My Wife Is So Sweet (Natalia Dawson) novel Chapter 41

Chapter 41 Old Acquaintance Met

Brian had already opened the door for her and asked respectfully, "Mrs. Mccarthy, where are we going now?"

Natalia turned her eyes and glanced at the safe in the backseat.

A moment later, she answered in a gentle voice, "Let's go home first!"

After returning to Mccarthy Mansion, Mrs. Dottie saw Brian carry a large safe, and thought that Natalia must have bought some precious jewelry.

Mrs. Dottie came to greet them happily. However, she didn't expect to see a very ordinary necklace when they went upstairs together and opened the safe.

Although the design was exquisite and the shredded emeralds on it looked nice, it didn't seem valuable enough to be kept in a safe.

The result was quite unexpected, and Natalia was quite embarrassed.

Brian prepared the safe in case there were valuable items that would be difficult to transport. Anyhow, they were passed down from her mother.

To their surprise, it was just an ordinary necklace.

Natalia could not help but laugh. She was happy to get what her mother had kept for her finally.

She stood by the window and studied the back of the necklace in the sunlight.

There were some engravings on it, the initials of her mother's name, M-C-W.

Her mother had died suddenly, and everything in the house had been taken over by her stepmother and half-sister. The items in the safe were the only items that left to her.

Thinking of this, Natalia feel her heart burning with nostalgic emotions.

She went to the mirror, took off a silver collarbone chain she usually wore, and put on this antique necklace.

Fortunately, the necklace was exquisitely crafted, and even though the style was a bit old-fashioned, it didn't look strange on her.

She smiled, put the necklace into her dress and covered it with her collar. Then, she patted her chest with satisfaction, and then turned around to walk out.

In the afternoon, Natalia went to Star Entertainment.

The company, Star Entertainment, had been transferred to her for several days. She was very busy then, and could hardly spare any time to visit the company in person.

Before she came, she had called the person in charge by phone and informed them about her schedule today.

When she arrived at the company, it was 2 p. m. sharp.

The person who received her was a deputy manager surnamed Norris.

Entertainment companies were different from other companies, because artistes made up the majority of the employees. Compared to companies in other industries, there were not many employees working in the office on a daily basis.

This was especially true for Star Entertainment, a company on the verge of bankruptcy. No one was willing to sit there and wait for death, not to mention that Star Entertainment was acquired by another company and the boss had changed as well. This was something every employee knew.

How the new boss intended to handle the company remained a mystery. Anyone who had a plan or had some connections had already left, or secured another job before the acquisition was finalized.

Those stayed were just newbies who were still dazed and had no idea what to do.

Dennis Norris, the deputy manager brought Natalia to her office and gave her a brief introduction of the current situation in the company.

Natalia analyzed it carefully and found that it was similar to the information she had gathered.

There were only ten artists in the Artist Department right now. There was a five-member male group signed last year.

Although it was called a group, it would be more appropriate to call it a forced binding of a bunch of artistes whose talents were not that obvious.

The rest were just a few yet-to-be-famous artists. Their best works up till now were only roles as eunuchs or courtesans in period dramas, etc.

As for the Agency Department, the few capable agents had left long ago, and those who stayed were fresh graduates whose abilities were no better than the artists.

As for the Public Relations Department, it was simply good for nothing.

Was it a joke? What was the point of doing PR when the artists were not popular at all?

Why not just make something happen so that they could get more exposure in the public?

Even if they became infamous, at least they would achieve some fame!
