บท 117: Matthew's First Love

Loud R & B music boomed from the speakers where drunken people danced to the rhythm of the beat. The pool area of a beachside villa was packed with celebrities and socialites celebrating an actor's birthday party. An actor who didn't particularly enjoy the party but his manager forced him to throw one to keep up with his image. 

"Happy birthday, man!" A man patted Matthew's back as he sat next to him. 

Matthew looked up and nodded, thanking him for the greeting before he turned his gaze back to the crowd in front of him. He was exhausted from that day's shoot but he had to mingle with his guests too. "Where's your girlfriend?" he asked the man who sat with him.

"Over there, gossiping like there's no tomorrow. Forget about me, what about you? I thought you were going to introduce someone to us tonight?"

Matt shook his head and took a sip from his glass of vodka. "Yeah… I thought so, too. Looks like I won't be able to do that even in the future."
