Chapter 574: A Playboy

Before this, Lily had always believed that Max was nothing but a playboy, who would never really love a woman.

Therefore, Lily could accept it, as long as she could become the one and only Mrs. Nixon.

But today, she found that she was wrong.

Other people might not tell that Max was truly in love with Laura, but she could.

That wasn't fair.

How could that man, who didn't even bother to spare her a glance, fall for another woman in the blink of an eye?

Was she really worse than her?

Lily begged to differ!

She refused to give up Max. The thought was like a spark, and it would ignite a big fire once triggered.

She gritted her teeth and clenched her fists, her eyes fixed on the photo on the screen.

After a long time, she took a deep breath, picked up her phone, and made a call.

"Hello. Reach out to this person and ask him to do something for me..."

Meanwhile...

Laura had no idea that she was targeted by Lily now.

Maria let her have a few days off because she would be shooting that suspense comedy film with Stephen soon.

So Laura decided to spend some time with her mother in the hospital.

St. Peter's Hospital, the hospital Fannie stayed in, was one of the best hospitals in the world, with world-class medical facilities and excellent patient care. Besides, Max hired the best caretaker for Fannie, so Laura didn't have to worry about her mother.

The only thing bothering Laura was the heart Fannie needed.

Since she had an extremely rare blood type, it was almost impossible for her to replace a suitable heart for transplant.

But if Fannie didn't have a heart transplant, a heart attack could happen to her anytime, just like an evil spell cast upon her, and thus take her life at any moment. Laura couldn't accept it if that happened, so she always wanted to cure her mother.

This day, when Laura was on her way to the hospital, she received a phone call from Natalia.

She was surprised to see the caller ID.

After all, Natalia seldom contacted her because now she was busy taking care of her children and her business at the same time.

As Star Entertainment's actress, Laura usually had Elsa and Maria do her work for her, and it had been a long time since Natalia got involved personally.

Did she call to tell her something now?

Laura hit the answer button with curiosity.

Hardly had she answered the phone than she heard Natalia's smiling voice, "Hey Laura, I heard that Mrs. Davies doesn't feel well and staying in a hospital. Is she alright?"

It was impossible to hide her mother's illness from the company she worked for, so Laura had no intention to keep it a secret in the first place.

The reason Laura didn't tell everyone was that neither Maria nor Natalia asked her about it.

Later, Maria learned about it by chance, and Laura just told her everything, so she was not in the least surprised that Natalia knew it too.

Laura nodded, "She's doing OK. Why?"

Natalia smiled, "Nothing, it's just that I'm leaving for Othua on a business trip, and there might be more heart suppliers over there. So I assume I may get more new information for you there. Do you want me to ask about it?"

Laura was overjoyed to hear that.

It was just like winning a lottery, and how could she turn down such a great offer?

She nodded immediately, "Yeah! Thank you so much."

Natalia noticed the excitement in Laura's tone and said with a smile, "I should be leaving next week, and I'll contact you as soon as I get some news."

"OK," replied Laura in a shaking voice. She knew Natalia well. If Natalia hadn't got some helpful information, she wouldn't have called her.

Natalia might have already learned something exactly, so she called Laura to confirm it.

Laura's eyes grew misty. It was after a while that she managed to calm herself down and said, "Thank you, Natalia."

Natalia chuckled, "Not at all. I'm not helping you for nothing. Now you're the most popular actress in Star Entertainment, as well as our biggest income source. We would definitely help you so that you can focus on your work and make more money for us."

Apparently, Natalia said this to relieve Laura's anxiety.

Laura was grateful for how considerate Natalia was being.

She replied in a choked voice, "I see. Don't worry. I'll work harder and make more money."

"OK, that's all I wanna hear."

The two of them made some small talks and hung up.

As soon as Natalia put down her phone, someone knocked on her office door.

Rosa walked in with a cup of coffee.

After Natalia stopped acting, she had been working at Annie International, and she kept Rosa and had her work for her.

Natalia would teach and advise her at work.

Rosa, who had used to be an attendant who did some menial work for big stars, had already become an experienced and capable assistant now.

Rosa was extremely grateful to Natalia for her "promotion".

Just because of that, she was even more guilty about what she had done to Natalia before.

Seeing Natalia hanging up, she gave a shy smile, "I hope I'm not disturbing you, Mrs. McCarthy."

Rosa called Natalia by her name in private. However, Natalia was in charge of the whole Annie International now, instead of the Public Relations Department.

So Rosa called Natalia Mrs. McCarthy out of respect at work.

Seeing Rosa coming into her office, Natalia raised her head with a smile, put her phone aside, and replied casually, "No, not at all."

She took a sip of coffee. Suddenly, something popped into her mind and she said, "By the way, I'm leaving next week, and I'll be dealing with the work here online. If something happens, tell me at once." Rosa nodded immediately. "Sure."

Natalia passed a name list on the desk to her.

"Here is a list of the people attending the movie festival next week. Send it to their agents and the PR Department. Tell the nominated actors to get ready and fly there as far as possible and set their egos aside for now."

Rosa opened the folder and skimmed through the name list.

Then she looked up at Natalia and smiled, "I'm afraid Mr. McCarthy can't go."

Nathan McCarthy?

Natalia frowned.

"Why?"

Rosa replied, "He's been busy working for a sci-fi movie lately. The other day I passed his office and heard him and the screenwriter talking about it. Presumably, he'll request permission to start this project from you soon."
