Chapter 284 Agreeing to Become a Stunt Double
Natalie came out of the private room with a tray. A passing waiter said, "Natalie, Manager Nicholson wants to see you."
Natalie nodded, handed the tray to Denise outside room 505, and asked her to watch it for a moment. Then she headed to Melody's office. "Melody, you wanted to see me?"
Melody lit a cigarette, her chestnut wavy hair draped over her shoulders. She crossed her legs and put them on the desk. "Natalie, there's a money-making opportunity for you. Interested?"
Seeing Natalie's serious look, Melody laughed. "It's legit. What are you thinking?"
Natalie walked over. "Melody, just tell me straight."
"Kevin wants you to take a leave and act in his film," Melody said, extending her hand. "It's a 15-day shoot, and I asked for $5,000 a day. Kevin agreed, so he must be in a hurry."
"$5,000 a day?" Natalie's eyes widened in shock.
Kevin was the director of the crew Alice was currently with.
Natalie said, "To be a stunt double? But that price is too high."
Melody laughed. "Natalie, who complains about too much money? It's not for a stunt double. Alice sprained her ankle and can't move. They want you to play the second female lead for 15 days."
Natalie slowly clenched her fingers, pressing her lips together.
Melody said, "Natalie, this is a good opportunity. You can't be a waitress forever."
A faint smile appeared on Natalie's face. "There's nothing wrong with working here forever."
Melody took a drag of her cigarette. "I don't want to hold you back."
From the first time Melody saw Natalie, she knew Natalie was different.
Even in a simple waitress uniform with her hair tied back, Natalie stood out. During weekly meetings, she always caught people's attention. Her light makeup looked better than many women's heavy makeup. She was destined for more; she shouldn't stay here.
"Natalie, this is a great opportunity. If you seize it, a bright future is ahead of you." Melody stood up, took a deep drag from her cigarette, and then stubbed it out. "Kevin may be a new director now, but he's been in the industry for over ten years, climbing from low-budget web series to multi-million dollar TV shows. He has connections. This time, he's not only paying you but also owes you a favor."
Natalie was silent for two minutes. She took a deep breath and bowed slightly to Melody. "Thank you, Melody."
At 11 PM, Natalie walked out of the Imperial Nightclub.
Fiona would drive her home, and Natalie went to wait for her near the A3 garage exit.
She waited for two minutes, but Fiona hadn't come out yet. The night wind was chilly; she was only wearing a jacket, so she rubbed her shoulders.
Suddenly, she heard a car approaching from behind. Natalie thought it was Fiona. She turned around and saw a car stop not far behind her.
"Miss, are you alone? Need a ride?"
Natalie moved to the side, ignoring him.
Unexpectedly, the man got out of the car. A pot-bellied middle-aged man walked over. "Don't refuse. It's late, and you're wearing so little. You must be cold. Come into my car; it's warm inside!"
"What do you want?" Natalie took a step back.
The man grabbed her arm. Natalie tried to shake him off. "Let go! If you keep this up, I'll call the police!"
