Chapter 669 The Turmoil
Natalie had a decent impression of Finnian.
Finnian was around 35. He was tall, kept himself fit, always rocking a charcoal gray suit at work, and had these metal-framed glasses. He usually slicked his hair back, looking like some fancy college professor.
He talked all smooth and confident, unlike Herman, who had this greasy vibe with his big belly.
But to climb the ladder at Dynamic Entertainment Media, he probably had some shady tricks up his sleeve.
"If Finnian goes down this time, Penelope might need to find another big shot to latch onto," Heather spilled some tea. "Ever since she got close to Finnian, he's been hooking her up with all sorts of resources. If he crashes, she'll know. I've got people watching her at Dynamic Entertainment Media, so I can kinda sense what's coming. She's smart; she's done a lot in just three years."
Natalie didn't think she'd be dealing with all this drama just a year into the entertainment biz. More storms were definitely on the horizon. She didn't want to get dragged into it, but it felt like something was pushing her, forcing her to make a move. "Heather, there's gonna be a lot of chaos ahead. If you stick with me, you'll have to go through it, too."
"I'm in," Heather said, clenching her fingers. She looked at Natalie. In the bright sunlight, Natalie's skin looked delicate. With her sunglasses on, she seemed to be glowing, and in this crowded tourist spot, Heather felt a sense of calm, like she'd found her faith.
Heather said, "Natalie, I'm sticking with you."
Natalie glanced at Yvonne. She hadn't hidden anything from Yvonne while talking to Heather, and Yvonne had heard it all. But Yvonne hadn't said a word. Now, Natalie looked at Yvonne and asked, "Yvonne, you in or what?"
Natalie needed Yvonne to make a choice. Yvonne had been with her for a long time.
Since Natalie's first movie, Yvonne had been her assistant. Yvonne's skills were top-notch. Whenever something went down, she was the first to help Natalie. If Natalie got bullied, Yvonne would always clap back. But Yvonne was ultimately Mindy's person, sent by Mindy to keep tabs on Natalie.
Now, Natalie was giving Yvonne a choice.
If Yvonne chose her, Natalie wouldn't hold the past against her.
If Yvonne chose Mindy, Natalie would find a new reliable assistant.
Yvonne was stunned, like a deer in headlights.
She stared wide-eyed at Natalie. Even though Natalie was wearing sunglasses, an unspoken pressure made Yvonne's heart race. She lowered her head. She knew Natalie had figured out she was sent by Mindy to spy on her.
Holding a snack in her hand, Yvonne's heart was trembling.
"Natalie, I need to think about it," Yvonne answered indirectly.
Natalie looked at Yvonne's cute face and nodded. "Alright, I'll give you two days to decide. Once you've made up your mind, let me know. If you haven't answered by Tuesday, I'll settle your pay, and I'm sure Mindy will find you another gig."
Feeling exposed, Yvonne bit her lip.
