Sweet Wife So Charming: CEO: Hold Back Your Heart-Chapter 384: Reunion

Sure enough, the result turned out far better than expected, Marcus couldn’t help but praise, "Moira, why don’t you mentor some newcomers? It’s simply good!"

But Moira Young modestly smiled and pushed Melody forward: "Actually, it’s not just me; Aiden has always been helping me."

After saying this, Melody nodded in agreement with her.

Listening to them, Marcus furrowed his brow as though he found it hard to believe.

Aiden has always been cold to everyone, even to me as the director. Could he really agree to teach Moira Young’s Melody?

Nevertheless, he didn’t ask much and praised, "Although it’s better than before, you still need to work hard. There’s a lot of room for improvement."

Upon hearing Marcus’s words, Melody looked even more excited than when she first joined the entertainment circle.

Moira Young also felt genuinely happy for her, but remembered the dinner with Aiden, and asked if Melody wanted to join.

Before she could speak, the sound of high heels on the floor interrupted, followed by playful laughter, "Just a few compliments and you’re over the moon?"

Turning around, she realized it was the person from yesterday. After the director’s performance, she spoke proudly, "At least I’ve made progress."

Everyone exchanged glances, then burst into laughter, shaking with mirth.

One of them exaggeratedly wiped tears from her eyes, "Such a newbie, you know nothing, and just one compliment got you all thrilled."

Moira Young wasn’t inclined to talk to them, let alone finding trouble, so she stepped up and shielded Melody in her arms.

Seeing this, they teased even more, "Only Moira Young would protect you; once you’re in another crew, who’ll have your back?"

Simply relying on having connections upstairs, otherwise what’s Melody worth?

"What’s wrong? Do you want the director to change her too?" Moira Young said coldly, her eyes turning sharp like swords, staring at each person present.

They were startled by her gaze, instinctively backing a few steps, even gasping—was this the Moira Young they knew?

Taking advantage of the break, Moira Young immediately left with Melody, leaving the others in a daze.

"Really, not giving up till the bitter end; her wings must’ve hardened," sighed the leading one discontentedly after Moira Young left.

Seeing Melody’s aggrieved expression, Moira Young felt heartbroken, gently comforting her, "It’s okay, don’t be scared, I’m here for you."

Melody put away her troubled look and nodded vigorously; luckily, she met Moira Young.

The others fell silent, about to leave, when they suddenly felt the surrounding air grow colder.

They turned back in unison to see Aiden standing there looking sullen.

"None of you fancy having your boxed lunches for lunch, right?" He, an idol to everyone, unexpectedly said this.

He has never been close with anyone, but this time he stood up for Moira Young, indicating the situation was complex.

The leading woman felt furious but stomped before leaving.

After all, Aiden is someone she couldn’t provoke, his mere few words could get her dismissed from the crew.

Moira Young left with Melody, and upon leaving, Melody finally sighed in relief: "Thank you for standing up for me just now."

"What’s to thank for? Really." After saying this, Moira Young took out her phone, intending to call Aiden, for the scheduled dinner...

But the call was always in progress, and after a few attempts, Moira Young decisively gave up.

This guy is probably busy with something else, looks like this matter needs to be postponed for a few days.

Just after hanging up, Melody’s phone rang.

"Really? Okay, hmm, see you later then."

After the call, Melody hung up sweetly, leaving Moira Young curious. Before she could ask, Melody said, "Carter is here; he came especially to see me and wants to invite me to dinner, asking if you’d join?"

Moira Young froze for a moment, almost disbelieving.

It’s fine for them to dine together, but why invite me?

Just about to refuse, Melody continued, "Might as well take this opportunity to call Aiden along, save arranging another one-time dinner."

She dreaded the fuss, preferring to gather everyone for a meal, but Moira Young shook her head; where Aiden’s good in every way, he’s incompatible with others.

If those two men dined together, it would probably freeze the air.

Before Moira Young could state her reasons, Melody already dialed Aiden’s number.

Previously responding with "mm" and hanging up, Moira Young expected Aiden would decline; surprisingly, Melody joyously grabbed her hand: "He agreed to come with us."

Upon hearing this, Moira Young’s face fell instantly; earlier despite calling, he wouldn’t answer.

What’s this man suddenly joining them for? Could there be something else...

She dared not think further, joining Melody in taking a car to their dinner place.

Carter had arrived early, waving to them inside the restaurant.

"Why are you here so early?" Melody rushed over and hugged him, excitement written all over her face.

Carter held Melody in his arms; after a long separation, he looked naturally affectionate.

After all, their contact was through messaging these days; Melody hadn’t had time for phone calls.

They ordered food, wondering how to inform Carter about another man’s presence.

Outside, a black car gleamed, dazzling Moira Young’s eyes.

The man getting out was dazzling, his handsome profile causing the women to swoon.

Is it a rented car? Moira Young shook her head and sighed.

Upon entering and removing his sunglasses, Moira Young quickly pulled him to sit: "Do you know you’re famous in Vesperia? Aren’t you afraid of paparazzi capturing you like this?"

After complaining, Moira Young quickly called the waiter over.

Carter was chatting with Melody, but upon seeing the man, he froze in shock.

The man seemed familiar; the name almost slipped out, but his gaze pushed it back.

Judging by Carter’s expression, he didn’t wish his identity unveiled, so he swallowed and continued talking to Melody.
