From Divorce To Dominance (Natalie Xavier)

Chapter 6

As soon as Natalie finished speaking, the comment section went wild.

[Is she serious?]

[What's her deal?]

[Ms. Xavier? Who does she think she is, talking back to Vivian like that?]

[I was digging her look, but now she's just coming off rude. Unfollow!] [Curious question, am I the only one finding her attitude kinda adorable?]

The negativity rolled in, but on the set of the show, Vivian suddenly clapped a hand over her mouth, her eyes twinkling as she regarded Natalie. "Oh my gosh, guys! This woman's got guts, and I love it. Great going, Ms. Xavier! You've earned my attention!"

Vivian's climb to stardom wasn't just because Darren bankrolled her; she had the chops too. She was a people person, quick-witted, and had a knack for comedy, making her a hit on variety shows. With her at the helm, even the trickiest situations felt smooth The Sweet Love director had second thoughts about Vivian's high price tag, but after witnessing their on-screen chemistry, he knew it was money well spent.

Viewers and online fans showered Vivian's reaction with praise.

[Of course, my queen Vivian is the best! Look at how she stays cool and clever-no wonder she's a star! Unlike some people! Bye!]

[That's the gap in emotional IQ; one's on top of Everest, the other's at the bottom of the Marianas Trench!]

[You guys are slaying! I'm officially a die-hard fan of Vivian!]

[Natalie's EQ is way low; what's she even doing on this show?]

The camera honed in on Natalie, ready to capture her authentic response. To everyone's shock, she grinned slyly and said, "Thanks for the love! So, how about you ditch Mr. Luther and join me?" [WTF!]
