The Beauty and the Brain by Natalie Jones novel Chapter 53

Chapter 53 

After breakfast, Cullen sent her to KBK first, and then went to Whitney Group with Dennis. 

Looking at the towering mansion, Marie smiled. Soon, she would make Olive fall from the clouds. high above. 

Walking into the KBK building, the receptionist led her into the office. 

A short-haired woman sat behind the desk, wearing a professional suit and glasses. She looked shrewd and capable. 

She looked up and asked, “Marie Spence?” 

Nodding, Marie replied, “Hello, Ms. Josepy. I’m the new intern.” 

Ms. Josepy’s full name was Daphne Josepy. She was the ace agent in the early years of KBK. In recent 

years, she had been promoted. Apart from Olive, she no longer took on artists. 

In other words, Daphne had played an important role in Olive’s success today. 

Daphne nodded and 

outside.” 

did, “Be an assistant first and ask the secretary to arrange a seat for you 

After going through the entry procedures, Marie followed the secretary to familiarize herself with the artist’s filming process. Then, she heard a commotion at the door. 

A group of people gathered around, and Olive in a long skirt walked out of the crowd. She wore huge sunglasses on her face, revealing her delicate red lips. 

The door of the studio opened and an actress looked pure walked out, wearing a white dress and light makeup, discussing the commercial editing with the photographer. 

Marie recognized her. Shirley, who was also a contract artist, but she had always been tepid. It was said that she and Olive were sisters on the surface, but in private their relationship was very bad. 

Sure enough, Olive walked straight up to Shirley and slapped her without saying a word. 

The onlookers didn’t dare to speak. Olive had a strong backer and a big status, and was notoriously arrogant In the industry. 

“Shirley, I haven’t terminated my contract yet, and you dare to steal my advertisement?” Olive said. 

“What do you mean by stealing your advertisement? The company gave it to me. How can it be yours? Who are you to hit me?” Shirley covered her face and argued. 

Why should I hit you? I’m telling you, don’t even think about the first-tier advertisements. If 1 don’t hit you, you don’t know who is the best artist of KBK!” Olive took off her sunglasses and arrogantly said.

-“Olive Spence! Don’t you just have someone backing you up? What’s the big deal? I’ll kill you!” 

Shirley was humiliated in public. After all, she was a second-tier actress. Once Olive Spence left, 

she was likely to be highly supported by KBK. 

Shirley raised her hand and was about to hit her when the office door suddenly opened, and a shout 

came, “Stop!” 

Daphne stood in front of the office and said, “You two come in!” 

Olive rolled her eyes at Shirley and walked into the office. When she passed by Marie, she was 

startled, but she sneered at her, then left. 

As Marie was outside, she couldn’t hear what was going on inside the office. After a while, Shirley 

ran out crying and returned to the dressing room alone. 

The colleagues gossiped with Marie, “Olive was being such a bully. The whole company knows that her contract will expire in a few months this year, and she still can’t let others have a few ads.” 

Marie asked, “Is Shirley usually bullied like this in the company?” 

“Yes, Shirley has no backstage support. She is timid and doesn’t want to be taken advantage of. Of course, the company will support Olive, but it’s not certain who will be the biggest one since Olive 

Spence is gone.” 

“Yes, yes, there are also a few celebrities who are about the same status as Shirley, and they are all looking forward to Olive leaving!” 

While everyone was talking with her, the office door opened again, and Olive walked out with her handbag. She glanced at Marie and smiled, “My good sister, if you have any dissatisfaction at here, let me know at any time.” 

Then she bent down and said to her in a two-person voice, “I heard that you threatened Carly to avenge your mother? Think about who you are, Marie. You are as cheap as your short-lived 

mother!” 

She smiled and left, but in the eyes of others, it was like the intimate whisper between sisters. 

No one knew that Marie’s heart was stabbed by her words as was by a knife. 

The colleagues who had surrounded Marie earlier suddenly distanced themselves from her. Originally, they thought she was a new intern, beautiful and friendly. Unexpectedly, she was Olive’s sister. Just now, they were talking bad about her. Who knew if she would snitch on them? 

Feeling helpless, she thought, Olive Spence is way better than Carly. 

In the evening, Cullen picked up Marie downstairs from work to went back to Glorious Estate. “Where’s Dennis?” she asked. 

Get Borus 

“The president is still in the company. Let me take you back first.” Cullen said. 

“Is he that busy every day?” she asked. 

“Yeah, the president of Whitney Group is always busy.” Cullen replied. 

After sending Marie back to Glorious Estate, Cullen returned to Whitney Group. 

Melissa had already prepared dinner and placed it on the table. She left after saying goodbye to 

Marie. 

All of a sudden, there was only her alone in the huge apartment. The empty apartment was actually 

a bit scary. 

She sat in the living room flipping through a magazine, trying to wait for Dennis to come back for dinner together. Unknowingly, she fell asleep on the sofa. 

It was already dark when Dennis returned. He opened the door and entered the house. The living room was a little dim, and only the lights outside shone in, and the curled-up figure on the sofa appeared a little lonely in that scene. 

He changed into his slippers and squatted down in front of the sofa. Marie slept soundly on his arm, with long eyelashes and her lips pouted. She seemed a little uncomfortable, and she raised her hand. and rubbed her mouth, looking cute. 

Dennis patted Marie’s little face, and she opened her eyes in a daze. When she saw Dennis, she sat up from the sofa and rubbed her eyes. Her voice was hoarse, “You’re back?” 

“Well, why don’t you go back to your room to sleep?” Dennis got up and turned on the light. 

“I wanted to sit here and wait for you to eat, but I fell asleep.” Marie got up and went to the bathroom to wash her face. She poked her head out and asked him, “Have you eaten?” 

“No, come and eat.” Dennis said. 

She walked to the dining room and had dinner with Dennis. As she said that she saw Olive at KBK today, her sleepiness was swept away. 

Dennis looked at the chattering girl in front of him and smiled. She was like a wife waiting for her husband to come home. 

In the past few days, Marie had been ostracized in KBK, and everyone had distanced themselves from her because she was Olive’s sister. 

But Daphne was making things difficult for her. If Olive hadn’t instructed her in advance, Daphne wouldn’t have had the guts to do so. 

On this day, Daphne asked Marie to go to the TV station to deliver a dress to Olive. Marie was confused, “Olive has her own assistant. Why should be the one to deliver the dress?” 

“Is it hard to send your sister a dress? And she’s in a hurry to be on the show and needs it, so she must be happy to see you deliver it.” Daphne threw the dress to her.
