From Divorce To Dominance (Natalie Xavier)

Chapter 13

"Come on, check her tweet!" both Oscar and Bobby hollered together. Every move Natalie made had millions glued to their screens. They rushed to the office computer, dying to see what she'd posted.

Natalie had retweeted the big brands' posts with just "Read it" tagged on-cool as a cucumber, showing her confidence without even trying. Her laid-back reply got her fans all hyped up.

[Nat's got the power! Is this what it means to be rich and classy?)

[Nat's stunning-chill and in control. I'm so into her.]

[Let's guard our Nat! Haters can't stand the rich, so they make up stories. I'm over them.]

[Like attracts like-let the haters be bitter. Nat's still rolling in it.]

[Um, am I the only one who thinks she's making a big deal out of nothing? Rich folks usually keep it cool, right?]

[Yeah, right! You're the only one who thinks that! Should rich folks just sit back and take it? You don't know rich people at all.]

[If I had Nat's cash, I'd wear it on my sleeve! I'd be even more out there.]

The comments section blew up, with thousands of posts in minutes. Just when folks thought the drama was dying down, Natalie dropped another bomb on Twitter.

[Queen Natalie: @Keaton, no fame after ten years? Maybe you should check your attitude?]

Natalie didn't mind if others wanted to use her for fame; that was how it works. But Keaton was different-he was making fun of her while trying to get noticed, and that bugged her.
