Chapter 2

Returning home at one in the morning, I received a schedule from my agent, Stella.

"Live stream promotion at 9 AM. Don't oversleep!"

I collapsed onto my double bed, feeling utterly defeated.

Some people are just destined to work hard all their lives.

Just then, my phone buzzed again.

I frowned and opened it to find a video from my online crush.

But this video was different from the usual ones.

In the video, the headless man wore a white shirt, unbuttoned, with a tie loosely hanging around his neck.

His long fingers traced from his elegant collarbone down his firm muscles to his eight-pack abs, finally resting on his black belt.

"Baby, I had a bit to drink tonight. It's so hot, I really want to hold you."

!!!

This was testing my limits as a human being!

I swallowed hard, and my inner voice was screaming.

Go meet him, Davina. You won't lose anything, right?

Exactly!

With that body and that deep voice, there's no way I'd lose out!

Worst case, I'll just wear a few extra masks when we meet.

I immediately replied, "Alright, let's meet!"

Once I said that, neither of us could sleep from the excitement.

We ended up chatting in the game, roaming the virtual world together.

When Stella arrived, I was chatting about last night's gossip while playing on my online crush's character.

I praised a male colleague as a rare good man.

My online crush immediately got excited, "Am I not a good man in your eyes?"

Afraid he'd get jealous and attack me in the game, especially with someone else around, I quickly reassured him, "Of course you are. You're the best man in the world."

"Hmph, that's more like it. You should focus on me and not look at other guys."

"Alright, alright."

Stella chuckled as she pulled me into the car, just as my character got knocked out by an enemy hero.

My online crush's low, magnetic voice came through the phone.

"Baby, get back up." Wow, that voice is just too seductive~

In online relationships, you always seek something from the other person.

Like their voice, fingers, chest muscles, abs, thigh muscles...

And my online crush had it all.

How could I let him go so easily?

Hearing the voice, Stella frowned slightly, "Danny?" I was taken aback, "???" Her question sent a chill down my spine.

I had been so focused on his explosive physique that I hadn't considered the voice.

Thinking back, the tone did sound a bit like Danny.

I tentatively asked, "Could you say 'Baby, get back up' again?"

He immediately repeated in a playful tone, "Baby~ you fell down~ get back up~"

"..."

Stella and I exchanged glances.

There's no way this playful guy could be the aloof Danny.

When we reached the dressing room, the stylist was doing Danny's hair.

I noticed he was playing the same game.

Sneakily, I tried to get a glimpse of his ID, but he suddenly put away his phone and stood up.

His sharp eyes seemed to see right through me.

He glanced down at me and walked straight out of the room.

Hmph, who cares!

With his clumsy skills, he couldn't possibly play better than my online crush!

Half an hour later, the live stream began.

Based on my status, I was the last to enter.

I was forced to sit between Danny and the leading actress.

...

Looks like I'm just part of their little game.

Meanwhile, the live chat was buzzing.

"Finally, I get to see my Danny! He's so cool and handsome!" "Danny, just keep being handsome. Don't worry about us!" "Isn't the girl next to Mr. Robinson a newcomer? Sitting right next to him?"

"No idea, probably someone from the investors. Many actresses today seem to advance through networking."

"Let's just focus on Danny. He's truly a once-in-a-millennium beauty!"

...

I sneaked a glance at the man in a suit beside me, then at the beautiful leading actress on the other side.

I couldn't help but cover my mouth and chuckle.

Looks like this secret is one I can only enjoy by myself.
