Spoiled By The CEO: Why The Wife Is Kinda Sweet? novel Chapter 270

Laura chuckled. “This sort of activity lasts for hours. From now on, it’s best to remember to eat before showing up. Otherwise, if the tabloids get ahold of you, it might end up as another black mark in your history.”

Saying that, she pointed at a few reporters not for in the distance clutching their cameras.

Natalia agreed, but didn’t think much of it.

Celebrities were people too. They got tired and hungry. What was wrong with eating?

Back when she was in the PR business, she hated those tabloids who made a big deal out of nothing. They could make peanuts into headline news.

To be sure, some celebrities needed a bit of exaggerated drama to boost their popularity, but if it was negative, most celebrities probably didn’t want that sort of publicity.

But she didn’t care.

After all, acting was just her passion right now. She liked it for the moment, but it didn’t mean she’d like it going forward. She’d go wherever she felt like going. Without a large goal she’d set for herself, she didn’t mind at all.

Seeing her carefree look, Laura smiled and mostly understood her meaning. “Then I’ll head over first! Oh, right. Mr. Crusoe is over there. Want to go greet him?”

Tim Crusoe?

Natalia’s eyes lit up.

Following the direction of Laura’s pointing finger, she saw Tim Crusoe surrounded by a large mob and hastily shook her head.

“Never mind, I’ll pass. You can go yourself!”

“All right, I’ll go, then.”

Laura left Natalia there to curl up on her chair and eat.

Even though she’d wanted to see what Tim Crusoe looked like in person, with that many people around, forget it!

She didn’t know what to say if she met him anyway, so might as well skip out on seeing him so she didn’t ruin the perfect image she had of her.

After a while, she’d finally eaten her fill.

Her stomach hurt a little, and she needed to go.

So she headed to the restroom alone.

Nathan had come as well tonight. They were supposed to have come together, but Natalia had been too tired lately and didn’t want to attend to any more people, so they’d parted ways.

Unexpectedly, after dealing with important figure after important figure, she was nowhere to be found when he came back. Only a few empty plates stood where she’d been staying, and he shook his head, bemused.

Relationships and connections were an important part of the entertainment business. Tonight might have looked like a charity dinner, but there were plenty of deals happening in the shadows!

With Natalia’s personality of not caring about anything, it was a mystery how she’d made it this far.

But, considering who she had at her back, Nathan relaxed.

So what if she didn’t like dealing with people? With that man supporting her, what kind of resources were out of her reach?

Considering that, Nathan stopped fretting and let her go.

In the restroom.

Natalia just got done relieving herself and came out, hearing a gaggle of girls in the corner discussing Tim Crusoe.

They were fans who’d blended their way in with their familial connections, all here to see Tim.

Because they hadn’t managed to get into the banquet hall, they waited around in the toilets.

Natalia had to chuckle.

She thought they’d probably be disappointed. By accident, she’d heard that Tim was supposed to fly elsewhere that night, so he was just here to make an appearance and was going to leave soon.

But she didn’t butt in and remind them. Done with her business, she left right away.

After sticking around for a while, she found it boring, so she texted Nathan about it and decided to leave first.

The driver was waiting for her outside.

Natalia walked out and suddenly heard a chorus of excited shrieks.

“Tim Crusoe is coming out!”

“Time! I love you!”

“Ahh-! It really is him!”

“…”

Countless screeches halted Natalia in her tracks as she beheld the man with brimming star power emerge from the doorway, escorted by a band of bodyguards.

He smiled at the screaming fans, which made them scream some more!

The fans flowed towards him in a tidal wave. Despite the bodyguards’ best efforts to stop them, they still tried to squeeze towards his car.

Tim Crusoe walked over to his car and didn’t rush to get on. Instead, he turned to command his bodyguards, “Go over there and watch out for accidents so that everyone can get home safe.”

The bodyguards nodded and turned to relay their orders to the rest of them.

Everyone started cheering again.

Oh em gee, their idol was concerned about them!!!!

Natalia took out her phone and hurriedly snapped a few photos.

Her car wasn’t far away from Tim’s; about five or six meters away, so she’d gotten a good, clear shot.

This was an excellent chance. She might not have been able to speak face to face with her idol, but at least she could take a high-definition photograph!

Just the right time to get back home and switch the photo she’d set as her desktop background.

At that moment, a wispy voice sounded behind her.

“Can you send me a copy of that picture, young lady?”

Natalia blinked, turned around, and saw a white-haired old lady standing there.

The old woman was in her sixties. She wore a dark red suit with classic-looking gold-rimmed glasses, and a gentle smile hung on her face.

Natalia hastily said, “Of course.”

Internally, she exclaimed how great it was to still chase after celebrities at this age! What a diehard fan!

With Tim Crusoe gone, Natalia turned around and said, “Here’s my Twitter account. I’ll send you the picture.”

The old woman beamed. “Sure.”

She took out her phone, sent her Twitter details, and the two friended each other. Natalia send her the two photos she’d just snapped.

Seeing that her Twitter tag was “@TimCrusoesBigBaby”, Natalia’s lips twitched.

Old people really knew how to play around these days!

The old woman received the photos and grew overjoyed, like a three-year-old with candy.

“Thank you, young lady.”

Natalia waved it off hastily. “No need for that, it was a simple thing.”

“You’re a star too, right, young lady!”

“Err… yes.” She smiled a little awkwardly.

“You’re so pretty. If my grandson’s wife was as pretty as you, that’d be great!”

Natalia was finding this old woman more and more interesting as she rambled on and laughed, “I’m sure your granddaughter-in-law is prettier than I am.”

“Don’t be so sure.” The old lady shook her head and her eyes suddenly gleamed. “What’s your name, young lady? What do you do? Act? Sing? I’ll follow you.”

“…”

Is it that easy to get into someone, old timer?!

But she didn’t have the heart to refuse. She told the old lady her name and let her follow her online.

The old woman smiled with satisfaction and said, “You’re such a nice person, young lady. I’m sure you’ll make a name for yourself.”

Natalia had to laugh. “As you say, ma’am.”

The woman strolled away in a slow pace.

Natalia didn’t linger. She got in her car, which rolled off.

At the same time, a middle-aged man led a group of frantic-looking bodyguards out of the avenue, searching with sharp-eyed expressions amongst the crowd.

When he finally saw the old woman tottering slowly towards their direction, the man’s face instantly lit up as he ran over to her.

“Mom! Where did you go? We’ve been worried sick, you know!”

“Why did you run off on your own, madam? We were so shocked when we turned around and didn’t see you there!”
