Spoiled By The CEO: Why The Wife Is Kinda Sweet? novel Chapter 375

Seeing that, Archie explained, “Felix Bissel, second son of Ein Bissel, and his only bastard son. Because he’s not accepted by the elders of the family, he spends most of his time overseas and it’s not uncommon for him to stay away from the country for up to three to five years at a time. He met you this one time he came back. Isn’t that quite the coincidence?”

Natalia shook again.

She was in a bit of a daze, and it took her a while to digest what Archie had just told her.

“You said… he’s a Bissel?”

Archie cocked an eyebrow. “Yes.”

Natalia clenched her knuckles.

Archie continued, “So what did he tell you last night?”

Natalia looked at him, lips moving without making a noise.

She didn’t know how to explain to Archie her relationship with Felix. She didn’t want to bring up those past days and memories, but she didn’t want to lie to him!

Natalia was struggling, while Archie knew her too well. Just from her eyes, he understood what was going through her mind.

“You knew each other from before?”

Natalia thought over it for a long while before nodding.

“Yes.”

“How?”

Natalia didn’t speak.

Not that she didn’t want to, but that she didn’t know how to.

Those memories were too chaotic. Even she wasn’t sure. If she spoke about it, it would only be more suspicious.

And there was a secret in them too…

Natalia remained silent. Archie waited for a while, his deep eyes slowly cooling.

“It’s all right. I respect your privacy. Any time you want to tell me, you can tell me then.”

As he spoke, he got up. His attitude wasn’t forceful and his bearing was as mild as always, but Natalia could still hear that he was a bit angry.

After Archie left, Natalia went to the office herself.

Star Entertainment released a statement representing her, claiming that it had only been a joke with a friend she’d met by coincidence, and definitely not cheating!

She was married now. Forget Archie, with news like this, it wasn’t good for her image.

Thankfully, it seemed like Felix had only wanted to warn her and didn’t mean to drive her into a corner, so the moment the statement came up, Felix’s account also released a statement claiming it was just a joke and not to take it seriously, and that they were good friends.

Felix’s account, of course, didn’t have too many fans, and not too many people followed him.

But with how hot this piece of news was, the moment he released the statement, a lot of people reposted it.

So the incident died down.

Afterwards, Natalia gave Felix a call and gave him a tongue-lashing over the phone.

Felix didn’t get mad and kept on laughing leisurely, sometimes even rebuking himself in her place.

Natalia couldn’t even lose her temper at him right.

Finally, the man said coldly through the phone, “Still remember what I taught you years ago? Be a good girl. Disobedience comes with a price. You don’t want everything you have now to be ruined, do you, little Seven?”

Natalia massaged her migraine and snarled, “What is it that you want?”

Felix chuckled dryly. “I wouldn’t dare tell the truth if you take that kind of time, would I?”

Floundering, Natalia gritted her teeth and forced her rage down as she softened her voice. “All right, then, cards on the table, what do you want?”

“I want you. Do you want me?”

“…”

Her expressions changed repeatedly. He was clearly just teasing her.

Finally, she growled, “Drop dead, Felix Bissel!”

Then she hung up.

…

Meanwhile.

In the cinema park of Eqitin, Laura got up early, changed into costume, and took her bag with her to the dressing room.

“Oh, Laura’s here!”

The makeup artist was familiar with her after a while of working together, and so, greeted her the moment she appeared.

Laura nodded, then passed a small gift box over from her bag.

“I bought this a few days ago after going to a show overseas. It’s not worth much, so I hope you won’t mind.”

The makeup artist hurriedly received it, eyes gleaming.

“I won’t mind, of course. Every time you leave the country for an event or to walk the red carpet, you always bring back gifts. None of the others do that.”

Laura smiled and didn’t say anything, turning around to hand off her gifts to the others and having them split them among themselves.

After settling all that, only then did Laura sit down to do her makeup.

Her skin was good, saving her the trouble of doing her foundation. She got the makeup done quick, in less that half an hour.

Outside, the script supervisor had her go out to stand at her post, so she went out.

At that moment, a young woman walked in from outside.

“Miss Raine.”

“Miss Raine, you’re here.”

Everyone rose to greet her respectfully. The newcomer was the female lead of the show, the so-called genius actress who’d received three awards last year, prized by countless top-end directors within and without the country, the latest queen of the silver screen – Josephine Raine.

Josephine wasn’t old, at barely twenty years old. But she was clever and talented, blazing a path the moment she stepped foot into the industry. In just three films, she’d taken three awards, and she was great in front of the camera. Because of that, she was one of the few actresses in the business who was both acclaimed and drew in views.

This show was a large-production period drama. Despite it being a period drama, the script itself was a hard piece, with the director being a famous director she knew well.

So even a strict movie buff like Josephine, who’d stated that she only did film and never bothered with the small screen, took the show as an exception.

Since it was an exception, the cast naturally put her up on a pedestal, with nobody daring to offend her.

Right now, Josephine was probably tired from lack of sleep as she sat in place, yawning.

The makeup artist usually responsible for her walked over, smiling, “Are you doing the injury scene today?”

Josephine nodded mildly. “Yeah.”

To the side, someone boldened up and said, “Miss Raine, when Laura came back today, she gave us all gifts. She gave you one too. The pink one on the table is yours.”

Josephine glanced at it coldly, then opened the box. There was a hanging decoration inside of an iron tower.

She smiled an extremely shallow smile and just left it there without commenting on it. There was a bit of disdain in her brow.

At that moment, another woman walked in.

The woman’s name was Sally. She was a side character in the show. Her family was rich but her acting wasn’t good at all. She’d only bought her way into the cast.

Because of her family conditions, she was quite cocky and arrogant. Seeing Josephine, though, she did greet her politely.

Hearing that there were gifts, then looking towards the gift box on the table, she snickered.

“Hey, whose gift was this?”
