Chapter 31
She couldn’t fathom what was so special about Natalie. Audrey had racked up a mountain of debt with the Howard family. Despite the family’s outright disdain for both Audrey and Natalie, Brian kept showing Natalie mercy!
But Brian withdrew his arm, replying coldly, “Stay at home until the heat from those nasty comments online dies down. You don’t want the media making a meal out of it. Head back, will you?”
“1.” Gracia was at a loss for words, watching as Brian turned and reentered the hotel.
Gracia was still fuming from yesterday’s debacle.
Gavin had given Brian the excuse that with Gracia’s reputation plummeting after the trending scandal, casting her as the lead in the decade–in–the–making blockbuster of Global Entertainment Group would be a financial bloodbath.
Besides, it was Davis who had snagged that opportunity for Gracia, not Brian. He seemed utterly disinterested in the matter. Ever since Natalie’s return, Brian seemed progressively more indifferent to Gracia’s affairs.
Gracia thought to herself, “I had to take action and reel Brian back to me like before.”
“…Don’t you know how Natalie landed that role? She was a nobody before, so how does she walk straight into a third lead role the minute she joins the company? Don’t you find that odd?” An actress whispered.
“Maybe because she’s pretty. Plus, she studied abroad.” Another actress echoed.
“That’s not it at all. She’s the president’s pick under Mr. Miller’s wing! And just yesterday, she was in the president’s office with him alone for nearly an hour! And at the dinner earlier, she seemed to be flirting with the producer, right?”
Brian, passing by the restroom, saw the two lead actresses from the dinner party whispering to each other as they walked past
him.
For a moment, he had been bewitched into thinking that Natalie might need saving.
But it seemed she was the one doing the seducing.
After removing her makeup, Natalie slipped into a hotel bathrobe and checked her phone for the message King had sent.
