"You..."
Natalie hung up the phone, gritting her teeth and thinking: what kind of expression would Hailey have when she found out how handsome Oliver was?
It would be quite a spectacle!
However, Natalie had already witnessed how eccentric Oliver's temper could be.
She didn't know why Oliver agreed to marry her, but he didn’t like her. She should avoid provoking her "husband" as much as possible in the future.
It would be best if he grew tired of her soon and divorced her!
That night, Natalie received a call from her agent Sienna, asking her to come to the company tomorrow as there was work for her.
This was the first time her agent had actively contacted her about work in the past six months."Oliver, I told you last night that I am a model. They want me at the agency tomorrow. Can I go?"
When Natalie found Oliver, he was sitting lazily on the couch, reading a financial magazine with an air of luxury.
"I promise not to disclose any information about you. Really!" Natalie was afraid that he would refuse, so she immediately raised her hand to swear.
She didn't want to be trapped in this estate for the rest of her life.
She had dreams of being a supermodel, she wanted to go out and work.
She had a younger brother to take care of, she needed to earn money.
Oliver's gaze coincidentally met Natalie's watery doe eyes, filled with eagerness and plea, soft and obedient.
He heard himself blurting out two words involuntarily, "You can."
...
Natalie's signed agency was G Entertainment, and the company's boss was Natalie's father, Robert.
Natalie went directly to her agent Sienna's office, but to her surprise, there was another woman inside.
The woman who made her feel disgusted just looking at her.
"Natalie, it's been a while!" Hailey elegantly leaned back on the couch; her smile tinged with sarcasm. She was wearing a red Versace suit, her delicate makeup making her face even more radiant.
Seeing her smile, Natalie was reminded of the unsightly scenes from half a month ago.
She didn't even want to spare her a glance. Natalie turned to Sienna and asked, "Sienna, what's the job?"
"Natalie, you haven't walked on the runway for a long time, right? Tonight, All Night Manor has a night show. Get ready," Sienna said with a friendly smile.
"Sienna, All Night Manor is a nightclub!" Natalie exclaimed in shock. They wanted her to do a show there?!
All Night Manor was a famous nightclub in Novarisia, a luxurious venue with high-end clientele. It was a favorite gathering place for the wealthy and decadent youth of Paykston, and a place filled with countless shady dealings.
"So, what if it's a nightclub? It's also the LV in nightclubs!" Sienna urged with a smile.
"Natalie, many important figures will be coming tonight, including Mr. Evans from 'Top Avenue.' This is a great opportunity!"
Hailey played with the tips of her hair, her beautiful eyes slightly raised, looking contemptuously and mockingly at Natalie.
"Sienna, will she be going to this event tonight?" Natalie pointed towards Hailey.
Sienna brought two artists with her, one being Natalie and the other being Hailey.
"Hailey is currently a popular model and the company's favorite. How could she possibly go to such an event! You're just a mediocre, unknown model. Do you really think you can compare to Hailey?"
Sienna lost her patience, no longer feigning a smile. "Natalie, don't mess things up! Don't forget, you signed a contract with the company. If you don't obey, you'll have to pay a five million penalty!"
A contract?
Last year, Natalie made a name for herself in the modeling industry through her own efforts, and Robert forcefully signed her into the G Entertainment. What was the result?
G Entertainment gave all the resources that were originally hers to Hailey. Within a year, Hailey went from being unknown to becoming a somewhat famous new third-tier model. She even won the award for "Top Ten New Star Models in the Country" last year.
As for herself, she was nearly put on the shelf and now became an insignificant eighteenth-tier wild model.
Natalie finally understood what was going on. The company lied about letting her walk the runway, but it was true that they wanted her to sacrifice her body to please the person in charge of "Top Avenue." After the runway show, there might even be a chance she would have to sleep with someone!
Hailey also made it to the finals of "Top Avenue," but her skills weren't enough. If she wanted to make it into the top three, she would have to please the production team through the back door.
"Natalie, I'm thirsty. Can you make me a cup of hot coffee?" Hailey suddenly said.
"Me?" Natalie pointed at herself in disbelief.
"Natalie, if not you, then who should go?" Sienna knew that Hailey was the boss's precious daughter, while Natalie was an unprivileged illegitimate child. Therefore, Sienna tried to flatter Hailey.
Sienna was still her agent, and Natalie didn't want to clash with her over such a trivial matter. She made the coffee and handed it to Hailey. "Here's your coffee."
Hailey looked up and smiled, giving Natalie a bad feeling.
The next moment, the coffee was spilled onto Natalie by Hailey, covering her hands and staining her white shirt with brown coffee stains.
"Oops!" Hailey exclaimed in concern. "Natalie, are you okay? Did it burn you?"
"Hailey, are you burnt?" Sienna confirmed that all the coffee had spilled on Natalie and let out a sigh of relief.
"Natalie, you can't even pour coffee properly. You're clumsy! Hurry up and make another cup for Hailey!"
Natalie lowered her eyes and mockingly curled her lips. This stepsister was always good at pretending to be gentle and kind, like a fragile white lotus.
Fortunately, she knew that Hailey wouldn't let her off easily. She intentionally added ice cubes to the hot coffee so that the water poured out wouldn't scald her. Hailey, however, still felt triumphant, thinking that she had dealt with Natalie.
When Natalie returned with the second cup of coffee, Sienna had already left the office.
"Hailey, aren't you afraid that I might please Mr. Evans and the investors? The championship is within my grasp, right?" After all this, Natalie no longer considered Hailey as her sister.
