Chapter 472
Austin shot Hank a cold nce. “Stop with your crazy ideas.”
“I’m watching you closely, Austin. You need to control yourself. If you can’t, I’ll find you a reliable
girlfriend within the industry. You two can
sign a fake rtionship contract for a few months to stir up some
publicity.

“It would satisfy your needs and keep you out of trouble. Plenty of
people have suggested this, and I think it’s time to consider it,” Hank
said, already mentally selecting candidates.
Austin’s expression darkened. “I don’t need that.”
“Yes, you do!” Hank insisted. He had to keep a close eye on Austin. In his current position of fame
and fortune, any scandal could be disastrous. Austin’s every move was scrutinized, with many
waiting
for him to slip up so they could tear him down.
“If you make a move on your own, I’ll find another agent,” Austin
stated firmly.
Hank was momentarily speechless. He knew Austin’s personality well. From the beginning of his
career, Austin had been determined and single–minded about his goals.
But if he wasn’t interested, no one could force him. Acting was Austin’s passion, and he had
devoted himself to his craft over the years. Unlike others who chased money on variety shows,
Austin focused solely on his film work.
He ignored offers from variety shows unless it was to coborate
with his crew for promotion. asionally, he would make guest appearances on a show or two.
“Fine, but you absolutely have to control yourself!” Hank sighed,
already anticipating problems. He might need to start nning damage control now.
If Austin couldn’t control himself…

Hank was anxious. Jeremy was no ordinary person. In Jipsburg, few
could rival him. The idea of Austin pursuing Jeremy’s wife was
reckless, to say the least.
They spoke in hushed tones, careful not to disturb Natalie, who
remained blissfully unaware of their conversation.
When they arrived at the studio, Natalie stirred awake. She was still
groggy from her nap.
“Sorry, I fell asleep.” She apologized when she saw Austin and Hank looking at her.
“It’s alright,” Austin replied softly.
Hank raised an eyebrow, noting Austin’s behavior. His previous
assistants never received such considerate treatment. He could tell it
all. He knew everything.
Half an hourter, Austin changed his clothes and got ready for
makeup before heading to the studio.
While Austin was busy filming, Hank casually struck up a
conversation with Natalie. “So, Natalie, did you and your husband fall
in love naturally?”

“Yes, we grew up together. We’re childhood sweethearts and n to grow old together,” Natalie
replied, her face filled with a joyful smile.
Whenever she mentioned Jeremy, her eyes sparkled with a joy she
didn’t notice.
Hank nced discreetly at Austin. “Childhood sweethearts, no
wonder your bond is so strong.”
“Well, it’s alright,” Natalie said, feeling shy about her rtionship with
Jeremy.
Since getting into the car, she hadn’t checked her Instagram message
on her phone. She had felt it buzzing while napping but hadn’t looked
at it yet.
Now, with a moment to spare, she pulled out her phone and saw new
messages. She opened her Instagram chat to find a photo sent by the stranger who had only sent
one message before and then
disappeared.
This time, there was only a photo–a picture of Jeremy in a hot spring.
No one else was in the photo.
Judging by the length of his hair, it seemed like it was taken recently.
If Jeremy had gone to a hot spring, he would have taken her with him.
But Natalie couldn’t remember any such trip.
She zoomed in and saw the look of desire in Jeremy’s eyes. She
froze. Being his wife, she knew exactly what that look meant.
Afraid she might have misinterpreted, Natalie carefully examined the
photo again. She was certain that she hadn’t been to that hot spring
