Echoes Of a Forsaken Heart

Chapter 23
Natalia stifled her anger and returned to the studio, apologizing profusely to the crew before heading back to the company. She knew Hamilton had deliberately kept her in the dark the night before. But for the life of her, she couldn’t figure out what she had done to tick him off this
time.
After settling into her office for a bit, Hamilton’s call came through. “Come up and fix me a cup of coffee.”
“Sorry, Mr. Fowler, I need to reschedule the studio shoot.”
“And?”
“I don’t have time right now. Maybe someone else can make your coffee.” Natalia hung up without another word. After the call, she felt a surge of rebellious pride–she had just hung up on Hamilton Fowler.
But damn the consequences, she really didn’t want to see him right now. Did he actually enjoy playing these games?
Natalia was still seething. The man never seemed to lose. Now she thought about it; it was probably because she had given the food she had made for him to the stray animals.
But what was she supposed to do? Leave it out for him to eat after coming back from dining with Eveleen? As if he would care for her simple home cooking after Eveleen’s gourmet meals?
Soon after, the intercom buzzed, and Tess, her assistant, cautiously knocked on her door.
“Boss, Mr. Fowler wants to see you.”
Tess was well aware of the stunt pulled on Natalia today. Everyone at the studio had a pretty good idea of what was happening. It seemed to be another round in the ongoing rivalry between two women. And once again, Natalia seemed to have lost.
Eveleen, the untouchable queen bee, could make Natalia crumble without even showing up. Even Tess felt it was unfair. But with Hamilton high on his throne, if he sided with Eveleen, no
one dared speak up.
Natalia slumped in her chair, reluctant to move. But she knew if she didn’t, someone else would
catch the heat.
Hamilton was adept at manipulation. He always knew what she valued. If she disobeyed, it would be Tess or the executive secretary who would suffer.
In his world, she had no choice but to play along.
“I got it.”
Pushing down her frustration, Natalia gathered her composure and headed upstairs.
As she approached the door, she heard a loud bang from inside, and her steps halted abruptly.
