A female actor was invited to a foreign nation along with her best mate for a tourism promotion. The actor and her friend were invited to stay in a luxury hotel, tour hot spots, shop together, and post promotional pictures on the actor's social media accounts. However, the team working with them shared an unusual story: the actor and her girlfriend were rather close, they said. The actor constantly referred to her friend as "the lady", and sought her nod on most things. Perhaps, they could be lovers, the chatter suggested. Perhaps, we said, as we went on with our lives.
