“Hadley, stop pretending | don’t exist or acting like | don’t matter. If you're angry with me, that’s fine. | can take

Hadley didn’t respond.
She honestly didn’t know if he was serious or just losing his mind.
When the meal cto an end, they headed back to the film set.
As they arrived, Hadley gave him a quick wave of dismissal. “You don’t need to walkthe rest of the way.
You're busy too, so just head back.”
“Hadley...”
Eric watched her sprint away and slowly shook his head, a trace of helplessness in his expression.
He didn’t leave the area right away. Instead, he booked a room at the shotel where Hadley’s filming team
was staying and spent the rest of the day catching up on his work.

“It’s gotten this late already?” He let out a breath, gently rubbing at his temples, and then reached for his phone
and made a call. “Hello, Mr. Faulkner. This is Eric.”
“Mr. Scott, good evening.”
“Would you happen to be free later tonight? The thing is...”
After hanging up, Eric smiled faintly, picked up his coat from the chair, and stepped out of the room.
Not long after he left, two figures quietly approached the door he had just exited.
One of them was that fan of Linda’s who had caused trouble before, and the other was Ayla.

other girl and lowered her voice. “Go now, quickly. I'll keep watch out here.”
“Got it.”
The woman gave a firm nod, then reached into her pocket and took out a keycard. It was for the very room Eric
had been staying in. She slipped inside without hesitation.

Ayla stood near the doorway, took a slow, quiet breath, and kept a lookout in the hallway.
After a while, the woman cback out.
“Did everything go as planned?” Ayla asked in a hushed, urgent voice.
“Relax,” the woman replied, giving a confident nod. “It was simple, and | made sure it’s all taken care of.”
“Perfect.”
