Spoiled By The CEO: Why The Wife Is Kinda Sweet? novel Chapter 181

But just at that moment, a silver light flashed in the shadows.

The camera clicked away for several times and soon after that someone dialed the phone.

“I got it. I’m sending it to you now. Better keep your promise.”

...

Since they were shooting tomorrow, the dinner didn’t go on too late and ended before nine.

Later, everyone went back to their rooms to have a rest.

The second Natalia stepped into her room, she got a call from Elsa.

She left all the affairs of Star Entertainment to Elsa to because she couldn’t be around lately.

After all, the company didn’t have many artists currently. If something happened to them, Laura definitely would call her. As for the others, who had just started their careers, Elsa was experienced enough to handle them herself.

Natalia was quite surprised at the call, thinking what might go wrong in the company. As soon as she answered, Elsa spoke briskly, “Natalia, check out the social media, you’ve become a trending topic.”

Natalia froze.

“What’s happening?”

“I’m not sure. I saw that a minute ago, something happened on the set. Just look for yourself.”

Natalia said OK and did what Elsa told her to do, only to find the hashtag #JessicaNataliaPeaceAtLast was trending.

She clicked into that topic and a video came up.

It was a clip of Jessica’s interview at the launch party today.

At that moment, she was standing aside and did not say a word. Plus, they were both standing in front of the red signature wall and from the camera’s perspective they seemed pretty close.

Only by watching this misleading video, it was easy to think that these two had broken the ice and even made up.

Natalia sneered.

“Is that what you really want, Jessica? Use me to whitewash yourself?”

Natalia was silent for a long time. Elsa didn’t know if she had seen that and asked anxiously, “Natalia, what’s going on? Before filming, you told me to inform you immediately if there is any news about Jessica. But now the first one is about you two together... Did you really reconcile?”

“No,” said Natalia, indifferently.

“So this video...”

“She was just putting on a show in front of those reporters.”

While talking, she logged out of the social media and then took off her coat.

“Let this topic keep trending. Leave it alone.”

“What?” Elsa was kind of shocked, “but she’s clearly using you to shake off her bad reputation. Are you really gonna ignore that?”

“Of course not,” Natalia grinned, “I have my plan. What goes around comes around. Relax! Don’t worry about that.”

Only then did Elsa feel slightly relieved.

“Alright then, it’s getting late. Have some rest.”

“Ok.”

Natalia hung up and talked to Archie on the phone for a while. Then she went to bed.

As for Jessica, she was in a good mood looking through the trending topics.

She turned to Julia, who was sitting on a couch next to her, and said,” I told you that bitch Natalia is no match for me. See, I used her and she can do nothing about it.”

Julia had seen that topic and she kept nodding.

“You’ve done pretty well on that move. Now your new series has just begun filming. Once that news gets out, everyone will think that you two have reconciled. And Natalia will have to consider Vicente and the harmony of the whole crew. There is no possibility that she will ever make a public denial because that will certainly have a bad influence on the crew’s reputation. Therefore, no matter how angry she is, she has to remain silent.”

Jessica smiled grimly, “It’s just the beginning! Julia, just wait and see. There will come a day when she will finally realize who is the loser!”

Julia did not answer. Her eyes glinted and after a while she suddenly asked, “I haven’t seen Shawn lately. What’s wrong?”

When she heard this, her face change at once. She pounded the table bitterly and said, “Don’t even mention it. I have no idea what is on his mind recently and he has been obsessed with fencing. He is either working or locking himself in his fencing room. I can barely see him these days, not to mention he coming to see me.”

Hearing that, Julia frowned, “How come? I thought he weren’t interested in that sort of things before.”

Jessica rolled her eyes, “Who knows?”

Julia hesitated a little and said, “Have you thought he probably...”

Jessica saw the look on her face and instantly knew what she meant.

The expression on her face changed subtly. Then she shook her head and answered, “I don’t think so. Though I can’t be with him right now, I have bribed some of the people that work for him. I’ve never heard that he contacts with anyone. And even though we are not as close as we were before, I’m pretty sure he still has feelings for me.”

Julia was relieved to hear that, “Good. At this point, the relationship of you two must not go wrong or else you’ll be doomed. So long as you are the future Mrs. Miller, you’ll always have a solid support no matter what situation you’re in.”

Jessica nodded. She rolled her eyes and sneered, “Solid support? There may be more support than the Miller family soon.”

Julia paused for a moment because she didn’t quite understand her.

But apparently, she didn't want to explain to her and started finding excuses to chase her away thinking it was late already.

“Never mind. It’s late now and I need some sleep. You too should go back and have some rest.”

Julia finally got out of the room since she felt there was nothing more for her to say.

On the next day, the shooting officially began.

Natalia was on the set very early because she and Mac had a scene to shoot in the morning.

The makeup, hairstyle and clothing took them two hours.

The shooting actually began at half past nine

Although it was the first time for Natalia to try acting, she had known how it worked from her experience with her own artists in the past years.

So, she was not that nervous. But Mac had never taken part in a period drama so the way he delivered his lines was stiff, which led to a few NGs on the scene.

Vicente was not a man of good temper. After several NGs, he started swearing.

Mac felt extremely embarrassed and Natalia gave him a little pep talk in a whisper, “Come on! You can nail it! Deliver the lines in your head first. We can start after you get them right.”

Mac gave her a grateful look and did a much better job during the next takes.

When Jessica arrived, she saw Mac was playing opposite Natalia. After the hero and heroine met for the first time, Natalia was about to slap Mac in his face. Then Mac should grab her hands and they rolled on the ground.
