As Ryan emerged from the tunnel of darkness, he was greeted by a sight that caused his heart to plummet and his cheeks to flush an intense shade of crimson. Blinking in surprise, he managed to offer a sheepish smile to the person in front of him.
"Hello," he stammered, his voice barely above a whisper.
In response, a high-pitched, yet oddly familiar voice erupted with a sharp exclamation. "Pervert!"
Flustered and just as red-faced, the figure in the bathtub scrambled to shield her modesty with her arms. At the same time, Ryan couldn't help but stare, not in a perverted manner, but at the unmistakable face before him.
It was Stephanie Willis, a renowned celebrity who wore many hats in the entertainment industry – singer, songwriter, actress, and a sought-after personality in the world of fame.
Ryan wouldn't classify himself as a die-hard fan of hers, but he certainly recognised her and had, on occasion, liked some of her posts on social media.
