Chapter 89
Natalie knew there was no point in pleading for mercy. It was only at this moment that she fully grasped the ruthlessness of Brian.
As she stared at her phone and the anti–tracking app she’d been considering, she finally decided to delete it, reverting her phone to the tracking settings Brian had installed. After al she was on home turf, and any long–term irregularities would surely raise his suspicions
Just then, a text from Gavin popped up. [Uriah just hit me up. He’s found enough meds for the next few days. We’ll figure something out. Don’t stress too much.]
A wave of relief washed over Natalie at Gavin’s message. Having meds was all that mattered.
When Rosie heard Natalie was back in town, she burst through the door without knocking catching Natalie in a moment of disheveled vulnerability on the edge of her bed.
“Oh, sorry…” Rosie blurted out an apology, already turning to leave.
“It’s cool” Natalie said, mustering some energy to stop Rosie from exiting. “What’s up?
Rosie turned back and handed over a rehearsal schedule. “Your first scene is tomorrow. You’ve got three. Take a look to see if there are any issues.”
Natalie quickly scanned the week’s rehearsal plan, frowning slightly.
As the third lead, she was slated for just over sixty scenes. But Miller had crammed fifteen of them into her schedule this week, especially since they were shooting a period drama with tight sets, and not even the most seasoned actors could nail every scene on the first take without disrupting others‘ shooting schedules or hogging the sets.
“It’s a tall order,” Rosie murmured. “But I believe in your chops. Gavin’s picks never disappoint Natalie looked up, meeting Rosie’s eyes.
“Get some good shuteye tonight. I reckon you’re still jet–lagged. Tomorrow, I’ll have others shoot in the morning, and we’ll take the afternoon and evening slots, okay?*
Since Miller had made such arrangements, Natalie, as the third lead, couldn’t afford to rock the boat too much.
“Sounds like a plan,” she nodded and responded softly.
The next day, Natalie was still in bed when she was jolted awake by Rosie’s urgent knocking.
“I’m coming in!” Rosie bustled in, yanking open the curtains, grabbing clothes, and squeezing out toothpaste. “Up and at them!”
Natalie had a restless night and had stayed up late running lines. She groggily sat up at Rosie’s commotion and saw it was just past nine on her phone. “What’s going on?”
“Sofia’s throwing a fit!” Rosie whispered. “You’ve got a scene with her today, and she won’t

budge on rescheduling. It’s a mess over at the set right now.”
Soffa, the show’s secondary lead, had disliked Natalie since the first day she joined the Global
Entertainment Group
