Chapter 24

Suddenly, Natalia found herself momentarily at a loss for words. She forced a stiff smile, and after what felt like an eternity, she managed to respond, “Would you mind telling Mr. Fowler to pass a message to Ms. Schafer for me? If she’s feeling better, I’d appreciate a firm time for our next shoot so I can make the necessary arrangements.”

Her message was delivered; Natalia didn’t linger a second longer and swiftly turned to leave.

At the CEO’s office.

Eveleen peered into Hamilton’s office with a look of utter distaste.

“Your office decor is just too boring, all black, white, and gray. It’s hideous.”

Hamilton was perusing a contract, and at her comment, the corner of his mouth twitched slightly. “Well, it’s not like you use it. Why do you care if it’s hideous or not?”

Eveleen bristled instantly. “This is your office. How can it not concern me?”

Hamilton glanced up at her, a light chuckle escaping him. “Why are you still as bossy as you were back in the day?”

Eveleen moved closer with a playful smile. “Don’t you like it?”

Ignoring her question, Hamilton pointed to a script on his desk

“I’ve looked over the script you mentioned and had some experts analyze it. It’s not right for your style. I advise against wasting time on it. You’d be better off focusing on the endorsement deal you’ve got. If you’re committed to this endorsement, then cooperate professionally. If you’re really not up for it, we can always find someone else.”

“Who said I’m not up for it?” Eveleen glared at him.

Hamilton raised an eyebrow. “I thought you were reluctant, pretending to be sick and then making a point of showing up at the office. What is this, a demonstration?”

His words struck a nerve, and Eveleen’s annoyance flared. “I was genuinely feeling unwell!”

Hamilton gave her a look but said nothing more.

Pushing the script towards him, Eveleen challenged, “Aren’t you going to back me up?”
