A Film Queen

Chapter 379

‘Hey, Milly’s fan here. Welcome to the family. All we need is a bit of her to live.’

The comments flew around.

In the thrum of the live chat’s effusive discourse, the seven adventurers remained oblivious, their attention seemingly immune to the rising tide of adulation for Milly, unbeknownst to herself as the object of newfound fandom.

As they disembarked from the yacht, the crew’s departure was as swift and silent as the dusk settling over the desolate shores. Not a word of parting grace passed their lips.

Proud Hannah, bedecked in her finery and lofty heels, found her countenance shifting to a pallid hue as the stark reality of this untamed, uninhabited expanse struck her with the force of a bitter jest.

Had the live transmission not been underway, thus mandating the preservation of her public image, fury would surely have ignited the powder keg of her indignation long before.

Stephanie, accompanied by the stalwart presence of Matthew, wore a visage of ashen perplexity. “Is this all?” she inquired plaintively, casting a glance about the desolation. “Are we to be forsaken in this place, deemed unfit for human habitation?”

Dakota, less extravagantly garbed but still restrained by her clinging attire, bore the blemish of smeared makeup upon her fair complexion. “This… desolate place,” she murmured, her voice tinged with apprehension. “Surely the crew does not intend to leave us stranded here overnight, right?”

Three of the four young women stood aghast and wan, their disbelief painted upon pallid features. Milly alone maintained an air of composure, her gaze sweeping serenely across the surroundings.

Curious thoughts stirred within her.
