    Chapter 471 Who Is The Dirtier One


    Natalie affirmed that with a smile and a nod.


    “I like her, but I’ve no ns to confess my feelings for her at the moment. Having been in the business


    for so many years, I know my own emotional boundaries. But that may not be the case for her.”


    Lucas took a sip of alcohol before he continued, “This is her first production, so I’m concerned whether


    her fondness for me could be an extension of the feelings she developed whilst in her role. That’s why


    I’m thinking about waiting for another half a year before I approach her.”


    Lucas’ thoughtfulness toward Wendy set Natalie’s mind at ease.


    “I was right about you, Lucas.”


    “You’ve always had a good eye for people, Ms. Nichols.” Lucas set down his ss and shifted his gaze


    onto her. “Wendy’s a very talented actress, making it only a matter of time before she establishes herself


    in the industry.”


    “Hopefully so.”


    After Natalie finished the ss she had on hand, she, too, got up to go to the restroom.


    As she was passing by another private room, she heard a man’sscivious words emanating from the


    inside. That, and Wendy’s resistant voice.


    “I can’t drink anymore! Drinking too much will cause me to develop rashes!”


    “Really? You’d think starring in the first production in your career makes you too good for everybody else,


    Wendy Xander? You should be ttered that Mr. Zygmunt here thought enough of your looks to invite


    you over for a few drinks, so don’t try to push your luck!”


    “I can’t! Let go of me! I want to leave!”


    “What’s this now? Acting all pure and innocent? Who’d believe that a newbie like you could snag a


    starring role all without having attended a single lesson in acting, and has managed to do so while also


    keeping her nose clean? I bet you must have slept with more than your fair number of wealthy investors


    along the way, haven’t you? Keep uspany tonight, and we’ll guarantee that you’ll be the lead actress


    in your next production as well!”


    “I don’t want to! Let me go!”


    These people.. How dare they bully Wendy? They’re really asking for it!


    Worried about causing coteral damage, Natalie smiled apologetically at a man in a white sweater who


    was passing by. “Sorry, mister. Please steer clear.”


    This was met by Bastien Scholl’s frown, but he duly stepped back as requested.


    “Thanks.”


    With her lips lifted into a snarl, Natalie aimed a devastating kick right for the private room’s door which


    crashed onto the floor with a resounding thump.


    The three men inside turned in the direction of the doorway and regarded Natalie in sheer disbelief.


    Natalie stepped inside with her right foot smarting but apart from a little unnaturalness about her gait,


    there was nothing on her face that might give her away.


    When she walked inside, she saw that Wendy’s attire had been left disheveled by those louts, and there


    were even visible stains left behind by the alcohol that was spilled on it.


    Natalie’s eyes screamed murder at the sight before her.

    The man at their lead was Gerik Zygmunt. With his grizzled-maned and gold-rimmed spectacles, he was


    the archetype of the respectable hypocrite.


    “Run along, missy. Thisdy is with us! If you’re wise enough, you’d know to mind your own business!”


    As nervous as Gerik was, he tried to project otherwise through his mannerisms.


    “I’m not with them!” Wendy shook her head in fervent protest.


    “Don’t assume that she isn’t just because she says so, because inwardly, she’s a real hussy! She wants


    to be a star so badly that she’s trying to work us to win a part!” The boys beside Gerik echoed his


    sentiments. “All female celebrities are like this. They’re dirty as heck!”


    Natalie’s frigid gaze just went from cold to sub-zero.


    Though her skills might be seriously challenged being up against three grown men, she was not going to


    back down from anyone who tries to push her around.


    The corner of her lips lifted into a wonderful smirk while she pulled a bottle off the wine rack and


    smashed it to bits. Then, she held the remnant of the broken bottle by the neck against Gerik’s throat.


    “Now tell me, who’s the dirtier one?”


    Blood started to creep down steadily with the icy cold edge pressed up against his neck.


    Gerik waspletely shaken by this woman’s unexpected aggression, so much so that his knees went


    jelly. “That’s dangerous, missy. Y-You should calm down!”


    “Let me repeat that for you. Who’s the dirtier one?” A cold glint shed across Natalie’s eyes.
