Chapter 30
As Rosie ushered her into the dining area, several actors had already arrived. Rosie made
quick introductions. Sensing a harmonious vibe, she hurried off to her next engagement.
Natalie found herself a secluded spot at the corner table and struck up a polite
conversation with the lead actress and her
co–star.
The lead actress was the new darling of the local film scene, and Natalie, having seen her
on a popular TV show, chatted with her a bit longer The supporting actress watched the
exchange with a hardening gaze.
When the production team arrived, Gavin was still missing, apparently held up by some
matter, so the group didn’t wait for him.
The main producer hadn’t been seated long before he noticed Natalie.
Natalie sat quietly, her beauty arresting, reminiscent of a painting.

At his mention, Natalie stood up with a glass of juice in hand, greeting the producer
politely, “I’m Natalie Wright. I’ve been studying abroad and don’t have much acting
experience. Mr. Miller gave me the thumbs–up after an audition a couple of days ago. I’ll
be counting on your patience and guidance.”
“Oh… Miller just mentioned you yesterday,” the producer replied with a warm smile,
standing up and approaching Natalie.
Natalie, slightly flattered, scooted her chair back, inadvertently tangling her dress hem
with the chair leg.
The producer advanced to assist with her dress.
“It’s alright. I’ve got it!” Natalie smoothly avoided his touch, maintaining her composure.
Just then, two soft knocks sounded at the door. Everyone turned to see Gracia, standing by
the doorway with a beaming smile. She first greeted the production team, and then her
eyes fell on Natalie, her smile freezing in place.
Gracia had chosen this evening for her “coincident” encounter with a well–known
producer, not expecting Natalie to be haunting the place as well.
In the dim light of the hallway, a tall man with a brooding expression stood, his gaze fixed
on the producer’s hand entwined with
Natalie’s.
“Mr. Howard, Gracia, what a coincidence!” The main producer spotted Brian and
immediately released Natalie’s hand, moving respectfully toward the door.
Brian was silent, his cold stare locked on Natalie. To him, it seemed Natalie threw herself
at any man available. Was she that
desperate?
Natalie hadn’t expected to run into these two here. After a moment of hesitation, she
looked down to avoid Brian’s gaze, silently sitting back down and straightening her dress.

She had worn a midi skirt to the venue, but Rosie insisted the company’s policy required
artists to wear formal attire, so she had changed into a long gown. She should have
insisted on keeping her original outfit.
With her head bowed, Natalie could still feel Brian’s intense gaze, a fine layer of sweat
forming in her palms.
By the door, Gracia had stiffened her smile, while Brian remained silent, giving her no
acknowledgment.
“Brian isn’t feeling well today, so we’ll be leaving now,” Gracia said to the producer, her
voice still cheerful.
The pair had just reached the main entrance when Brian suddenly said in a low voice, “You
go ahead.”
“But you have an international flight tomorrow morning, you should go back and rest,”
Gracia hesitated, then cautiously wrapped her arm around Brian’s, cooing softly.
She knew why Brian wanted her to leave/first. It was because of Natalie.
