Chapter 346


    Oakwood Hotel was a small-scale joint, tagged as a hotel, but it was just a notch better than a motel


    really.


    The front desk staff, most of them were the boss’s rtives or buddies.


    This receptionist was kinda hesitant, “But we’ve got rules in the industry, cant spill guests’ info. He


    seems to go by the name Max, a tall guy, built like a brick house


    Cicely left the hotel, mentally jotting down the name Max. She hailed a cab, a tear trickling down her


    cheek. She was utterly humiliated, didn’t know who to turn to with this shame, so she just cried in


    silence.


    The cabbie took a peek at her, “What’s the matter, miss? Got your heart broken? Don’t cry”


    This only made Cicely more heartbroken. Last night she just went to a friend’s birthday shindig at the


    Red Jack Club. As she was leaving, a sudden pain hit her at the back of her head, and then she


    cked out


    Allison noticed the fridge was packed with grub. She knew Grace had fed her a line.


    Grace was usually frugal, not the type to splurge or waste, let alone shop for groceries when the fridge


    was already full. Grace was usually very economical.


    But why would Grace lie? Why did she y her?


    Allison was stumped. Did Grace have any reason to lie to her?


    At lunch, Allison decided to whip up something. As she got the ingredients from the fridge, she noticed


    half a bowl of chicken soup in the pot.


    Allison furrowed her brows


    The seasoning in the pot was clearly for soup. She knew her mom wouldn’t just leave half a bowl of


    soup, nor would she use a hen for soup, and she certainly didn’t fancy greasy food


    So, the only exnation was, this soup was made for someone else.


    Grace hardly know anyone in Northfield Back when she was with the nagan family, she mostly


    stayed home, and besides cooking and taking care of the nagans, she didn’t do much else


    Allison’s grandparents had passed away And suddenly, Allison felt like she didn’t know her own mom


    anymore


    Her phone vibrated, interrupting Allisons train of thought Allison walked to the living room, nced at


    her phone. It was Gavin.


    She picked up right away, “Gavin, hey, it’s Allison, about earlier


    Before she could finish, Gavin cut her off, I know, I remember you, Allison” He continued, “Calling me,


    you’ve made up your mind, huh? Showbiz ain’t a walk in the park, but you’re cut out for it. The moment


    Iid eyes on you, I knew, you belong in the entertainment industry”


    Allisons face was a born performer’s face. Showbiz today needed actors like Allison, with her fresh,


    unblemished look and lively acting chops.


    “Gavin, if youe across any suitable roles, could you put in a good word for me?” Allison asked


    “Sure, no problem” Gavin said.


    After hanging up. Allison breathed a sigh of relief.


    Some roads, once she took the first step, there was no turning back. Since she had chosen this path,


    she gotta stick to it.

    In the afternoon, Allison nned to sign up for an acting workshop online. After all, she was no pro.


    Even though she had got camera presence, she fell short in many areas. Her acting was intuitive, but


    She took a peek at her social media, and noticed a post Aaron shared.
