The director gave a knowing smirk. "That's exactly the dynamic we're going for. As for friends, we never said they had to be industry pals. I think Aria would be perfect."
Vanessa didn't answer immediately. "Let me check with Aria first."
"Alright, no rush."
Inside the private dining room.
The private dining room was wrapped in such a thick, stifling silence, it felt as if someone had hit the mute button. Even the waitstaff delivering food instinctively slowed their steps, moving with exaggerated caution.
Willie was about to speak up, but seeing the stormy look on Tina's face, he thought better of it.
Dinner ended in heavy silence, and the four of them left together.
Aria and Owen walked ahead, while Tina and Willie trailed a few paces behind.
"Are you heading back tonight?" Aria asked Owen.
"Tomorrow's Saturday. I'll head back Sunday afternoon. Since I'm already here, might as well stay a couple more days." Owen gazed into the distance, asking with feigned casualness, "Which hotel are you staying at?"
Aria paused briefly before answering, "The hotel at the film studio... you...?"
Aria asked, "Are you heading there too?"
Owen felt a strange nervousness grip him and nodded. "The film studio complex in Kanit City has replica a palace sets. I thought I'd spend tomorrow exploring the area first."
The implication was that he was staying at the film studio hotel.
Listening to their stilted, awkward exchange, Tina rolled her eyes and stepped forward. "What he really means is, he wants to share a room with you."
Owen's heart seized up, his Adam's apple bobbing hard as he choked out, "No!"
Aria rolled her eyes and shot Tina a withering glare. "Stop jumping to conclusions. We're not together."
"Seriously?"
Tina glanced at Owen's poorly concealed expression, then at Aria's indifferent, wooden stare.
"Hahaha!"
She stood there, doubled over with uncontrollable laughter, her whole body shaking.
Tina never expected that Aria, despite being divorced, turned out to be such a stiff, unresponsive person.
She was really fed up with her.
Aria rolled her eyes.
Was it really that funny?
Tina gave Owen a somewhat sympathetic look, but a trace of glee at his misfortune flickered in his eyes.
"Poor Owen..." she drew out the words and walked away in a very good mood.
Willie hurried after her, casting a quick glance at Aria as he passed by.
She wasn't lying to him. She really was single.
After dinner, Willie realized that Aria was the quiet type.
But they hit it off right away when they first met, so she probably had feelings for him.
'Good thing I got her contact info,' Willie thought to himself.
Willie tore his gaze away and hurried after Tina.
Owen caught the look on Willie's face. After a moment's hesitation, he said, "Willie doesn't seem all that trustworthy."
Aria asked, "You noticed that too?"
'So she knew all along,' Owen realized.
His eyes crinkled with a smile.
As they passed by a hotel, Owen came to a stop. "I think I'll stay here tonight."
Owen noticed Aria had no intention of stopping and figured she was staying at another hotel.
After Tina's blunt remark just now, Owen figured it would be way too awkward to share a room with Aria.
Aria looked at Owen, her eyes deep with thought. "How about we walk a bit further and stay somewhere else?"
"Sure, that works," Owen replied calmly.
From the moment they met at the film studio gates, Aria had been quietly studying Owen.
For the first time, she witnessed how quickly a person's expression could shift in mere seconds.
His eyes brightened briefly before returning to normal. Noticing her watching him, he quickly averted his gaze and checked his watch. "It's eight. Are you heading straight back?"
His tone was deliberately casual, no different from usual.
He looked at her, his gaze deliberately blank and calm.
It was as if what had just happened was merely a figment of Aria's imagination.
Owen liked her.
Aria was certain of it now.
Maybe he realized she had no feelings for him, so he kept his feelings hidden.
Aria's fingers tightened unconsciously, a whirl of emotions churning within her.
Vanessa didn't answer immediately. "Let me check with Aria first."
