Chapter 577 Nightmare
So, a bunch of actresses under Mindy's wing have been hooking up with Herman to snag some sweet gigs.
Mindy knew all about it.
After all, it was all about playing the game.
In showbiz, everyone was hustling to get to the top and score the best gigs.
But Herman had some serious guts going after Natalie. In Dynamic Entertainment, besides Lucas, only Mindy knew Adrian had Natalie's back. The other two vice presidents, Finnian and Herman, were clueless.
Herman probably thought Natalie was just another wannabe actress.
Mindy saw this as a chance to give Natalie a heads-up.
If she didn't have Natalie's back at Dynamic Entertainment, Herman would walk all over her.
And she also wanted to take Herman down a peg.
Even though Herman had been around longer, Mindy didn't think much of his skills.
She figured she deserved the VP spot more than Herman.
Mindy grabbed her other phone and made a call. "Hey, it's Mindy!"
The person on the other end laughed, "Mindy, like I wouldn't recognize your voice?"
"Did you get the video?" Mindy asked.
The person chuckled, "Yeah, I'll hand it over tomorrow. But about that thing you promised..."
Mindy said, "Relax. To show I'm serious, I already wired $8 million to your account. Once I'm VP at Dynamic Entertainment, I'll make you an agent. How's that? You'll get to manage a few second-tier stars."
The person replied, "Deal. Can't wait to hear about your promotion, Mindy."
The next morning, Adrian showed up at Celestial Garden.
He unlocked the door and found Natalie still snoozing.
Adrian walked into the bedroom and saw Natalie sleeping, her long lashes casting shadows on her cheeks, which had a hint of pink. She looked like she was having a bad dream, her brows all scrunched up.
Natalie's fingers reached out and grabbed Adrian's hand.
Adrian held her fingers and gently patted them, trying to comfort her.
His fingertips were a bit chilly from outside. Natalie opened her eyes.
She'd just had a dream where she was stuck in a huge swamp. The more she struggled, the deeper she sank. Just when she was about to go under, a hand grabbed her.
Natalie looked at Adrian, thinking she was still dreaming.
She saw Adrian, his hand warm.
Natalie was shocked. "What are you doing here?"
Adrian leaned down and kissed her forehead. "Bad dream?"
Natalie, still half-asleep, her eyes a bit red, nodded. "Yeah, I dreamt a beast was chasing me. I kept running, but then I fell into a swamp. The more I struggled, the deeper I sank. Just when I was about to go under, someone grabbed my hand and pulled me out."
Adrian held her fingers tight, his rough fingertips gently stroking her wrist. He hugged her. "It's okay, it was just a nightmare. It's over." He gently patted her back.
Natalie, still sleepy, slowly closed her eyes and her breathing evened out in his arms.
Adrian stayed like that, waiting until she fell asleep before shifting his position, still holding her. He knew she'd been under a lot of stress from all the public scrutiny lately.
He looked down at Natalie in his arms. She was curled up, holding his arm with both hands, her back trembling slightly, like she was falling into another deep nightmare.
