<div style="text-align: justify;">Magdalene had no idea about what was going through Antony's mind. She thought he was going to help her fulfill her dream of being an actress. What she couldn't imagine was that he had very different plans. No, she was still too young and raw. She still believed people were fundamentally good. That was a belief that would probably be taken away very soon.<br/><br/><span style="color: #8000FF">"Thank you"</span>, the girl murmured when Anthony said Sheris would get them some water. She really didn't want to bother anyone, but since it was not really inconveniencing the woman, she decided not to protest. <br/><br/>Nodding when the man told her not to trouble herself with worry, Magdalene tried to focus on the reason why she was there, all the while keeping an eye on the man for any signs that he needed help. <br/><br/>When Sheris returned, Magdalene nodded with a murmured <span style="font-style: italic">'thank you'</span> and took a sip of her glass when it was handed to her. <span style="color: #8000FF">"My trip here was fine, sir, thank you"</span>, the girl replied softly. <span style="color: #8000FF">"I haven't seen much of the city yet, but I trust I will soon. As for the hotel, it is lovely, but a tad too much, I believe"</span>. The girl seemed a little uncomfortable. The room she had been given was bigger than she cared for, and more luxurious than she expected.<br/><br/>Shaking her head when the man apologized, the girl smiled. Her smile spoke of youth, still clean and untainted. <span style="color: #8000FF">"No need to apologize, sir. I hope this makes you feel better"</span>.<br/><br/>After a pause, Magdalene started playing with a lock of the well kept golden hair that went almost down to her waist. <span style="color: #8000FF">"I... I am still a little confused, sir. I mean... you had me come here, and I am grateful. But I believe I am completely raw"</span>. The girl sighed. <span style="color: #8000FF">"I have barely reached eighteen, and... it's... a little scary to be here, all alone"</span>. Getting a grip, the young blond took one more sip of her water. <span style="color: #8000FF">"I will do as I am told, though, sir"</span>, she completed, trying to keep her voice from faltering.</div>
