As it turned out, his woman was smart. Nôvel(D)ra/ma.Org exclusive © material.

Natalia picked up her cup and took a sip of tea, saying in a light voice.

"You get someone to check this out for you first, and I'll find a way to help you with the rest."

Stephen nodded.

Upon being reminded by Natalia, he realized the fishy nature of the matter and hastily called his agent

to look into the issue.

After he made the call, Natalia continued.

"Next I'll go over my plan and you'll see if there's anything you want to change or add."

Stephen nodded, "Well, go ahead."

Natalia gave a general overview of the plan to the two, and both of them agreed.

Stephen was happy as if he had found a lifeline.

After all, this case had been dragging on for half a month, and no viable solution had been found.

The plan of Natalia's was only sketched out, but it felt perfect.

The three of them came out of the restaurant and parted at the door.

Natalia didn't go with Archie, after all, it was already late and he had to go back to work.

And she had driven herself over, so she didn't need a ride. After parting, she drove off on her own.

Natalia didn't go straight back to the Mccarthy Vila.

She drove back to her small apartment.

Although she had now promised Archie to live over there, she still had a lot of her own household items

sitting here.

Archie was thoughtful for her, but she felt comfortable to use her own stuff, so naturally she had to take

them over.

After packing up her things, she was about to go out with her suitcase. She suddenly accidentally

glanced at a box placed in the corner of the sofa out of the corner of her eye.

The box was black, with a superior texture and a black velvet cover wrapped around the outside.

She paused, turned back around and opened the box.

A well-textured men's shirt was in there.

That was a birthday present she bought for Shawn.

Originally, she wanted to give him on his birthday, but unfortunately, before she could wait for that date,

she had crashed his adulterous affair with Jessica in advance.

Thinking about it, Natalia smiled to herself.

In just a few days, she'd gone from being sad and upset at the mention of the man to being numb and

unfeeling now.

People!

They all changed.

Natalia put the box back, but after thinking about it, she put it in her suitcase.

After all, it cost a fortune, over $100,000!

It was a shame to leave such a high grade item here. She preferred to sell it and get some money

back.

She dragged the case out the door.

After going downstairs, she put her suitcase in the car and drove towards the Mccarthy Vila.

After returning to the Mccarthy Vila, she shut herself into her room and started working on Stephen's

PR plan.

What she told him at lunch today was just a sketched plan. The specifics were not done in great detail

because she didn't know enough about the actual situation.

Now, she had to refine the plan in more detail.

After making the plan, Natalia sent the document to Stephen.

The two had already added WeChat at noon. After Natalia sent the document over, Stephen didn't

reply. He was probably busy, so she put down her phone and went downstairs.

It was now six o'clock in the afternoon.

It was time for Archie to come back.

The tantalizing aroma of food came from the kitchen. Natalia stretched out and wandered around

outside before returning to the living room.

The sound of a car engine came from outside.

Knowing that it was Archie who had returned, Natalia walked out and saw the man get out of the car.

He was dressed in a white shirt, with his suit jacket slung over his arm.

Dottie ran out from the kitchen at the sound.

Seeing him, she greeted with a smile,

"Mr. Archie, you are back!"

Archie nodded slightly, with his gaze falling on Natalia and a warm smile tinting the bottom of his eyes.

He reached out and hooked his arm around the woman's waist and led her inside.

"You always stand at the door waiting for me every day, it'll make me think you've fallen in love with

me.”

The man's voice was so low that only the two of them could hear it.

Natalia, however, blushed and reach out to push him away.

"Don't flatter yourself. I just came down for a walk and happened to run into you coming back."

"You watched sunset yesterday and walked today. Mrs. Mccarthy, it seems we're meant to be together!”

What a coincidence."

Natalia,

"..."

She simply stopped arguing with him and turned to head for the dining table.

Archie smiled.

After dinner he went into his study and seemed to be busy.

Natalia didn't bother him either.

She had her own things to deal with.

Among the three companies that were previously the Miller family’s, two of them had already been

sold, leaving Xunghui Culture, the entertainment company.

She kept the company because she was in PR herself.

She had always wanted to set up her own company, but it was too complicated to build a team on an

ad hoc basis, and it just so happened that such an opportunity was put in front of her, so naturally she

gladly accepted it.

Natalia hadn't gone to the company to check out the situation yet, having only gotten a general idea of

the company from outside sources before.

When signing the transfer papers, Henry had already had the company's information handed over to

her.

It was only after Natalia had read it carefully that she realized that the company's current situation was

worse than she had imagined.

No one would have transferred this company if it hadn't gotten to a very bad and unviable state of

operation.

Founded nearly forty years ago, Xunghui Culture was considered a very famous and large

entertainment company in the early days of the country.

There was a time when it was even considered a benchmark for the entire entertainment industry, not

only producing a large number of superstars, but also personally creating dozens of films and television

productions of extraordinary impact.

It stood to reason that such an old company shouldn't be in the mess it was today.

But the truth was, since the beginning of the decade, Xunghui Culture had gradually begun to lose

ground as then ace publicist Julia switched careers to become an agent, taking with her a large number

of then first-tier superstars.

Julia had taken away three batches of artists, all of whom were key training targets. It was a great hit.

And all of these people were willing to go with Julia because of the harsh conditions and extremely low

pay of the contract they signed with Xunghui Culture at the time.

So most of them were willing to pay a large termination fee and left.

Although Xunghui Culture's revenue had multiplied in a short period of time, a company drained of

blood was like a walking corpse that could only decline day by day.

Because of the changing industry and the rapidly rising peers, Xunghui Culture became smaller and

smaller.

To this day, the entertainment empire that originally represented an era had only small artists muddling

through the 18th line.

The resources were even worse.

For over a whole year, it hasn't received any of the better resources for the company's artists.
