My Beloved Has Risen from Death’s Embrace

“Mr. Lockwood came to the set and brought afternoon tea for everyone!”

“Wow, this is so lavish! There’s Earl Grey tea, truffle pâté, and cakes from the Grand Bakery. I’ve never had such an afternoon tea this upscale before!”

“Who is Mr. Lockwood here to visit today? We’re really lucky!”

“Who else could it be? It’s definitely our lead actress, Phoenix. I heard that she managed to secure the Gallop Glade Ranch from Mr. Lockwood for shooting last time. Such a luxurious place, and all she needed was to say one word and it’s done!”

“Mr. Lockwood?”

In front of the camera, Kevin saw Orion and quickly ran over with a big smile, “Are you here to visit Xan? She’s in the dressing room, let me take you there!”

“How’s the filming going today?”

“Are you asking about Xan? You wouldn’t believe it, she had some difficulties with her romantic scene yesterday; it had me worried sick. But then after giving her an afternoon off, she returned and nailed it, as if she was touched by magic. I even joked that she must have been in love overnight!”

“Really?” This belongs to NôvelDrama.Org.

A slight smile appeared on Orion’s lips, his eyes sparkling up with pleasure.

“Absolutely.”

As Kevin spoke, he looked up and saw Orion’s smile, wondering if he was seeing things.

Was Mr. Lockwood smiling? After knowing him for years, it was a first. Could he possibly be in love too?

“Alright.”

Benjamin nodded, managing a small smile and handed her the mug he’was holding, “My assistant told me you broke your mug. You’ve been so busy, probably haven’t had the time to buy another one yet, right?”

Xanthea looked at the limited summer edition of the TASTE mug in his hands, recalling how he used “brushing away a feather” as an excuse to touch her head last night. For a moment, she was hesitatant to accept it.

“What’s wrong? You don’t want to bother me, and you’re not even willing to take a mug from me? In that case, I should return that expensive gift you gave me last time.”

“No, no.”

Xanthea shook her head and took the mug.

There was still a chance for him before Xanthea and Orion made their relationship public, right?

Benjamin watched her and couldn’t help asking, “Xan, I’ve always wanted to ask you, what do you feel for?”

“Xan!”

Before he could finish, Director Smith’s voice rang out from outside the door.

Xanthea turned to look and saw Kevin excitedly heading towards her dressing room, followed.by Orion?!

She panicked for a moment, glanced at Benjamin, and then at the mug in her hand, hastily setting it down as if to clear any misunderstanding.

Orion entered the dressing room and upon seeing Benjamin, the smile in his eyes momentarily paused.

Kevin said: “What a coincidence? Ben’s here too?”

“Ah.” Xanthea quickly explained, “He came over to discuss the script with me!”

“Let’s hold the discussion for now, Xan. Mr. Lockwood came especially to visit you today and even treated the whole crew to afternoon tea!”

He came especially for her?

Xanthea looked at him puzzled.

He was holding a designer gift bag and a clear, exquisite box, likely filled with food, possibly made by himself?

“Orion, what brings you here?”

Orion only paused for one second, and then swapped his frozen expression for a warm smile, “Xan, I was concerned that after keeping you up so late last night, you might be low on energy, so I decided to cook something and bring it over.”
