Before Fernando could talk, Matthew issued a directive. “Ensure every security guard can recognize Stella.”
“Okay.” Fernando nodded, though perplexed. “The situation in North city has been resolved, and the project will proceed as planned.
Additionally, our operatives are scouring the nightclubs in Seamarsh for any trace of Rose. We should have a lead soon.”
At night, Rose sported her fancy makeup, giving her a fairy-like appearance, with sparkles twinkling around her eyes, adding to her charm.
As she headed towards the stage, she overheard other actors chatting about how generous a big shot in the audience was tonight.
Rose was determined to give her best performance.
She planned to leave Seamarsh after the show. Therefore, impressing that big shot could mean extra tips for her journey.
The news about Leo had everyone talking, and it scared her stiff.
She dreaded to think what Matthew might do if she stayed in Seamarsh.
And if Elizabeth caught wind of her disobedience, she’d be fuming.

Just the thought made Rose shiver.
So, sticking around Seamarsh was out of the question.
While performing on stage, Rose spotted a handsome man in the audience, flanked by bodyguards. She figured he was the big shot.
She pushed herself even harder towards him. And sure enough, when she saw the satisfaction on his face and heard the applause, she knew she’d succeeded.
After the show, Rose hurried off stage, eager to collect her pay from the manager and leave without delay.
“Hess was pretty generous with the tips just now. He wants to grab a drink with you. I’ll escort you there,” the manager said, grinning at Rose like she was Lady Luck herself.
He and Rose had a sweet deal going on. She made money, he got his cut. Simple as that.
But Rose had other plans and declined politely, “Sorry. Got some urgent stuff back home. I must dash. I won’t be coming back here again.”

The manager frowned but he couldn’t risk upsetting Hess.
“Hess mentioned he’d slip you a cool two million if you join him for a drink,” the manager hinted, winking. “Figure you could use the cash.
Plus, who turns down money, right?”
Two million? That kind of sum got Rose’s attention real quick.
She figured knocking back a drink wouldn’t hurt much. After a brief hesitation, she nodded and agreed.
The manager escorted her to the box, where the bodyguards checked her in before he took off.
