Aurelia Shaw chuckled softly, though using the trailer could slap back at previous rumors of poor acting skills, there was no guarantee that no one would suspect her of deliberately creating buzz. She might gain some fans, but it would also attract criticism.
She had Grayson Quinn divert the public opinion to someone scheming behind the scenes. Netizens weren't fools. With a bit of thought, they could see the clues, and what would happen next was predictable.
Eliza Fletcher must be furious now, right?
Ha, she and Sawyer hadn't signed a contract yet. Sawyer wouldn't risk announcing her as the leading lady prematurely, and the investors wouldn't do something that would damage their interests.
There was only one person.
The one who was jealous of her, knew she was the leading lady, and wouldn't get too entangled by this matter, possibly even benefiting from it, was none other than her—Eliza Fletcher!
Unfortunately, she chose the wrong person to mess with, insisting on bothering me.
Though she didn't think of thanking Grayson, Aurelia still sent him a "thank you" and then sent a message to Albert.
"Done!"
Albert replied quickly, "Yeah, I saw it. Quite a beautiful counterattack."
Aurelia frowned, staring at the concise reply. Since when did Albert become so succinct?
She didn't think much of it.
Putting away her phone, she felt the alcohol hit her, closed her eyes, and fell into a drunken sleep.
M Nation.
The HLW filming site.
The tall figure of a man stood in the studio, wearing a well-pressed suit and a clean white shirt, drawing the gaze of many women. He only lowered his eyes, his gaze gentle, lips curled in a faint smile, focusing intently on his phone, his fingers more elegant than a woman's.
"Caspian, did she reply?" asked a man with perfect English as he stepped down from the shoot, his eyes azure and his long hair golden and curly.
Caspian Parker smiled gently, handing the phone back to him, "I replied on your behalf."
Albert shrugged helplessly, "I really can't understand you people from Country Z. Clearly, you're concerned about her, so why not call her directly? You even instructed me to help her. Even if you hadn't said anything, I would assist her because she's my junior. But Caspian, these are things you should tell her—that you are concerned for her."
"Do you know how outstanding you are? Look at the women around you, all of them eyeing you, eager to fall into your embrace. If you make a move, I dare say no woman could resist your charm."
"Albert, she's my sister," Caspian interrupted him helplessly. "Besides, I once damaged her trust, leaving her alone. She's surely still angry with me. If I go to her now, it'll only push her further away."
"Oh! You people from Country Z have such complicated relationships!"
——
Because of the alcohol, Aurelia slept deeply throughout the trip.
In a daze, she felt herself being held. She opened her eyes slightly, her vision blurred, catching sight of a man's firm chest, a faint lemon scent coming from him.
So fragrant.
Hungry...
She opened her mouth and involuntarily bit down.
Ugh!
The man's body abruptly stiffened, legs seemingly petrifying on the spot, unable to move. His earlobes turned slightly red, followed quickly by his entire face flushing, his heart pounding as if it would jump out of his chest, thumping strongly with each beat.
A soft sensation crawled across his chest.
Mason Nightshade felt a surge of heat rampaging inside, though he had only drunk some fruit wine, but at this moment, his body felt like it was on fire, a swelling sensation echoed wildly in his mind.
Indeed, with her, she could effortlessly bring him to his knees.
