    Chapter 70


    Madelyn hadn’t expected to bump into Natalie in this ce. A flicker of surprise crossed her face as


    their eyes met.


    “I’m gonna head out,” Natalie said to Madelyn, with no desire to question her unexpected presence.


    She whispered to Brian and hurried away without looking back.


    It was only when Brian let go that Natalie realized her back was soaked with cold sweat. The chill of the


    From behind, the conversation between Madelyn and Brian was faint but audible.


    “Been waiting long?” Madelyn asked Brian.


    “Not really.” Brian responded coolly.


    They were near a hotel. It seemed Brian had made a special trip to pick up Madelyn.


    Natalie pressed her lips tightly together, quickening her pace, and soon vanished around the


    corner.


    “What’s her deal?” Madelyn asked, following Brian’s gaze toward the ce where Natalie had


    disappeared.


    “It’s nothing.” Brian replied, furrowing his brow slightly in irritation.


    Madelyn had imed to be tied up at a work dinner, unable to escape, and Brian had toe to her


    rescue.


    He had thought Natalie might misunderstand, but she couldn’t care less about the women in his life.


    The agreement might have shackled her freedom, but not her heart.


    Natalie had been resting dutifully in the trailer Rosie had arranged for her, avoiding any private


    interaction with the other cast members.


    She knew her lines by heart, yet Miller still hesitated to let her on set, probably fearing it would

    conversation, there was no sign of King.


    Sensing something was off, Natalie abruptly asked, “Has King been feeling better these past. few


    days?”


    Nina hesitated, “Uh…”


    “Nina, you never lie to me,” Natalie said, knowing by her hesitant reaction that King’s injuries

    were more serious than the butler had let on.


    “They told me not to tell,” Nina finally admitted in a whisper.


    Natalie felt her heart sink. Just as she was about to press Nina for more details, a knock came

    “I’ll call you backter.” Natalie said, hanging up the video call and turning nonchntly toward


    the door.


    It was Rosie, who had taken nearly half an hour to return with a packed lunch for Natalie. As soon as


    she boarded the trailer, she whispered, “You’ve got a visitor on set, go check it out.”


    “What?” Natalie was puzzled.


    “A kid,” Rosie said with a grin. “Cute little thing, came over in a Bentley, parked in a secluded spot away


    from the crowd.”


    Natalie instantly knew it had to be Nate.


    Brian’s son hade to visit her on set. If word got out, it would spell disaster!


    She quietly asked Rosie to cover for her, and they sneaked out of the trailer, heading towards the


    parked car.


    “Natalie?” Not far away, the male actor who had brought Natalie yogurt a few days earlier saw her exit


    the trailer and waved at her.


    Natalie and Rosie pretended not to see him, leaving Arlen awkwardly standing near Natalie’s trailer, his


    greeting unanswered.
