The Promise of Happiness (Natalie and Samuel) novel Chapter 471

Chapter 471 Who Is The Dirtier One

Natalie affirmed that with a smile and a nod.

“I like her, but I’ve no plans to confess my feelings for her at the moment. Having been in the business for so many years, I know my own emotional boundaries. But that may not be the case for her.”

Lucas took a sip of alcohol before he continued, “This is her first production, so I’m concerned whether her fondness for me could be an extension of the feelings she developed whilst in her role. That’s why I’m thinking about waiting for another half a year before I approach her.”

Lucas’ thoughtfulness toward Wendy set Natalie’s mind at ease.

“I was right about you, Lucas.”

“You’ve always had a good eye for people, Ms. Nichols.” Lucas set down his glass and shifted his gaze onto her. “Wendy’s a very talented actress, making it only a matter of time before she establishes herself in the industry.”

“Hopefully so.”

After Natalie finished the glass she had on hand, she, too, got up to go to the restroom.

As she was passing by another private room, she heard a man’s lascivious words emanating from the inside. That, and Wendy’s resistant voice.

“I can’t drink anymore! Drinking too much will cause me to develop rashes!”

“Really? You’d think starring in the first production in your career makes you too good for everybody else, Wendy Xander? You should be flattered that Mr. Zygmunt here thought enough of your looks to invite you over for a few drinks, so don’t try to push your luck!”

“I can’t! Let go of me! I want to leave!”

“What’s this now? Acting all pure and innocent? Who’d believe that a newbie like you could snag a starring role all without having attended a single lesson in acting, and has managed to do so while also keeping her nose clean? I bet you must have slept with more than your fair number of wealthy investors along the way, haven’t you? Keep us company tonight, and we’ll guarantee that you’ll be the lead actress in your next production as well!”

“I don’t want to! Let me go!”

These people.. How dare they bully Wendy? They’re really asking for it!

Worried about causing collateral damage, Natalie smiled apologetically at a man in a white sweater who was passing by. “Sorry, mister. Please steer clear.”
