Top Actress Beware: Also Reborn Is Your CEO Husband!-Chapter 816: Separated by Distance

Mason Nightshade swallowed down his desire to pin her down, lock her up, keep her with him where he could always see her. His voice was deep and commanding as he spoke: "You have to call me every day."

"That’s a non-negotiable condition," he added.

"Alright," Aurelia Shaw seemed to be in a good mood, she agreed with a smile.

Mason’s mood eased a bit, "Call me as soon as you arrive there."

"Alright." Why is Mason such a nag today? 𝕗𝚛𝚎𝚎𝐰𝗲𝗯𝗻𝚘𝚟𝚎𝗹.𝕔𝐨𝕞

For the first time, Mason felt the pain of a long-distance relationship; he truly wished he could go with her if only he didn’t have a heap of troublesome matters to deal with here.

Seeing him fall silent, Aurelia said, "I have to go now, I’m running out of time."

Mason remained silent for a moment, nodding, "Okay."

Aurelia smiled lightly when she saw his rigid expression, mischievously kissed the corner of his mouth, quickly pulled back, slammed the door shut, and strode into the airport with her luggage.

Mason’s eyes flared up with anger.

Damn it!

Always knowing how to ignite his fire!

Gustavo Yates, sitting in the driver’s seat, silently stared at the rearview mirror. Boss, your grin is practically reaching the heavens; stop pretending to be angry.

"Boss, His Excellency the President is urging you again." Gustavo Yates spoke up weakly.

Mason’s face turned instantly dark, "The person in the Capital City is beyond his control, and now he’s come to me to clean up the mess."

Gustavo Yates wiped his sweat. Boss, you’re probably the only one daring enough to speak about His Excellency the President like this.

The day after Aurelia arrived in City A, the film crew started filming.

Aurelia met Yvaine’s new actress in the crew—a woman who looked somewhat similar to Eleanor Spencer, with a pure and serene appearance, a few years older than her.

Aurelia had seen this face often in TV dramas; though the woman was only four or five years older, she had been in the entertainment industry for nearly ten years, having debuted as a child star. This year, she was nominated for Best Actress alongside Eleanor Spencer.

With Eleanor Spencer’s incident, as a fellow nominee, she benefited the most.

Of course, part of the online smear against Eleanor might have had her involvement.

Someone who appears serene and gentle might not necessarily have a matching inner life.

"Hello." As the junior, Aurelia greeted her proactively.

Emily Stewart scrutinized her with a glance.

That look could definitely be described as unfriendly.

After a fleeting glimpse, she let out a brief "Hmm" from her throat, saying, "I watched your last series. Your acting is decent. I hope you can keep it up and don’t drag me down."

Is she... giving me a hard time?

Aurelia chuckled softly, unfazed, but Amanda Fuller retorted in dissatisfaction, "What’s with her attitude! Just because she was nominated she thinks she’s something special? She’s only a nominee and hasn’t won the Best Actress award yet."

Aurelia glanced in the direction Emily Stewart was departing and sighed, "You’re obviously older than me; why are you less composed? The entertainment industry is inherently a place of survival of the fittest; even if you have talent, those who truly make it are few. If these words are overheard by her, unnecessary trouble is inevitable.

I’m not afraid; I just think it’s unnecessary.

My popularity from ’Dawnsong’ exceeds hers, and although her career might be stronger than mine, I understand her wanting to intimidate me. You can’t expect someone to greet a competitor with a smile, right?

That would be too fake, and I wouldn’t believe it."
