Spoiled By The CEO: Why The Wife Is Kinda Sweet?

Chapter 283 I’ll Beat Him Up for You

In other words, even though he was staying here by force, he could forget relying on her for food and

drink.

If you didn’t work, you wouldn’t eat.

She’d thought that he’d be dissatisfied with her words.

Unexpectedly, he simply looked coldly at her and said, “I’ve already dismissed that maid of yours.”

Victoria blinked. Content property of NôvelDra/ma.Org.

“What?”

Charlie frowned.

“You didn’t hear me?”

“No, why did you dismiss my maid?”

Charlie sneered.

“If I didn’t, was I supposed to wait for her to help you escape?”

Victoria’s temper flared.

“I already told you I’m not going to run. And in my condition, how far can I get?”

Charlie ignored her completely. “I have absolutely no faith in you.”

“…”

She clenched her teeth and suppressed her anger.

“All right, then. What am I supposed to eat and drink with the maid gone? You don’t expect me to make

my own meals while pregnant, do you?”

Charlie shot her a look.

He seemed to think about it.

“If you could, why not.”

“Charlie Peck!!!”

Looking at the woman all puffed up like a kitten, Charlie’s mood inexplicably improved.

“Relax. I was just messing with you. You really think I’m as cold and ruthless as you, don’t you?”

With that, he clapped his hands, and a woman with blonde hair and blue eyes walked in.

“This is a new maid I hired for you. Oh, and she used to be a matron. So compared to that bumbling

housemaid you used to have, she ought to fit you better.”

He had the new maid introduce herself.

The new maid’s name was Candy. Her looks were average, her personality was enthusiastic, and she

babbled on about a lot of things she was good at.

Victoria was angry, but she couldn’t throw a tantrum at a time like this. Besides, Candy was innocent,

and it wouldn’t do to take it out on her, so she could only nod and hold a conversation.

Seeing that she didn’t have any opinions on it, Charlie had Candy start making a meal, while he took

up a book and sat down on the sofa reading it.

Looking at the way he was taking over the household, Victoria’s temper flared, and she turned to go

back to her room.

…

In the afternoon, having just finished her break, Natalia was getting ready to put her makeup on and go

shoot afternoon scenes when she received a call from Victoria.

She was filming an office drama right now. The female lead was a high-ranking headhunter,

maneuvering the twists and turns of business and romance.

She’d never done office dramas before, so it was a challenge for her.

Receiving Victoria’s phone call, she lifted her hand and had the makeup artist wait a while. Then she

got up, walked over, and picked up the phone.

“What is it, Victoria?”

“Natalia…”

On the other end of the line, Natalia stuttered.

Hearing that her tone was different from before, Natalia frowned and asked worriedly, “What’s wrong?

Did something happen?”

“No.”

Victoria hurriedly clarified. “Nothing’s wrong, don’t worry. I just wanted to discuss, well…”

She pursed her lips. Any way she cut it, it was a hard thing to talk about it.

Natalia urged, “Anything you need, just say it. With our relationship, do you still need to worry about

anything?”

Victoria sighed, then said, “It’s nothing, really. Only, if you’re too busy, you don’t need to rush over when

the baby’s out.”

Even before Victoria could finish, Natalia swiftly realized something was off.

Her eyes worked, and she understood.

“The child’s father has appeared?”

“…”

Natalia chuckled. “No need to hide it from me. Don’t worry, I won’t ask who it is. Only, you’re in a

foreign country now. Without someone you know by your side, I’ll always worry.”

Victoria knew how much she worried for her.

She could only admit it. “Yeah.”

“When did he arrive?”

“Last night.”

Natalia thought about it. Arriving last night – he should be someone who was somewhat appropriate.

After all, Victoria wasn’t someone who didn’t have a good measure of the way things were.

If the man really was unreliable, she wouldn’t have told Natalia that she didn’t need to come.

Natalia sighed.

“It that’s the case, then I won’t force the matter. I want to be the first person to lay eyes on my godson,

but since the birth father is here… to keep myself from punching my godson’s father right in front of

him, I’ll stay away for now.”

Victoria heaved a sigh of relief and chuckled, “Thanks, Natalia.”

“Hey, if you really want to thank me, tell me who that man is, and I’ll beat him up for you!”

Victoria paused.

After a while, she said, “I’ll tell you afterwards. If I really get a chance, I will.”

Hearing that, Natalia understood that there was probably still something between them. It wouldn’t do

to get too involved in private matters, so she could only agree.

Hanging up, the cast’s temporary assistant had come over to call for her. The director was starting to

rush them and was telling the makeup artist to hurry.

She put her phone away hastily and sat back down to let them fix her makeup.

Natalia was a right proper actress now. She acted not for fame and especially not for money, but purely

because the last show had completely hooked her on the joys of acting. So she took roles based on

how good the script was, never on the numbers or the topic.

Seeing that she liked it that much, Archie let her do it.

Because of her special situation, Natalia didn’t find an agent for herself. After all, she’d been a

professional agent herself.

All resources passed through her, so she didn’t need to go through any extra steps.

Still, she did need a secretary. Because she hadn’t considered that before, she was getting really busy

after she entered the cast.

Thankfully, she knew Nathan, so he introduced her to a secretary.

But she was a college student and only there for a short winter break. After that, she needed to go back

to school.

As she considered things and looked over company selections, Natalia decided to go for someone

steady and reliable.

Unexpectedly, just a moment later she’d received a call from Elsa, saying that she’d already emailed

her a prepared list of secretary candidates for her to peruse when she had time. She could pick

whichever one she wanted and just send her the name.

Only then did Natalia realize that Elsa had it all planned out for her already, and she was immensely

grateful.

If Elsa could strike out on her own, she would love to see it. After all, everything in Star Entertainment

went through Elsa know. Even though Natalia had control of the bigger picture, it wasn’t convenient for

her to show herself a lot of the time, so Elsa still had to step in for her.

When she was done with the afternoon shooting, Natalia tapped open her mailbox on her phone and

took a look.

Elsa had sent her the profiles of over a dozen people, each with clearly defined resumes.

She scrolled down and read through each of them carefully, only she reached the last name and froze.

The name on top of the resume read “Rosa”. The girl in the photo had pretty features, with clean and

crisp shoulder-length hair, her faint smile emanating a sunny aura.
