Playing Cute In Front Of My Ex-Husband

Katherine casually browsed through the file.
Natalie was indeed a talented actress.She had committed numerous immoral acts throughout her years in the entertainment
industry.
There were just too many shameful deeds that Katherine was too lazy to look at them.She directly forwarded the file to Alice's
email.
Alice had recently joined the production crew and was extremely busy during this period.
As such, she had not been able to personally manage Silverlight Entertainment.
After Katherine forwarded the email, she looked through yesterday's meeting notes.
Since Alice had been away for filming, Katherine didn't have much choice but to keep an eye on the company.
Katherine was just about to hit the sack at around ten o'clock in the evening when her phone's ringtone suddenly pierced the air.
She raised her eyebrows, wondering why Alice was calling so late, yet she answered the call, "Are you done for the day?"
"No, I have a few more scenes to shoot until three in the morning!" Alice whined.
"Thank you for your hard work, Best Actress Alice" Katherine teased.
"Isn't it because I'm poor?" she quipped in return.
If she were half as wealthy as Katherine, she wouldn't have to film in this desolate mountain in the middle of the night! Katherine
smiled and probed, "Have you read the email?"
"Yes! I called precisely because of that!" Alice eagerly replied.
"Katherine, what sort of big plot are you planning? Why did you delve deeply into Natalie's dark past?"
Katherine's lips curled into a sly smile as she said, "Her career is going through a downward spiral.Didn't you want to make fun of
Natalie?"
"What downward spiral? Isn't she so proud now? She has just bagged the female lead role for a new movie!"

Alice retorted in annoyance.She was gritting her teeth at the thought.
"She always has the same expression when she acts.What a waste of a good script! I originally wanted our company's Leila
Brooks to play the role, but I didn't expect Natalie to snatch it!"
It wasn't like the director had a say in the matter.
Katherine furrowed her eyebrows upon hearing Alice's statement.She was not aware of this.
"Why didn't you tell me?"
"Should we compete with her on who put in more money? Ridiculous! The script is good, but based on my years of experience, I
doubt I'll make it big with this role! On the other hand, Leila, that young lady, is quite brilliant.The director almost chose her on the
spot during the audition!"
Alice explained in detail.
If Natalie hadn't been shameless enough to snatch the role from a younger actress, the female lead would have been Leila.
Katherine pursed her lips before assuring her, "Don't be mad.You'll be able to vent your anger soon."
"By the way, what are you really going to do?" Alice inquired.
"You know about Lux International created by Maxton and Logan, right? Their company's market share had been declining over
the past two years.Maxton recently contacted me to talk about the acquisition."
"Oh?"
Alice's interest was piqued, so she asked, "But what does this have to do with Natalie?"
Katherine chuckled and then stated, "Because I told Maxton that Natalie had offended President Summer.If he wants to sign a
contract with the company, he has to stop supporting Natalie"
"Katherine, that's awesome! This move of yours is fantastic!"
Alice was filled with enthusiasm as she prattled on, "Now that Natalie no longer has a backer, she probably wouldn't be so
arrogant.Katherine, how did your brain develop? Why are you so smart?"

Katherine took the compliment without any modesty.
"My IQ is indeed quite high.Alice feigned in annoyance as she said, "I feel like you are laughing at my low IQ"
"Be more confident and get rid of the feeling, Katherine playfully mocked her.
Alice felt the blow and decided to change the topic.
"So, now that Natalie has lost her major backer, we can take the piss out of her, right?"
Katherine paused for a moment and then, in a serious tone, said, "Theoretically, yes, but I still want to be a civilized person.I
don't think we should pee on her in public.We won't do it, okay?"
Alice felt ridiculed again and blurted out in exasperation, "I'm just making a metaphor!"
"Well, it's a very unique metaphor"
Alice was dumbfounded by Katherine's witty comeback.
For a brief moment, she kind of wanted to break off their friendship.
Forget it.
For the sake of money, Alice decided to suffer in silence.
