The Year I Was the Other Woman To Myself novel Chapter 568

Natalie's eyes darted thoughtfully. "It's fine. It's not like she can eat me."

The moment Maria was done with her scene, she spotted Natalie. She struck up a conversation, feigning warmth, and then announced she was treating the entire crew to dinner, inviting Natalie to join.

Natalie smiled faintly. "Of course."

That evening, Maria booked out a restaurant. The entire cast and crew went, but the director, producer, and a few lead actors were in a private room.

Maria pulled Natalie into the private room as well, insisting she sit next to her.

"Natalie, do you remember? You were always the one treating the crew to dinner. Back then, I was just a minor actress with no standing, just tagging along for a free meal." Maria poured Natalie a glass of wine. "Consider this my way of paying you back. Don't hold back."

Natalie accepted the glass and smiled. "Yes, how the tables have turned. You never know who will have the last laugh."

She clinked her glass against Maria's and drained it in one go.

Maria's smile faded slightly, but she also finished her drink.

"But someone who's already out of the game has no right to talk about winning or losing."

"Someone who's out can still get back in on their own merit."

"Ha, and you have that merit?"

Natalie blinked. "How do you know I don't?"

Maria's lips tightened as she refilled Natalie's glass. "If you still want to act, I could put in a good word for you with Hamilton. But what you did back then made him so angry... I don't think he can ever forgive you."

"What did I do?" Natalie raised an eyebrow.

Maria feigned surprise. "What you did? You've forgotten?"

"I really can't seem to recall."

"Do you really want me to say it out loud?"

"Go on."
