With a chuckle, Natt wrapped his arm around her shoulder.
The lust in his eyes didnât go unnoticed by Karina.
Karina froze, internally cursing him, but outwardly she managed to smile.
âAlright.
â
Natt laughed.
âKarina, I didnât expect you to be so smart.
Letâs do it.
â
He even started calling her Karina instead of Miss Glyn.
Karina held back a scoff but kept her expression neutral.
Just as he was about to proceed, she frowned and dodged his arm.
âOh my! My stomach is not feeling well.
I need to step out to get something.
â
His smile froze.
âWhatâs wrong?â
Clutching her belly, Karina feigned discomfort.
âYou know how it is with us women, we have our monthly cycle.
Iâll be back shortly.
Jack, could you please keep the guests company in the meantime?â

Jack, a star she had brought along, quickly stood up, ready to propose a toast in her stead.
Karina swiftly made her way to the door and opened it.
Behind her, Nattâs voice rang out.
âDo you think you can trick me? Am I that gullible?â
Karina paused, turning to face him with an awkward smile.
âHow could I dare to deceive you? Iâll be right back.

He snorted.
âIf you aim to have a successful career in the entertainment industry, you need to show some sincerity.
This isnât a college, weâre not youngsters anymore.
If you canât handle it, donât bother working in this field.
â
His blunt words left her taken aback, mentally cursing him as she closed the door behind her.
It appeared she wouldnât be able to escape today.
She was prepared to make certain sacrifices for her career as long as it didnât cross her ethical boundaries.
Mentally preparing herself, Karina returned to the directorâs side.
âNatt, donât be upset.
How could I dare to deceive you? Iâll go buy something after we have this drink, okay?â
Natt, seeing her acquiescence, nodded, handing her the glass and reaching out to hold her shoulder.
âGood.
Letâs drink.
â
The manâs substantial belly pressed against her.
Karina gritted her teeth, suppressing the revulsion in her eyes, and forced a smile.
