Wife by Day, Boss by Night

Chapter 26

Natalie glanced at the pink diamond adorning her neck, her expression as serene as ever, without

uttering a single word. NôvelDrama.Org content.

The receptionist, sensing an awkward vibe, quickly chimed in, “Gracia, this lady is referred by a director

from abroad for an audition. If she’s not to your liking…”

“Referred for an audition?” Gracia couldn’t help but curl her lips into a faint smirk.

“Some no–name international college dares to send candidates to your company? And who knows

what they traded for this recommendation? Has Global Entertainment Group’s bar dropped this low?

Isn’t that embarrassing?” she articulated softly.

With that, she took the recommendation letter from the receptionist, crumpled it methodically, and

tossed it into the nearest wastebasket.

“In my opinion, there is a shortage of places to clean the toilet. Why don’t I help introduce it?”

The staff didn’t know how they provoked Gracia, who had always been good–natured. Guess she was

in a bad mood because of the bad comments that suddenly appeared on the hot search, so they were

too scared to say a word and didn’t dare to stop.

“If good looks were all it took to act, wouldn’t that be unfair to the truly talented?” Gracia then turned to

the few staff nearby, her voice still soft.

“Yes, of course!” the staff members hurriedly agreed.

Gracia allowed a small smile to grace her lips, peering through the crowd at Natalie with a look of

challenge that only Natalie could decipher.

Natalie met her gaze indifferently, watching Gracia walk gracefully toward the distant elevator, a silent

chuckle escaping her lips. She then turned and made her way to a secluded corner, approaching an

elevator that required fingerprint access. She pressed her finger to the scanner and hit the button to go

up.

As soon as she stepped inside, the elevator’s screen lit up. Gavin’s fave appeared on the screen,

“Natalie, what brings you here? Why didn’t you give me a heads–up?”

“I just wanted to run a scene with Mr. Miller and play a bit part, nothing major,” Natalie sighed,

responding. “But your receptionist wouldn’t let me see Mr. Miller, and Gracia tore up my

recommendation letter.”

Gavin frowned, knowing full well that if King, the head of Global Entertainment, found out Natalie had

been slighted, there would be hell to pay!

Natalie, one of the five shadow stakeholders behind Global Entertainment, was being turned away at

her company’s door. If word got out, it would be a laughingstock!

Although Natalie had never visited Global Entertainment Group before, she had personally spent a

month designing the code for the company’s unique and state–of–the–art security system. She knew

the building’s layout better than anyone.

To show his gratitude, the Chairman of Global Entertainment Group had given her stocks worth nearly

a billion dollars at the time, securing her position as one of the top five stakeholders. And Gavin? He

was the Chairman’s very own son.

“Couldn’t you have just dropped my name?” Gavin first gave her a mild reproach.

“A bit player with ties to the CEO? Guess how the media would speculate about our relationship if that

got out,” Natalie countered with an unchanging expression.

Gavin paused, impressed. She was a top–tier hacker with a mind that worked faster than most.

“I just want to play an ordinary small part in the production, something a little more than an extra,”

Natalie continued calmly.

“I’ll arrange it right away,” Gavin replied with an easy grin.

“Hold on,” Natalie said as he started to leave, stopping him in his tracks, “There are two more things.”
