The assistant replied. [If we can obtain Dream Maker, why bother with Tate Industries?]
[...] Natalie had not expected Dean to be this ambitious.
[Natalie, I know that you are proud and have your own point of view, but speaking from experience, it's best that you just listen to your father. That's the only way you can be more successful.]
[I'm really curious about how much he is paying you each year to get you to be so obedient.]
[... You said you ran into Avery and Elliot in the hospital. Why were you at the hospital?] [I've been hit.]
[...By who? Can we talk on the phone now?]
[My aunt. I’ve stopped considering her my aunt, though, from the moment she hit me ]
[I was wondering who had the guts to hit you. Are you free tonight? I will buy you dinner.]
Natalie hesitated.
Dean's assistant was a divorced man in his forties, he looked awfully greasy but had a brilliant way with his job so Dean trusted him.
Natalie had enemies in all directions at the present. Avery and Elliot could decide to seek revenge at any time. Dean looked down on her and was purposely suppressing her, so she could not do what she did best. She was at a point where she felt like she needed permission to breathe. She recognized that she had to find a way to escape the current situation.
