Richest Mogul 968


    There was a knock at the door. Skr frowned.


    Natalie’s expression changed as she went to check who it was. She had expected it to be Jeremy,


    but to her surprise, it was Helena.


    She turned to Skr and said, “It’s Helena.”


    “Isn’t she supposed to be filming? Skr checked the time. As she and Natalie returned to the


    hotel,


    Helena arrived before they could say more than a few words. This meant that Helena wasn’t filming


    and had returned with them.

    Natalie shook her head. ‘I’m not sure. Let’s see what she wants


    With that, she opened the door.


    “Ms. Jakeman, I’m sorry to disturb you. I asked the staff at the set and found out you’re staying in


    this hotel too. I was originally scheduled to shoot two scenes today, but there was a problem, and


    my scenes have been rescheduled to tomorrow,” Helena said gently.


    It seemed like an exnation for why she was at the set.


    Natalie was puzzled by Helena’s intention. Even though they were staying at the same hotel,


    Helena didn’t seem to need toe over and greet her.


    They were acquaintances but not quite friends. There didn’t seem to be any need for Helena to


    make a special effort for such a visit.


    Out of courtesy, Natalie replied, “I see.”


    Helena noticed Natalie’sck of enthusiasm and smiled warmly. She said, “I don’t have many


    friends here. Someone even sent me a birthday cake today. Yes, it’s my birthday. Would you join


    me for a small birthday celebration, Ms. Jakeman?”


    “I might not be able to make it. I have friends here. But happy birthday! Natalie’s sight imitation


    faded.


    It turned out Helena just wanted to invite her to a birthday celebration. However, dining with


    someone she wasn’t very familiar with could be awkward, and she sometimes felt socially anxious.


    Helena seemed to anticipate Natalie’s refusal, so she turned her attention to Skr, who was


    inside. “Ms. Sullivan is here too? Maybe both could join me. Celebrating alone in a foreign country


    is quite lonely.”


    “Isn’t Jeremy with you? Natalie asked impulsively.


    She immediately regretted the question.


    After knowing Jeremy for years, Natalie understood how busy he could get when work called. He


    might suddenly have had somethinge up, leaving him unable to spend Helene’s birthday with


    her.


    Helena replied with a hint of resignation, “Mr. Hughes has work. It came up unexpectedly.*


    At this point, it seemed difficult to refuse.


    Besides, it was hard to turn someone down when they were being so polite. From the moment


    Hellena knocked on the door, her attitude had been nothing but pleasant,


    Natalie turned to Skr. “Shall we join Ms. Hart for her birthday celebration?”


    Skr sighed inwardly. Natalie was truly kind–hearted, agreeing to celebrate the birthday of her ex-


    husband’s current partner. Even in fiction, something like this was rarely written.

    However, Helena’s friendly approach made it difficult to refuse, so Skr nodded.


    Helena’s room was upstairs. It had been decorated extensively, giving off a strong birthday vibe.


    A uniquely designed birthday cake was prominently disyed in the center. Birthday celebrations


    couldn’t be faked, especially for a celebrity like Helena, whose details could easily be found online.


    After singing the birthday song, Helena closed her eyes to make a wish before cutting the cake.


    Skr and Natalie each took a slice. They had eaten a lot at dinner and were nearly full, but they


    managed a few bites of the cake.


    Afterward, Helena brought them over to the balcony to look outside. It was already night, and the


    sky had


    turned dark.
