Chapter 2
After her headline-worthy talk show with Gary Dust, Madeline was invited to various TV shows, and she continued playing up with the persona of a naughty slut who didn’t have a single shred of shame.
Madeline sat cross-legged in front of a middle-aged lady with frizzy hair who was the longtime host of Oleana Show.
As usual, she was wearing a skimpy dress that left little to the imagination. She appeared completely at ease in it. Even Oleana was a bit disturbed by her ’dress’ and hesitantly asked, "Before we start our interview, are you sure you are okay with that kind of... dress?"
Madeline glanced at the camera, and realized it was already rolling, so her response would determine people’s perception of her. She smiled, wondering if this old lady was just trying to be polite or condescending to her.
She raised one brow provocatively and asked, "What do you think, Oleana?"
"If you don’t mind, then I’ll ask the staff to give you a blanket to cover your thighs. You know, this is a family-friendly show haha," Oleana tried to joke, but it fell flat as Madeline didn’t laugh along with her.
"Oh, let them see. It will be a good reminder for parents to watch over their kids, right?" Madeline replied lightly, stunning Oleana instantly. Madeline tossed her hair back and continued, "It’s fine. I don’t need a blanket. Let’s start with the interview."
"If you say so..." Oleana agreed reluctantly before beginning with a series of formal and dry introductions. It took a while for Oleana to finally asked the million-dollar question. "You are making headlines right now with your statement in the other talk shows about dating not only Jonathan Hale but two more men at the same time back then. Is that true?"
"Oh, come on, it’s not a big deal, is it?" Madeline turned her head confidently at the camera and said arrogantly, "Why can’t a girl have a little fun? Do you think one is enough? Well, it may be for you, but it’s not for me."
Oleana couldn’t help but shake her head. She had interviewed this ’girl-wonder’ before, the popular child singer who blossomed into a successful actress at the tender age of eighteen when the very first movie she starred in became a box office success.
She was the darling of the camera, a sweet young girl whose innocence and humility seemed untouched by the sudden fame.
Who would’ve expected that innocent young girl to turn into a total slut after disappearing for four years?
