My extraordinary wife novel (Ashlyn and Lucas)

Chapter 527

"Sounds about right." Helena nodded in agreement.

When Greg received Helena's manager's phone call, he was taken aback.

She rejected my offer?

He knew this would happen. It had been some time since that incident, but people would still refuse to forgive him.

Nevertheless, he didn't give up.

"Hey, Maxwell. Why don't I ask my assistant to take up the role?" Jonathan yawned and suggested.

"Your assistant doesn't have any acting experience." Greg's opinion of Jonathan got lower with each passing day.

Jonathan leaned back in his chair beside him lazily. "She used to be an extra. Besides, it's cheaper to hire her. I have good chemistry with her, too. She would just have to play her part in real life, as my assistant."

Right then, a slim and petite girl appeared in front of Greg. She was clad in a white T-shirt, denim shorts, and white sneakers. She seemed neat and refreshing.

Her attractive oval face grabbed Greg's attention. She had big, round eyes and a sharp but dainty nose. She seemed like a promising actress.

Greg studied her for a while before he heard Jonathan chattering, "What do you think? Not bad, right?"

"Huh? Not bad?" Naomi plopped down beside Jonathan without hesitation.

"Assistant, are you interested in acting?" Jonathan shot a flirty look at her.

He had hired her about a month ago to be his assistant. She was pretty but clumsy in real life.

Naomi was exactly like the female lead in the script which was described as a young and clueless village girl. Everyone looked down on her because of her clumsiness and daftness.

Naomi pointed at herself. "What? Me in a movie? Really? But I don't know anything about acting!"

"Just act like yourself, okay? Silly!" Jonathan took the glass from Naomi and sipped on it. His expression fell promptly as he yelled, "I said I want honey grapefruit tea. Why did you give me honey lemon tea again?"

His youthful face was blazing with fury as he glared at her.

Naomi's hand trembled. Oh shit! I accidentally made my favorite honey lemon tea again.

She didn't want to stay at home and be a parasite who lived off her brother's allowance, so she found herself a job.

Naomi didn't have a local diploma, but she wasn't interested in furthering her studies abroad, too.

She happened to see Nolan Entertainment's job advertisement for an idol's assistant. The requirements weren't that much, plus meals and accommodation were included as well.

She immediately applied for it and was accepted.

From that day onwards, she became Jonathan Quickton's personal assistant.

She even moved out from her house secretly to live with Jonathan in a house provided by the company.

Her job was to take care of Jonathan.

It was hard for her at first because she was spoilt since birth. She used to have a staff of servants waiting on her. This was the very first time in her life she had to wait on someone else. She couldn't get used to it.

Everything felt strange to her.

Luckily, Jonathan was a chatterbox, but he wasn't a bad person. She had heard from other assistants that some celebrities put on a gentle and perfect manner in front of the public, but acted unreasonably behind the scenes. Some yelled at their assistants, tortured their assistants using cigarette butts, told their assistants to eat their leftover food, and even forced their assistants to wash their underwear. There were plenty of stories of assistants being abused and mistreated.

She knew she should count herself lucky.

Back then, Naomi would fly into a fit of rage if Jonathan yelled at her this way. But now, she knew she was nothing but a lowly assistant. She had no right to retort back.

If she was another female celebrity's assistant, the glass would've been thrown in her face.

Thus, she was a pretty adaptable girl after all.

After reflecting on herself, her frustration disappeared into thin air.

She hurriedly left to make a new glass of honey grapefruit tea for him.

I am just a lowly assistant. I am not the adored Nolan socialite. Nobody recognizes me here. She chanted silently as she tried her best to hypnotize herself.
