Chapter 72 - Do You Still Blame Me?

''So, you came to this decision. I am thinking that, Mikael has something to do with it, right?'' Xia asked.

''Yes, he has'' Natalie said with a smile and Xia furrowed her brows.

''But, will you be alright? Your life is going to be chaotic and you might even get stalked'' Alice said worriedly.

''Don't worry. The decision I made, I won't turn back on it. I already discussed everything with Mikael. Xia, make sure you write a nice article for my sister and I''

''Don't worry. I am going to make sure I use all the beautiful pictures you two have with me. Just leave this to me. I am definitely getting a huge bonus this month for this explosive scope'' Xia smiled, virtually seeing her account increase in size.

''I can't believe you are so happy milking us'' Alice muttered.

''How else am I supposed to benefit from our long standing friendship?'' Xia chuckled.

…..

Early in the morning, Mimi walked out from her room yawning. She was wearing a pair of skinny pants and tight top.

''Mom'' she paused in her strides when she noticed the strange atmosphere in the hall. Her mother and father were extremely quiet as they focused on the TV.

''Mimi, did you know about this?'' Mrs. Solace asked, pointing at the screen.

''Know about what?'' Mimi asked and her face turned pale when she saw the news.

''How did they keep it under wraps for so long?'' Mr. Daniel asked as he looked at Mrs. Solace and Mimi.

Mimi sneered sarcastically and muttered, ''Natalie, you've really grown''

''Why did I never think of this?'' Mrs. Solace was genuinely confused.

''That means even her father was cheating on you before you left'' Mr. Daniel said.

''This is so funny'' Mrs. Solace muttered and gritted her teeth.

''Mom, dad. I really didn't know about this. this must be the reason why I am always the target of Alice's bullying. On set, she would find ways to put blames on me and try to damage my reputation. All this while, she was taking her anger out on me because of big sister. Mom, what should I do to make big sister know that I sincerely love her and want us to be on good terms?'' Mimi held her mother's hand, looking at her with a pitiful gaze.

''Stop trying to make her like you. That girl must have been aware of her father's infidelity since long. That must be the reason why she went back to him''

''Mom, no matter what big sister is your child. Maybe, we should invite her for dinner and then get the chance to ask her a few questions. What if big sister has a big misunderstanding about you? She always thought that you loved her less''

''Don't talk about her again in this house. I am done with dealing with Natalie'' Mrs. Solace said and walked away. Mimi smirked and lowered her gaze.

''Dad, I still have some things to do inside''

''Okay, go ahead and do your own things'' Mr. Daniel turned off the TV and sat down.

Mimi locked her door once she was inside. She screamed out her frustrations in the room. Because of the soundproof, nothing could be heard outside.

She chuckled and muttered, ''so you want to play dirty with me? You've grown, Natalie. Now, I will show you no mercy. I will make sure I send you back to the hell you came from''

Mimi picked her phone and made a call. ''I want you to find out something for me''

….

Alice is my religion: This is breaking news. Who would have thought that Alice had such a beautiful sister? If she goes into the entertainment industry, I am going to be a fan.

Even if the world ends: Even if she doesn't go into the entertainment industry, I am still a fan. She is so beautiful.

My crush forever, Alice: Two goddesses. I am crushing hard on them.

Alice and Natalie: These are the moments I am totally leaving for.

Candy shop Alice: Can someone ask the goddess where she is working at? I want to see her in real life.

Alicemarryme: Wait, I just realised the sister of our goddess is married to the late brother of Mikael Sun. does that mean, our goddess is the sister in law of Mikael Sun?'

Lover of Alice: I just found out too. This will put the haters to shame. Those who were bashing them should go and bow in shame.

MikaelSunSon: Where are those that were spreading unnecessary news about the goddess, saying she was an heirloom? I am waiting to see an heirloom as beautiful as the sister of our goddess Alice. PS: She looks good standing next to Mikael Sun.

Xia kept reading the news out to them as they sat in the hall. Alice was laying on Niania's laps as she also followed the trending news.

''Big sis, I just gained another thousand fans. At this rate, won't the internet crash because of this? But, why does that make me so happy?'' Alice laughed.

''This turned out well'' Niania smiled.

''Big sister, someone just found out that you work at Janice. Shouldn't we get you a bodyguard?''

''Tsk, am I a celebrity? This kind of news will die by tomorrow and everyone will forget of it'' Natalie said as she helped Mikael in the kitchen.

''Alice, you've just receive three offers from three magazines and they want big sis to be part of it'' Niania announced as she read the emails she had just received.

''I'm not doing it'' Natalie said.

''Big sis, this is your time to shine. Let's do it together''

''No. I don't want to be famous. I just want to do what I like. Tell them I have stage fright''

''More like camera fright'' Xia corrected her.

''I don't care. I'm not doing it'' Natalie's phone buzzed and she picked it from the table, ''hello Lucy. Oh, it just happened that way. I'm fine, thanks for asking. Yes, I will be coming next tomorrow. Take care, bye''

''Food is ready'' Mikael said as he sat down.

'Oh, I was hungry''

''Eat and leave here already. I'm tired of seeing your faces the whole day'' Natalie said and they laughed.

…

''Bye, take care'' Natalie waved at Alice and Xia as they got into Alice's van with Niania. She smiled and turned to look at Mikael standing by the door.

''Let's go in'' Mikael said as he opened the door for her.

….

Janice Jewellery.

Outside The Building.

Mikael pulled over when they arrived at Janice. He turned to face her saying, ''Be safe and don't forget about our deal. Call me anytime. I will pick you up after work''

''Won't you be busy? I saw a script a few days ago. are you not taking that up?''

''I am, but, I will always have time for you. Call me''

''Alright. Thanks for everything''

''You are welcome'' Mikael watched her go inside before he drove away.

At a distance, William was talking with Amy when they arrived. He looked at Natalie entering inside the company and smiled.

Lucy rushed to Natalie as soon as she entered the reception.

''Finally. You're back'' Lucy said as she hugged Natalie.

''Why do I feel that you're not sincere at all?'' Natalie said and they laughed before she added, ''but, I am more interested in seeing your boyfriend''

''Natalie, you just became popular overnight, see the way everyone is looking at you? They could never have imagined such coincidence. But, it just made me love you even more''

The workers in the reception suddenly burst into chatter as they watched Mimi entering with two bodyguards and her assistant.

''What is she doing here?'' Lucy asked frowning her face. Since when she realised how Natalie was connected to Mimi, she had ceased to admire her again.

Mimi looked at Natalie with a sly smirked as she walked towards her. ''Big sister?!!'' Mimi said making the people present to gasped in shock at the news. The chatter became intensive as they watched with curious gazes.

''Yesterday it was revealed that she is the sister of Alice Jun and now even Mimi is calling her big sister' someone muttered.

''Is really you. I didn't know you returned to work so soon?'' Mimi tried to touch Natalie and the latter stepped back.

''Please, don't act as if we're familiar with each other. My last name isn't Song but Jun. Don't let the people here misunderstand us. Let's go Lucy''

''Do you still blame me? Big sister, I am now the brand ambassador for Janice, as long as I am here, no one will bully or look down on you'' Mimi spoke when she saw Natalie turning to leave.

Natalie sighed, feeling an impending headache. She knew Mimi was up to no good 'you still haven't changed. Is useless talking with people like you. I have work to do. Excuse me, Miss Song''

''Yesterday, I was a little sad. You didn't mention me as your sister when you told everyone that you and Alice are related. Even if our relationship was short-lived, we still share the same mother just like how you share the same father with Alice''
