"You probably didn't expect this, but Albert and I attended the same school in M Nation. Did you just say my university is second-rate?" Aurelia whispered into Jovana's ear with a soft laugh, though her voice was as icy as it slowly climbed over Jovana's head.

Her expression stiffened, and she couldn't stay in the room any longer, leaving hurriedly in embarrassment.

Sitting on the sofa, Aurelia laughed with all her might, clutching her stomach.

Albert shook his head helplessly, "Just one slip and you used me like an arrow."

"Then I owe thanks to the award-winning actor's cooperation, don't I?" Aurelia laughed until tears came out of her eyes, wiping them away as her eyes turned slightly red with a hint of allure.

Albert diverted his gaze.

Sigh, he knew all along his charming junior was captivating, and it was easy to get your soul entranced by her.

"I'll take responsibility for guiding the crew, as you asked. Recently, I haven't had much to do. Since Jun returned to M Nation, I also thought of going back, but I didn't expect to encounter you here in Country Z."

With this thought, Albert's eyes deepened.

"Hey, what are you thinking?" Aurelia interrupted his thoughts, "Don't unleash your charm here or risk me pouncing on you."

Albert raised his brows with a soft smile, "With a wolf husband at home, do you dare pounce on me?"

Aurelia stroked her chin, saying earnestly, "You're right, Mason's face is handsome enough for me to look at. I can't handle another enchanting man like yourself."

Is it decent to blatantly praise another man in front of one?

Albert said, "My dear Aurelia, don't make yourself sound too innocent. Speaking of enchantment, none of us stands a chance against your allure. Even now, when your fellow actors in the entertainment industry hear of you, they display infatuated expressions.

You are the true enchantress."

Aurelia touched her stunning face, laughing merrily, "But I have no interest in M Nation men."

Initially, Aurelia thought Albert would use her to inquire about Victoria Blake, but now it seems neither he wants to ask, nor does she intend to speak.

The two silently agreed not to mention it.

...

In the afternoon, Jovana suffered.

Albert served as the acting guide, naturally having high demands. But Jovana, a newcomer, had never touched acting, with stiff performances. Caleb, wary of the Shaw and Campbell families, endured, but Albert wouldn't show such restraint.

In front of everyone, he gave Jovana a scathing critique.

Ultimately, Jovana left, covering her face in tears.

At night, Aurelia returned home, took a shower, lay on the bed, and discussed the specific details of the new play with Sawyer. By nearly ten, Mason still hadn't returned.

She called him, but his phone was off.

Occasionally, when Mason attended to something secretive, his phone would be off, so Aurelia didn't think much and went to sleep.

After an unknown amount of time, Aurelia felt someone embrace her from behind, familiar breath enveloping her as she turned to hug Mason, nestling into him to find a comfy position and continue sleeping.

"Ha, do I resemble him?" 𝓯𝓻𝓮𝙚𝙬𝓮𝙗𝒏𝙤𝒗𝙚𝙡.𝒄𝒐𝓶

The voice was cold.

Very unfamiliar.

Aurelia jolted awake with a shiver, the surrounding darkness unlit, windows somehow opened with a chilly breeze flooding in, bringing a blast of cold.

What happened just now?

Was she dreaming?

But why did it feel so real, and that man resembling Mason... who was he?
