Playing Cute In Front Of My Ex-Husband

Helen hesitantly glanced at Alice before looking at Katherine.
"Hey, I'm not the one who's supposed to tell you about this."
Pouting, Alice walked towards Katherine and raised her arms for a hug, wooing her.
On the other hand, Katherine raised her hand to block Alice's embrace and looked at her with a mocking expression.
"Or do you want me to tell Luke about this little scheme of yours?"
Alice groaned and immediately gave in.
Katherine shrugged and walked to the sofa.
She sat there comfortably and looked at Helen.
"Helen?"
Initially, Helen didn't want to hide this from Katherine.
This wasn't the first or second time that such a thing had happened.
So, when Katherine urged her to tell the truth, she didn't hesitate to answer.
"Remember when Alice became the endorser of the C Company's skincare products last year? Well, C Company was very
satisfied with Alice.
Her contract expired a few days ago, but they are already asking us to discuss the contract for next year's endorsement.
However, earlier this morning, the person in charge of the sales in North District from the C Company suddenly called me and
said that he didn't want to renew the contract with Alice this year."
"Okay” Katherine responded.
She looked at Alice.
"Why did that happen?" she asked her.

Helen, who had been a manager for several years now, also couldn't help but feel confused about the sudden decision to
withdraw the contract.
"Is it Natalie? The person in charge of the North District is well-acquainted with the Jacobs family.Didn't Natalie win two awards
last night? She also spent a huge amount of money and bribed the press to write fake articles to defame Alice.’’ The truth was
that stealing endorsements were very common in the entertainment industry.
If Natalie stole someone else's, Katherine wouldn't be surprised anymore.
However, since Natalie didn't hesitate to snatch her friend's contract, Katherine wouldn't just stand by and watch.
The problem was, there were too many things involved in this matter.
Of course, Alice and Natalie always had bad blood against each other.
However, in the eyes of the public, the two of them had been portrayed as friends for many years now.
Natalie obviously used her connection with the Jacobs family to get that endorsement deal.
Many people were unaware of this issue, and Alice was not allowed to confront Natalie for being low and petty.
As much as she wanted to, she couldn't do that, given her career and reputation.
However, it wasn't like there was no other way to teach Natalie a lesson or two.
She relied on the Jacobs family, and Katherine created an e-commerce website five years ago.
Luckily, the Jacobs family's clothing brand just happened to be on the platform of Katherine's company, and they were currently
negotiating with each other regarding the selling process on this particular platform.
Helen wasn't aware of this matter, but Alice was.
Alice honestly didn't want Katherine to know about this issue because she didn't want to make things difficult for her friend.
On the other hand, Helen wanted Katherine to know because she knew that there was nothing that this woman couldn't solve.
Katherine stared at Alice after she heard her explanation.
"Remember what I told you last night? I was right.You're not cut out for business."

"Katherine, I..." Alice stuttered.
Katherine scoffed and rolled her eyes.
"What are you afraid of? The person in charge of the Jacobs family is Charles.Doesn't it occur to you that Maxton has to rely on
Charles?" she said.
Alice's eyes lit up, and she stared at Katherine in awe.
"That makes a lot of sense."
"You stupid girl!" Katherine teased and laughed.
When her laughter died down, she looked at Helen with seriousness.
"Don't do this again, Helen, Alice.There's no need to hide these things from me” Helen smiled and glanced at Alice.
"It's all because of her,'' she replied.
Helen could already tell that she would resolve this matter upon seeing Katherine's reaction.She silently sighed before deciding
to leave.
"I'll be going out first.I'll leave you two so you can talk privately; she told the girls in front of her.Being robbed of the endorsement
was actually not a big deal for Alice.With her current status, a lot of endorsement deals were already lining up for her.
All she needed to do was choose whatever she liked.
However, she had always been irked by Natalie's dirty tricks.
That woman had always been trying to compete with her.
What she did really angered Alice, and even Helen herself couldn't accept what Natalie did.
Helen also did not expect that they could get the stolen endorsement back.
Well, as long as Katherine would be able to teach Natalie a lesson, everything would turn out fine.
That woman needed to reevaluate herself, anyway.

Helen left the office while Katherine and Alice remained inside.
Katherine immediately told Alice all the information she had just obtained about Natalie without wasting more time.
"You're far better than me when it comes to exposing this kind of stuff.I'll let you pick the lucky day, and we'll send a gift to
Natalie," Katherine said.
Satisfied with her revelation, Katherine comfortably leaned on the sofa.
A huge grin was painted on her lips.
Alice flipped through all the documents with her eyes widened, obviously stunned with the new information she had just learned.
"Oh my gosh! I couldn't believe Natalie could do this!" Katherine raised an eyebrow.
"Me, too.I was wrong."
"Don't worry, Katherine.This disgusting fly always likes to hover around you.Let's see if I don't embarrass her to death this time!"
A loud, taunting laugh escaped Alice's lips.
Natalie had always liked playing dirty tricks to other people, right? Alice was instantly filled with excitement and pride.
She had almost forgotten that Natalie had snatched the endorsement away from her.
Katherine looked at her beaming friend.
"Aren't you sad that the endorsement was stolen from you?" Alice frowned at her.
"If someone else had snatched the endorsement away from me, I would be pissed, but I'll let it go.But since it's Natalie who stole
it, you can't imagine how angry I am right now!"
