Austin chuckled and said, "It's true."
Hank's lips twitched.
He and Austin had come to Fachington multiple times but Hank had never seen it before even though he'd complained about getting bored of Fachington's delicacies.
The comparison pissed him off.
He suspected that Austin had purchased the estate last minute or rented it temporarily just for Natalie.
Halfway through their meal, Hank suddenly recalled something.
"I forgot to tell you about something. Hadn't they said that there would be a Clusian actor here later? The original actress couldn't come, so they sent someone else instead. She played a guest role in your last movie. She used a bit of network to get into this movie. It's Helena."
Natalie coughed. The food she swallowed was lodged in her throat.
Austin handed her a glass of water. He said gently, "Eat slowly."
Then, he continued emotionlessly, "Who's Helena?"
Hank knew Austin wasn't faking it. He had no idea who Helena was. After all, they hadn't worked together for long. She'd only played a guest role in one of his movies.
Natalie felt her food go down more easily. Fachington was way too small, wasn't it?
There were multiple movies being filmed at the same time and many Clusian actresses. Why would they find Helena, of all people?
Suddenly, she recalled how Hank had mentioned she'd gotten in through by using her network and thought of Jeremy.
It looked like Jeremy and Helena were getting along well. Jeremy was already trying to get her new opportunities for Helena's development.
When Natalie finished her meal and headed to the washroom, Hank whispered to Austin, "Do you really not remember Helena? She's Jeremy's new girlfriend. We saw her at the Fachington airport. It looks like Jeremy has given Natalie out. As for you… I've thought about it. Do whatever you want. I've started making a public relations plan already."
