As the chatter from the group outside reached her ears, Natalie started to feel that something
was amiss.
She casually tapped Gracie’s ninto her phone, scrolling through the news feeds. The latest buzz about
Gracle was still frozen in time, a few days old by now.
Staring at her phone screen, Natalie furrowed her brow, and a shiver ran down her spin.
With the Howard family’s deep roots in Streamville, It seemed like there was little Brian wasn’t capable of
managing or controlling in these parts.
He must have downplayed the incident last night to protect Gracie, right? If a fan committing murder got out, it
would be the end of Gracle’s career, not to mention her life in showbiz.

As luck would have it, a fellow actor from their show was inside grabbing sGreek yogurt. Natalie greeted
him politely before she and Rosie headed out.
They hadn't gotten far when the actor caught up to them, calling out, “Natalie!”
She stopped and turned, puzzled.
“For you, this kind won't add an inch to your waist,” he said with a scratch of his head and a smile, offering
Natalie a cup of yogurt.
Natalie looked at the outstretched hand, pausing for a moment before accepting politely,
“Thanks.”
It was just a cup of yogurt. Refusing it would make her seem too cold and standoffish.
Rosie, on the other hand, could see the subtext clear as day. Natalie was stunning, the type of beauty that took
your breath away at first glance and only grew more captivating the more you looked.
It wasn’t just men who were drawn to her. Rosie herself couldn’t help but admire Natalie. It was no surprise that
the actor had taken a shine to her.
From the shadows, a flash went off, followed by the distinct sound of a camera shutter.
“Paparazzi!” Rosie reacted instantly, stepping forward to shield Natalie's profile with the shopping bag.
Luckily Natalie had been facing away, so her face was probably not captured.
The yogurt-offering actor was a rising star, gaining straction after transitioning from pop idol to s.
Paparazzi loved to track these types, as even a whiff of a scandal could send social media into a frenzy,

Natalie knew that no amount of explanation would help. It would only make things worse. It was best to leave.
As the actor walked towards the paparazzi, she didn’t linger, turning instead with Rosie to squeeze through the
crowd and onto a quiet side street that led back to the hotel. They hadn't gone far when they saw a car parked
by the curb.
Natalie glanced at the car and froze.
What were the chances?
A man leaned against the vehicle, his silhouette barely discernible in the dim light, but their eyes met.
“What's wrong?” Rosie whispered, sensing something was off. “Do you know him?”
They were too far for Rosie to recognize Brian, but Natalie knew him instantly.
“Rosie, you go on ahead. | need to chat with a friend for a moment,” she said in a low voice.
Rosie hesitated, concerned. But after Natalie insisted a second time, promising to follow shortly, Rosie reluctantly
walked away, looking back with every other step.
Taking a deep breath to steady herself, Natalie approached Brian.
His gaze was fixed on the cup of yogurt clutched in her hand.
