Chapter 571 I've Been Interested in You for a Long Time
Natalie wasn't sure if she was just trippin', but Herman seemed to be inching closer, whether he meant to or not.
Her senses went on high alert, and she scooted to the side. "My bad. Sorry for causing so much drama for the company."
"Mindy should've filled you in, right? This whole thing's kinda messy," Herman said, pulling out his phone.
Natalie shot back, "What's so complicated? Mindy didn't say anything."
Herman looked kinda polished for a dude in his forties, with a bit of a belly, but he kept it together better than most middle-aged guys. Still, his smile was super sleazy. Natalie pressed her lips together. She'd heard whispers about Herman creeping on female entertainers during a chill session in the lounge.
Natalie discreetly slipped her hand into her bag and started typing a message to Heather to find Mindy.
Herman pulled out some photos and handed his phone to her. They were explicit pics of Alice. Natalie's eyelid twitched. "Mr. Simmons, I think you got it twisted. The chick in the photos ain't me. I'll hold a press conference in three days to clear this up."
"Not you?" Herman acted all surprised and wrapped an arm around her. "Natalie, since you joined Dynamic Entertainment Media, we've hooked you up with the best stuff. This scandal's trashing our rep."
"Mr. Simmons, I'll explain everything in three days." Natalie cursed Herman in her head, calling him a creep. She stood up and brushed off his hand. "Mr. Simmons, if there's nothing else, I'm out."
She hadn't taken two steps when he grabbed her waist and threw her onto the sofa. "Drop your act. You're a slut and have already been with a bunch of guys."
Natalie sank into the soft sofa, struggling as Herman pinned her down.
Herman laughed, his smile getting grosser. "I love seeing you fight, Natalie. Did you know I've been into you since you joined Dynamic Entertainment Media? You look so hot when you're wild in bed. Those guys couldn't satisfy you, but I can. Stick with me, and you'll get any gig you want. Wanna be the face of top luxury brands? Do what I say, and it's all yours."
As he spoke, he tried to unbuckle his pants. Natalie took the chance to knee him hard.
Had Heather gotten her message?
Dylan was just outside. She was scared she couldn't get out on her own.
It was 8 PM.
The Dynamic Entertainment Media building was almost empty.
Even if Natalie screamed for help, no one would dare to stand up to Herman.
"Ah!" Herman screamed in pain, clutching his groin. His eyes turned nasty. "You bitch, I gave you a chance. Don't push it." He rushed over, grabbed Natalie's hair, and yanked it back hard. "I love it when you fight like this."
The more Natalie struggled, the redder Herman's eyes got, fueling his sick desire.
Natalie gritted her teeth. "Herman, have some self-respect. You can't afford to mess with me."
