Natalie was amused when she saw all the comments on social media. She suddenly felt that the fans on social media were quite adorable. However, she would have to think carefully before becoming a celebrity. If she became one, it might be easier for her to help Tony in the future, but she shouldn’t make any decisions in a hurry.
Meanwhile, Bryce was in his office, dealing with matters related to his companies. There was an icy look in his cold eyes, a look that made people feel that this man was as immovable as a mountain. No one would dare to disturb him when he looked like that.
But just then, someone hurried in, not even bothering to knock on the door. It was Samuel. He was probably the only person who was not intimidated by Bryce.
Before Samuel had even sat down, he took out his phone and showed the screen to Bryce, saying, “Bryce, look, this is your wife, right?”
Bryce was busy and didn’t have time for Samuel right now. He didn’t even look at him before coldly shouting, “Get out.”
Samuel didn’t move. He said, “Come on, take a quick look, Bryce. This is mega popular on the internet.”
Bryce usually didn’t care much about things on the internet and in the entertainment world, but Samuel’s irritating presence had already disturbed him. So he took a look at his friend’s phone screen. Seeing the photo of King Louie and Marie Antoinette displayed there, he immediately frowned and raised his eyebrows, glancing at Samuel. The person in the photo was indeed Natalie.
Sensing Bryce’s gaze, Samuel started to feel uncomfortable. When he’d seen this photo, he’d been very surprised himself. He wanted to see Bryce’s expression, so he’d hurried over. But Bryce didn’t seem to be very angry. Samuel was puzzled. What was the nature of Bryce’s and Natalie’s relationship? Wasn’t it natural for a husband to be upset when he saw his wife messing around with another guy like this?
He said, “You seem pretty unmoved by this.”
Bryce looked coldly at Samuel. The expression on his face was indeed neutral, but deep within, he was feeling very unhappy. He thought back to the scene in the photo. Why hadn’t Natalie discussed this with him?
Samuel said, “I can’t imagine Vivian getting involved with anything like this. Maybe she would have been a better match for you after all.”
Bryce’s mind was occupied by the scene between Natalie and the actor, so he wasn’t in the mood to listen to Samuel’s chatter. He kicked him out of his office in annoyance.
On the way out, Samuel was somehow pleased that he had managed to get a reaction from Bryce. For once, he had managed to cut through his cold armor. It appeared to him that Bryce’s relationship with Natalie was really not simple at all.
After Samuel left, Bryce couldn’t help but recall lying on the bed looking at Natalie that morning. And then as he thought of her posing for pictures with other men, he felt unhappy. Bryce, unaware of how angry and upset he looked after thinking about that, called his assistant in.
When the assistant came in and saw his boss’s expression, he was surprised. What was going on with Bryce today? The assistant asked carefully, “Mr. Clare, do you have any requirements? Is there anything special I can help you with today?”
Bryce took out a file from his drawer and gave it to the assistant, but his expression didn’t change much as he said, “Add a clause to this contract stipulating that in the future, the female party in the contract is not to pose for pictures with other men.”
The assistant took the document. When he saw the existing terms of the contract, he was stunned. He looked at Bryce in surprise, unable to say anything as he thought, “The boss is married? I can’t believe it.”
However, the assistant could only reply respectfully, “Okay.” Then he took the papers away. However, he couldn’t help but be curious about what kind of woman would be able to make his boss fall in love.
After the assistant had dealt with the terms of the contract, he emailed a copy to Natalie as Bryce had instructed. Natalie was in her office dealing with some other matters when the email arrived. Seeing the new terms of the engagement in the revised contract, she didn’t know whether to laugh or cry. Social media was so busy, so ubiquitous, so it wasn’t really a surprise that Bryce already knew about the photos. But Bryce’s response to them? That she had definitely not expected. She thought that she needed to explain things to him, so she immediately dialed his number.
Bryce answered quickly, but his tone was angry as he said, “What is it? Speak.”
She choked for a moment. She felt that Bryce was afraid that if they were to announce their marriage in the future, he would lose face. So she explained patiently, “Um, do you know that in that photo I’m in character, right? It’s not me who is interacting with the other person, but the character I’m portraying.”
She had been in the entertainment industry abroad for so many years, so of course, she knew the nitty-gritty of these situations. Natalie finished explaining and was about to mock Bryce, but she didn’t expect him to hang up without saying a word.
She was stunned for a moment when she saw that the call had ended. Then she burst out laughing. Why is Bryce acting so weird?
In his office, Bryce was left feeling annoyed after listening to Natalie’s explanation. He also noticed some clues in the photo. The first time he had seen it, he had reacted impulsively and had not paid proper attention to it. But what made him really frustrated and annoyed was that he started to act like a jealous man.
