she wore, they were all topics of lively discussion.
She was naturally attractive to fans, with a lively and cute personality, and she had a keen eye for fashion. Sometimes, even the makeup artists under her were not as skilled as her.
So often, fans would strongly request on Weibo comments for Nora to release a makeup tutorial video.
However, in the eyes of a shrewd businessman like Pam, Noras most powerful pass was—
Her beauty.
It has to be said that in this era where plastic surgery is prevalent, Noras naturally beautiful and extravagant looks are indeed rare.
A fan once gave her a nickname—
【Walking Beauty Killer】
Nora was not only beautiful but also extravagantly so, and her most representative feature was the small mole above her eyelid.
As her eyes moved, that small mole seemed to carry a fatal charm, directly hooking peoples souls.
So the fans defined her mole as—
Peach Blossom Mole.
Charming and enchanting.
Pam later discussed some work matters with Nora in a business-like manner, and when she was about to leave, she remembered she was in a ward and said a few words to Sherry before leaving in a hurry.
Sherry looked at Nora with anticipation.
Nora immediately understood her meaning, raised her lips and asked, "Hungry?"
Sherry nodded her head vigorously.
Nora didnt want Sherry to eat takeout at this time, so she told her that there was a very good porridge shop downstairs and planned to buy some for her.
Sherry was initially touched, but then she asked with some confusion:
"How do you know?"
This question caught Nora off guard for a moment.
She hesitated, then a faint smile appeared at the corner of her lips.
"I heard about it from my family before."
Hearing this answer, Sherry didnt ask any further questions.
Nora turned around, and her previously calm face instantly relaxed a bit.
She patted her chest, let out a gentle breath, adjusted her breathing, and walked out.
When she got to the lobby, Nora couldnt help but look around.
Although she knew the chance of running into that man here was slim, she still looked a few more times.
After looking around—
Sure enough.
She didnt see any similar figures.
After all, there were very few people similar to him.
Thinking that Sherry was still waiting for her in the ward, Nora hurried out.
Although she was wearing a baseball cap, her (aura) was undeniable.
Occasionally, a few people on the road recognized her, took out their phones, and excitedly took photos of her.
Nora remained unmoved, bought porridge from the boss, and ordered a steamer of buns, paid the bill, and quickly left.
Her steps on the road were hurried, the brim of her hat was pressed very low, and she didnt notice when someone appeared in front of her.
Until she felt a sudden darkness in front of her—
The mans distinct and slender fingers gently pinched
