Her icy, cool vibe was even more attractive than Jason’s, and the girls nearby were completely mesmerized.
‘Oh my god… That side profile, that jawline, that icy voice. I’m dead, I’m literally dead!”
‘How is she more of a star than the actual celebrities? Jason and Verena look totally average next to her.”

Jason and Verena would occasionally chat with Natalie to keep the mood lively, but she just replied politely and kep pretty reserved
The cameraman followed behind, carrying his camera and keeping a steady shot of the three as they walked away.
The director watched from behind the monitor, rubbing his chin. He said to his assistant, That girl really pops on ca She’s gorgeous, and her whole vibe stands out. Go ask if she’d be interested in joining us.”