Natalie had great talent, being 1.76 meters tall with a beautifully proportioned figure. She gained some popularity last year after walking a small T stage.
Hailey herself was 1.75 meters tall, but she was envious of Natalie's attractive bones! She removed the disguise of being gentle and elegant, and her gaze towards Natalie was unabashedly filled with jealousy. However, she quickly laughed it off.
"Natalie, you”
However, I will not let you off the hook so easily.
Oliver furrowed his brows, looking at the spaghetti in the thermos.But in his mind, he pictured the seafood soup Natalie used to make.Susan's spaghetti was simple and hadn't changed over the years.Natalie, on the other hand, would carefully consider the pairing and nutritional aspects when cooking and use more diverse ingredients."I'll eat it later," Oliver said.Susan's eyes lit up with joy, and she sweetly smiled at Oliver. "As long as you want to eat it, I can make it for you from now on!"Oliver's brow twitched imperceptibly upon hearing "from now on", feeling an inexplicable resistance, and Natalie crossed his mind."Susan, I called you here to ask about this. What's going on?" Oliver took out his phone, displaying the news article about him and Susan."I... I just came back to the country and needed some attention and publicity, so... I'm sorry, I didn't know the netizens would speculate like this." Susan subconsciously glanced at Oliver. Although he often appeared expressio
"Because Zoey is so good at makeup, and there's only Jacob in our group, how could I lend you makeup." Jane's smile is mischievous, as if it were a joke, making people feel no disgust, "You have Zoey's makeup technology, we use cosmetics to make up for Jacob's poor aesthetic, just to even out the odds!"Zoey chuckled, thinking that Jane, the former top socialite, was indeed not bragging. She managed to manipulate people without offending anyone unrelated, hitting the target precisely."Jane, aren't you going to scold me to death?" Jacob exclaimed in anger.His hands trembled as he applied blush on Natalie's cheeks. Having never done makeup for a woman before, he was already nervous, and then there was a woman next to him who kept making sarcastic remarks.Jane laughed, "You won't die, but you might feel happier."Lily looked at Natalie, hoping she would speak up and exchange props with her, but Natalie closed her eyes and allowed Jacob to do her makeup as if she hadn't heard anything.
"Lily!" Sharon frowned and reprimanded her.Lily pretended to suddenly understand, "Ah! I'm sorry, did I say something wrong?"Zoey looked at these two people and a hint of mockery flashed in her eyes. She had seen through the tricks of these young people as if watching a show.Jane sneered at Lily and her lips moved slightly as she quietly asked Natalie, "Natalie, do you think I should throw this lunch in her face?"Natalie calmly held Jane's wrist and calmed her down.It wouldn't be good for Jane's reputation if she were to have conflict with Lily in front of so many people.Instead, Natalie smiled and said, "Why do you care about what I do with my husband? Are you interested in my husband? Whether or not I cook for him, isn't it my freedom to decide?" If Natalie's husband were an ordinary person, it would be fine, but unfortunately, he's Oliver. If she speaks carelessly, she could easily be labeled as someone who harbors ill intentions towards him, becoming the laughingstock and g
Jacob was shocked, his captivating fox eyes widened, "You...""Jane won the National Junior Amateur Shooting gold medal prize in high school. Haven't you heard of it?" Natalie said as she picked up the note to read it.Jacob was still stunned and thought, "I've only heard that Jane used to fight and go to bars. Who knew this girl would also play with guns? Is this a joke?""Both fighting and shooting? What's the point of being reincarnated as a woman?" Jacob couldn't help but comment."Just to make you feel ashamed. A man who wasted three bullets!" Jane laughed, her beauty extraordinary.Look down on my best friend? I'll curse you until you question your life!Natalie spread out the notes and said, "There are seven words."NPC Reminder: "Not every clue is a valid one."Jacob had an expression of "what the hell."What's the point of a clue if it's invalid?!The directing team loves this kind of teasing plotlines."How can we tell what this
Although the online photos didn't reveal Oliver's face or provide any indication of who he was, Natalie recognized him at first glance. It was the man she had once shared a bed with.He was the man who said he had work that night when she called."Natalie, don't overthink it. Maybe that's not Oliver? You can call him and ask." Jane advised, though she was already cursing Oliver inwardly."That person is Oliver." Natalie lowered her gaze and sneered. She recognized the cufflink he was wearing, the one she had given him.Not only that cufflink, but almost everyone in Paykston's upper circles knew that Mr. Windsor's most commonly used car was a top-of-the-line Rolls-Royce Phantom, with a black body and subtle luxury, bearing the license plate "7".And the car that was exposed online met all the requirements for Oliver's vehicle!"Take your positions, we're about to start!" The director's team urged.Lily touched up her makeup and walked over with a smile. "N
When Natalie finished her class and arrived at the recording site, most of the other guests had already arrived. The area was cordoned off, and there were many onlookers standing outside the designated area, including students from other universities who had rushed over after hearing the news.Natalie spotted someone in one of the guest's seats from a distance, her gaze flickered and then she smiled with joy, "Jane!"Jane stood up and embraced Natalie as she ran towards her.The surrounding students whispered to each other:"Natalie is also a guest?""Natalie's beside Jane? I can't believe it!""Who is that person? Such a strong presence!" "You don't know Jane? The former top socialite was not boasting." "Because birds of a feather flock together, beautiful people naturally become best friends with other beautiful people, right?" "Jane, why did you agree to be on a variety show?" Natalie asked, puzzled. Jane's personality was clearly not s
