A Star in Hollywood
(Original Title: 好莱坞中的一位)
Gloria was once a vibrant star at the height of her career. It was expected that she would indulge in extravagance and leisure, but she defied these expectations. She is remarkably different, often engaging in activities that would surprise you, earning her the title of ‘a wise and good-natured housewife among stars.’ One day, a reporter, intrigued by Gloria’s beauty, arranged a special interview with her. To the reporter’s surprise, it was her husband, Mr. Taylor, who warmly received him. I found this quite strange because Gloria was known to never avoid the press. Why then, today, did she have her husband meet the reporter on her behalf? I began to suspect something private must have come up. Mr. Taylor, already aware of my confusion, quickly reassured me, ‘Mr. Chin, you will see that my wife is just as genuine as she appears today.’
