Annabelle smiled slightly as she glared at Natalie and replied, “You’re right, Mrs. Hughes. I was Mr. Hughes ‘secretary. However, I was fired because I’d done something wrong.”
Natalie was rather surprised. She had never asked Jeremy about what was happening in the Hughes Group, let alone inquired about his subordinates. She smiled and said, “So that’s what happened.”
Annabelle voiced her confusion, “Mrs. Hughes, why are you being an assistant for an actor?”
No matter how stunning the actor was, he couldn’t hold a candle to Jeremy, could he?
In addition, not many people would lower themselves to be an assistant. Jeremy knew about it, right?
She suddenly thought of something. Austin was an actor who’d won a prestigious award. He had billions of followers on social media, and countless people adored him. If…
It was impossible. Jeremy definitely knew what Natalie was doing. However, Jeremy tended to spoil her by letting her do as she wished.
How could Natalie be worth all his adoration?
“My time freed up recently, so I’ve come to experience a different way of life,” Natalie explained politely.
For some reason, Annabelle seemed to be assessing and judging her. It made Natalie feel uncomfortable.
Since Annabelle made her feel like that, there was no need to get too close to her.
At the same time, Austin finished his scene. Initially, the female lead wanted to speak to him. However,
he refused and strode toward Natalie.
Natalie seemed to be daydreaming, and it was impossible to tell what she was thinking about. When she saw Austin come over, she reflexively handed him the bottle and asked, “Mr. Powell, are you thirsty?”
Auştin took the bottle. He looked down at her and said, “Is that someone you know?”
“Yeah. She’s an acquaintance. I don’t know her well, but something feels off about her,” replied Natalie. Suddenly, she remembered that they were at university. Why would Annabelle be there?
Was she a fan of one of the cast and here to see them?
That didn’t seem like the case.
“Really?”
Austin looked over. He’d noticed the woman speaking to Natalie. Now that he was trying to spot her in the crowd, he realized she’d left.
“It’s nothing. Perhaps its just a coincidence. There are many actors here today. Maybe she’s here to see
one of them. Are you tired, Mr. Powell? Do you want to sit down and take a break? I’ll get you an umbrella,
Natalie said. She thought nothing more of it.
”
Annabelle was only an employee who had gotten fired by Jeremy. She’d overthought it. There was no

Austin glanced at Natalie’s cheeks, which were flushed under the sun. He smiled and said, “I’m not that weak. I don’t need you to cover me. Why don’t you hold an umbrella over yourself?”
After a moment of pause, Natalie said, “I like to sunbathe. The sunlight right now is perfect. It doesn’t burn
the skin like how it does in summer.”
She’d be tanned, but she liked it.
When winter rolled around, her tan faded quickly. She also reapplied her sunscreen frequently to prevent damage to her skin.
Austin grinned and asked, “Aren’t you scared your skin will get darker?” C0pyright © 2024 Nôv)(elDrama.Org.
“Not at all,” answered Natalie honestly.
Someone snapped a picture of their pleasant little chat and sent it to Jeremy.
Jeremy had just finished a meeting. When he saw that Annabelle had texted him, he frowned slightly.
