A One Night Stand With My Boss (by Ela Osaretin) novel Chapter 178

Camila nodded with a smile, following Erica inside.

Inside the banquet hall.

Camila's eyes were searching for Haylie.

"Over there is the head of Silver Screen Studios, and that's the big shot from Starlight Entertainment... it’s a room full of celebrities," Erica whispered behind her hand.

Camila was uninterested in them and asked, "Where's Haylie?"

"The star of the show won't make an appearance so early. She’s bound to make a grand entrance!" Erica laughed.

Camila nodded in agreement.

"Why don't you go sit over there or wander around a bit? I need to say hello to some colleagues, but I'll be back to keep you company soon," Erica suggested, pointing towards a set of sofas in the corner.

"Go ahead with your work. I’ll be fine," Camila said with a smile.

"Alright, just entertain yourself for a bit, and don’t drink any alcohol," Erica instructed.

"Got it, go ahead," Camila said, chuckling resignedly.

Camila walked over to the bar and grabbed a glass of juice. She overheard two women chatting and recalled that they were close friends from online interactions.

Fair-skinned beauty: "Hey, darling, you’ve lost a lot of weight!"

Tall, slender beauty: "Yeah, just finished filming with a top director. I was suspended in harnesses every day, which was so exhPeterg. But you’re the lucky one. Your skin has gotten even fairer."

The fair-skinned woman clenched her teeth. "Really? I heard that the director’s movies have been flopping these past few years."

The tall, slender woman glanced at her and chuckled, "Box office isn’t something I can control. I only do my best in my role, which is certainly better than someone sitting at home like a couch potato, right?"

The fair-skinned woman scoffed and stormed off.

Camila sipped her juice, intrigued by the superficial friendships in the entertainment industry.

Erica soon returned and found Camila at the bar, drinking juice. She linked arms with her and asked, "Bored yet?"
