The heartthrob has turned neurotic, a transition Lily Gray was struggling to accept.
But, regardless.
Redington’s acting skills were without a doubt exceptional.
In ‘The Tale of The Beloved Mistress’, the lead male character is a monarch. This emperor in the original story was born with purple hair and blue eyes, an extraordinary imperial appearance unlike any other.
Redington’s acting skills surpassed those of many young actors in Eastonia. His deep-set features, handsome looks, and unusual eye color were a perfect match.
If he was willing to take on this role, he would undoubtedly be the best candidate.
Even after meeting the real Redington and finding out he had a bad temper, for the sake of this drama, Lily Gray had no choice but to simmer down and cook him some noodles.
She pulled a small bundle of green onions and some vegetables from the refrigerator.
She poured water into the pot and, while waiting for it to boil, finely chopped the onions and prepared the vegetables.
Once the water was boiling, she dropped the noodles into the pot. When they were about ready, she scooped out the noodles along with the soup and poured them into a bowl.
Then she blanched the vegetables in the pot, took them out, and spread them over the white noodles, sprinkled on the chopped onions, and added a spoonful of hot soup.
Although Redington wasn’t skilled in the kitchen, various seasonings filled his kitchen counter nonetheless.
From them, Lily Gray found a bottle of sesame oil and drizzled a small amount over the noodles.
Instantly, the air was filled with the tempting aroma of the dish.
She seldom cooked, and the only culinary skill she had mastered was making noodles.
Seeing her “masterpiece” finished, a satisfied smile crept onto Lily Gray’s face.
Just as she was about to carry the bowl to the dining table, her cell phone in her bag suddenly rang.
She had to put down the bowl and walked over to dig out her cell phone from her bag.
Glancing downwards, she saw it was a call from Aidan Lucas.
Despite having done nothing out of the ordinary, her heart inexplicably skipped a beat…seems like…she was feeling a bit nervous.
What in the world was she nervous about!?
Pouting, Lily Gray picked up the call.
“Took you long enough to answer, still lazing in bed?” From the other end of the line, Aidan Lucas’ deep and sultry voice was lightly tinged with fondness.
“No.” Lily Gray switched postures, leaning against the kitchen counter, “1 was busy with something.”
“Already busy this early?” He had purposely held off calling until a bit later, fearing that he might wake her and wanting her to get some more sleep.
Unexpectedly, the woman was already up and about early in the morning.
“Yes. There’s a lot happening on the company front, so I had to wake up early to take care of work matters.”
Lily Gray didn’t lie. From her perspective, talking to Redington was work-related.
“If you can’t handle things at the company, just tell Secretary Maggie. Maggie is highly capable, don’t force yourself to handle everything when I’m not around. If you run into any troubles, remember to seek her help.”
Aidan Lucas didn’t follow entertainment news, nor was he accustomed to using Twitter.
He wasn’t yet privy to Vivian Walters stirring up public sentiment to attack the Gray family’s business.
He simply thought that Lily Gray was unaccustomed to taking over the company’s business operations.
“Mmm…” Lily Gray made a nasal sound, concealing the crisis at Gray’s company.
She didn’t want to lean on Aidan Lucas for everything.
She had her own plans.
After all, their contractual period was less than a year, and it wouldn’t be possible to rely on this man forever.
“Be good, don’t make me worry.” He sensed her decreased enthusiasm.
Aidan Lucas rarely softened his tone, coaxing her, “Once I wrap up things here, 1’11 come back.”
That woman, she might be missing him already.
“Mmm, it’s fine, work takes priority.” Lily Gray felt like she wasn’t being sincere.
For a moment just now, she almost wanted to say that she missed him and wished he would return soon.
But fortunately, she managed to hold back those words just as they were about to slip out of her mouth.
If she had said that out loud, Aidan Lucas would probably have laughed at her..
