"Where are those beauties you promised to bring over, George? I don't see them anywhere?"
"They're here, they're all here. Everyone can have their fun tonight."
With that, he winked at the girls outside. There were those who were unwilling in the crowd, but there were also those who wanted to grasp this chance, and they led the way in.
Laura followed at the end of the crowd, grumbling internally.
How was this supposed to be a business event?
This was using a business event as an excuse to have the girls drink with them.
Still, there were a lot of people there, which should be fine. She just had to keep herself as unnoticeable as possible. No matter how it went, she had to get it through tonight.
Thinking of that, she shrank her neck, trying to make herself look smaller and less attractive.
When they went inside the compartment, they found that there were plenty of people inside. The compartment was unbelievably big, at least a hundred square.
The sofa before them was seated with a slew of men and women, even a few somewhat famous actresses in the industry.
Laura looked at them, somewhat surprised.
She'd thought they were famous and high enough in the rungs of the entertainment business not to come to a scene like this.
And looking at the men seated beside them, she instantly knew that they were just like here, here to keep company and look pretty.
Who were the people appearing here tonight?
Laura was full of curiosity. At that moment, George murmured, "These are all media tycoons here tonight. If you know what's good for you, don't play the princess here just because you're a bit famous. It's up to you if you can fly up the chain!"
After that, he beamed at the crowd. "It's been a long time, good sirs. These are all new people here. They'll be in your care."
With that, he tugged two girls over and introduced them, having them introduce themselves as well.
"Hello, sir!"
"Nice to meet you, sir!"
"Hey, that's great, that's great."
Laura watched with her own eyes as one tycoon took a girl's hand, leering lustfully, while the other girl took a seat besides another media mogul.
Her face shifted as she gained a new understanding of the drinking party tonight.
This wasn't a drinking party at all; they were just being pimped out.
George must have been involved in this business a lot. As for those outer-circle girls, they might have a chance in emerging into the industry if they could gain the favor of some bigshot in the industry, so they were only happy to attend.
It was a mystery how Maria was connected to these people.
Laura was still thinking her scattered thoughts when George yanked her over and pressed her against an obese man.
"Mr. Jude, this is a piping hot star right now, and she's been in several shows now! You need to look after her a bit tonight."
The one called Mr. Jude grinned at Laura and nodded. "It's all right. I like this sort of pure, chaste celebrity."
With that, he reached out with a fat hand towards her. Laura felt a rolling sense of nausea in her stomach and felt the urge to run outside.
But she lifted her head and saw George's warning look, then finally suppressed her revulsion.
Forget it. On account of the money, she had to take it!
With that, she took her hand out without making a fuss and put up a wineglass, smiling, "A toast to you, Mr. Jude."
"Of course."
Seeing her so willing, Mr. Jude was clearly happy about it, and drained a glass with her.
Laura was fine with drinking, since she could handle it.
If drinking meant she was going to profit, she was okay drinking a bit more.
