Top Actress Beware: Also Reborn Is Your CEO Husband!-Chapter 844: Caught Sneaking a Drink
"Go, go, go," Sawyer said, "I'm just trying to save money, spending every penny where it counts. Ah, being a director is tough, still getting teased by you bunch."
Someone chuckled, "We all know we're just joking around with you. Thanks to your efforts, our movie is such a success. This first drink, we toast to you."
"Sweet talker, Director Sawyer, we toast to you."
Everyone raised their glasses together.
At that moment, the door opened, and someone walked in.
"Mason... Mason Nightshade?" Sawyer was taken aback, instinctively glancing at Aurelia Shaw, who appeared indifferent.
"Mr. Nightshade, what brings you here?" Sawyer asked for an extra chair to be brought over.
Whether it was a coincidence or because Mason Nightshade was standing behind Aurelia Shaw, the chair was placed next to her.
Mason Nightshade sat down and smiled slightly, "I happened to be in the area for some business, heard you were hosting a promotional event here, so I came by to take a look."
"We're not disturbing you, are we?" Mason Nightshade looked around at everyone present.
No one dared to say they were disturbed.
Each person shook their head.
Mason Nightshade's gaze swept over their raised glasses, lingering for two extra seconds on the one in front of Aurelia Shaw.
Aurelia Shaw felt inexplicably guilty, akin to being caught sneaking a bite.
However, she did not plan to drink, intending to quietly switch her drink to plain water when no one was looking.
After all, it wasn't her first time doing this.
"Sit down and eat," Mason Nightshade picked up his chopsticks, reaching for a piece of sweet and sour pork ribs, instinctively wanting to put it in Aurelia Shaw's bowl. Fortunately, he remembered they were at a dinner table, and his chopsticks took a detour to his own bowl.
With Mason Nightshade saying so, it wasn't easy for anyone to bring up toasting again.
Everyone was initially a bit reserved because of Mason Nightshade's presence, but seeing him sitting quietly without speaking, they gradually became livelier.
After a few more rounds of toasting, Aurelia Shaw only sipped symbolically each time.
Was it her imagination? Each time she sipped her drink, she felt Mason Nightshade watching her, as if if she took an extra sip, he would snatch her glass away and give her a stern lecture.
It made her drink with a sense of trepidation.
After dinner, everyone headed to a KTV as planned.
At this moment, Aurelia Shaw asked, "Mr. Nightshade, are you coming too? A place like KTV might not be suitable for you."
Her tone was polite and courteous, and everyone's eyes flickered between the two of them.
Who didn't know these two were divorced, and their relationship remained somewhat delicate? Would Mr. Nightshade get angry and directly blacklist Aurelia Shaw?
It wasn't an impossibility.
Mr. Nightshade had never shown leniency to anyone in the business world. The divorce was likely initiated by Aurelia Shaw, considering everything Mr. Nightshade had done for her. The fact that he agreed to the divorce... they silently prayed for Aurelia Shaw in their hearts.
Mason Nightshade looked at her, "Do you want me to go?"
Aurelia Shaw's smile was poised yet polite, "That's not my decision to make. I was just thinking the KTV we're going to might not match the standards you're used to, and you might find it uncomfortable."
That smile pierced Mason Nightshade's heart.
Even though he knew she was putting on a show for the others, he never wanted to see such a cold and unfamiliar expression directed at him on her face.
And also...
In the middle of the night, she was going to KTV with these people and even wanted to send him away.
