Chapter 15 What are you up to again?
“I’m sorry! …….. I forgot my breakfast,” Natalie explained, pointing to another plate of sopas on the table.
A delicate film had formed on the surface as the soup cooled, concraling the escaping steam. Yet, once disturbed, the soup beneath maintained its warmth.
“Oliver, didn’t you find my cooking……repulsive?” Natalie glanced at Oliver and muttered with a hint of discontent.
If becoming a supermodel was her dream, then culinary delights were her passion. She delighted in bringing joy to others through her delicious creations.
However, Oliver constantly found fault with her dishes, only to secretly devour them when she wasn’t looking!
Oliver regarded Natalie with an expressionless face, his handsome features carrying an air of aloofness as if his actions were entirely commonplace,
“Mrs. Windsor, it is shameful to waste food, so Mr. Windsor reluctantly eats it,” Liam explained, standing beside Oliver.
It had been some time since Oliver exhibited such an appetite, and Liam thought that Natalie was quite impressive indeed.
How could he say that! Natalie suddenly felt that Liam might not be as kind and approachable as he appeared.
to you have any objections? Oliver gazed at her icily.
“Iki you
“Nope!” Natalie hastily grabbed her breakfast and said, “III have breakfast upstairs.”
Retreating to her room, she let out a sigh of relief and happily ate her breakfast.
With that, she recalled Oliver’s initial response to the sopes. was quite strange.
Why did it seem like he was almost eager for it?
Natalie couldnt figure it out, and suddenly, flashbacks from the previous night flickered through her mind.
Seated on Oliver’s lap, she felt the strength of his thighs beneath her, their skin nearly touching through the thin barrier of clothing. Such proximity and shared warmth. It was utterly maddening!
Reflecting on her desperate ploy from the previous night, she couldn’t help but reconsider.
Oliver must despise her intensely, yet he hadn’t killed her outright. It seemed like a stroke of divine intervention!
After finishing her breakfast, Natalie took her plate downstairs and found that Oliver was absent. She hurried to the kitchen, cleaned her dish, and placed it back in
the sterilizer
Before long, Natalie received a call from Sienna as anticipated.
As soon as the call connected, Sienna unleashed a barrage of insults, hurling vile names at Natalie-“shut,” “bitch,” “a pretentious fraud, along with menacing threats.
Like III kill you one day.”
Natalie held the phone away from her ear. Sensing that Sienna had said her piece, she replied calmly, “Sienna, have you finished? Once you are, I have something to
“If you don’t conless everything today, Ell make sure you regret it!” Sienna bellowed.
After Natalie’s narrow escape last night, Sienna was beaten and scolded by Brian, losing all dignity in front of the prostitutes and subordinates.
“I wish to terminute the contract.”
“What?” Sienna laughed derisively. “Natalie, who do you think you are? Can you afford the five million penalty fee? The Watson family sold you. They won’t give you
“I won’t pay the penalty fee, but I wanna terminate the contract,” Natalie stated calmly. “Sienna, when I returned to the company last night, I happened to see you and Mr. Zayn from the finance team getting intimate in the office. Your clothes were barely covering you, and it was incredibly provocative. I wonder how your husband would react if he found out about this!

Siennas husband was a hot tempered company CEO. If he ever discovered Sienna’s infidelity, he would undoubtedly beat her and cast her out.
“Natalie, how dare you threaten me?”
Even through the phone, Natalie could sense Sienna’s intense desire to kill her. Unfazed, the continued, “I’ve sent an audio clip to your email. Take a listen.”
Sienna, with an expression of deep embarrassment, opened her email and began to listen to the conversation that started playing
[How much did you give Siennal
One million or so! Honestly, you’re not the first woman Sienna has given to me.]
“Sienna, though our industry has its tacit norms, there are boundaries we shouldn’t cross.”
“Imagine if I were to publicize this audio clip. Would that persuade you to reconsider your path? Facing potential expulsion by your husband and likely dismissal from your position might just necessitate a career shift. Maybe it’s time to reevaluate your choices.”
“Natalie! You wouldn’t dare post it! What is it that you want from me?‘ Sienna was fraught with panic, astonished by Natalie’s sudden display of shrewdness after being under her thumb for six months.
“My dad has vested you with full control over my affairs, including the power to execute a contract termination,” Natalie declared. “End our contract, and the events of today will be kept confidential.”
Very well! I’ll terminate the contract!”
If Sienna terminate Natalie’s contract, she would not only be burdened with the hefty five–million–dollar but also risk incurring the fury of CEO Robert.
But Sienna had no choice.
She silently swore to herself that she would, at some point, eliminate this troublesome girl from her life!
To outmaneuver Sienna’s potential machinations, Natalie opted not to meet her in person. Instead, she requested that the termination contract be mailed directly to
It wasn’t until Natalie held the termination contract, adorned with Sienna’s handwritten signature and the embossed seal of G Entertainment, that reality truly
dawned on her.
Her heart Buttered with elation, yet she restrained herself from leaping around the room in pure joy.
From that moment forward, she was no longer bound by the company’s constraints and exploitation. She was free to pursue her dreams with fervor, earn money through her own endeavors, and support her younger brother independently.
Natalie snapped a photo of the termination contract and shared it with her best friend, Jane Watkina.
Jane came from the prestigious Watkins family in Paykston. However, their fortune dwindled overnight, plunging them into destitution, Jane’s father met a tragic end, while her brother suffered severe injuries and sought treatment in Moatia.
Jane, who was once the queen bee of Paykston’s social scene, fell from grace and found herself barred from traveling abroad. Despite numerous men vying for her affection, surprisingly, none managed to win her heart.
Jane quickly replied: Great! What’s your next move?)
Natalie: (The Top Avenue is next month. I’ll take on some jobs to earn money in the meantime, and then I’ll leave the Watson family with Luc
Jane: Count me in to help |
Shortly afterward, lane send a link to Natalie. I was an advertisement for a car model recruitment event.
This large–scale car show was the most anticipated event in the second half of the year in the country. The main sponsor was the Risingking Group, and the remuneration was penerbIL.
However, there was a catch.

Chapter 15 What are you up to again?
Car show models typically donned revealing attire, and other than on the runway, Natalie rarely accepted such exposure. But she needed money now.
She would simply opt for conservative outfits.
Natalie swiftly completed the online registration and sent a kiss emoji to Jane: [Thank you, Jane
lane: That’s all right. We’re in this together.]
The unwavering support and care from Natalie’s friends filled her once desolate soul with warmth. These lovely and wonderful people were the sunshine and
motration in her life!
With renewed hope, she practiced even harder.
Every morning at six, Natalie would wake up and go for a jor. After her run, she’d find a cozy nook to stretch and practice her runway struts. Under the warm spray of her shower, she would stand in front of the fogged–up mirror, eyes ablaze with determination, rehearsing pose after pose.
Oliver, having wrapped up
ed up his own moming
workout, couldn’t help but notice that familiar figure perched in the corner of his regular route once again.
Natalie had one leg casually draped over the railing, the other firmly planted on the ground below. Her torso softly inclined, as if hugging the leg resting on the rail.
With her long, lean, perfectly straight limbs and slender waist, she was an irresistible sight to behold for anyone passing by
“What are you up to again?”
