My Beloved Has Risen from Death’s Embrace

“Okay!”

The whole evening, under Samuel’s vigilant watch, Xanthea didn’t even get a chance to return a call. By the time everyone had left and she was free, it was already past one in the morning.

Lying in bed, she stared desperately at her phone. At this hour, he must be asleep.

He had called eight times.

And she hadn’t picked up a single one. Would Orion think she was who just flirts and nuns? Would he be upset?

Keeping their relationship under wraps was such a challenge!

In the northern suburbs, at the Realm of Illusions filming site.

That aftemoon, after wrapping up the day’s shoot, Kevin caught up with Xanthea as she hurried toward the dressing room. “Xan, aren’t you heading off to Adventure Blitz: Two Days, One Night soon?”

“Yeah, I need to be at the airport in half an hour”

“Make sure you’re careful out there, and I’ll definitely try to catch the live stream to support you. Oh, and don’t forget to plug our show on camera!

“Will do, of course!”

After Kevin left, Xanthea finally managed to check her phone, and the first thing she did was call Orion

The phone rang for what seemed like an etemity, just as Xanthea was about to give up, he answered..

“Drion

Her voice was filled

ed with joy and a sweet longing, but the man who responded after a few seconds was quite cold. “What’s up?” © 2024 Nôv/el/Dram/a.Org.

Stunned by his chilly detachment, Xanthea faltered. “Are you upset?”

“No”

It was clearly not a “no.” -he used to speak to her affectionately!

“Is it because I didn’t answer your calls last night? There was a reason I couldn’t!”

Onion remained silent, apparently waiting for her explanation.

But just then, Ryan walked in. “Ms. Nightshade, we need to hurry to the airport. The production team has called to hurry us, and the other guests have already arrived.”

“Oh, right, I’ll be quick” Xanthea had no time to soothe him further and hurriedly explained her situation. “Orion, I have to go film the

back? I have reality show Adventure Blitz: Two Days, One Night, and I won’t be able to use my phone. Let’s have dinner when I get something important to discuss.”

“Ms. Nightshade, if it’s urgent, you can contact my assistant.”

With that, he hung up.

Xanthea was left listening to the disconnect tone, dumbfounded,

Ms. Nightshade“? “Contact his assistant“? Why had he suddenly become so distant? He was definitely upset with her!

[Orion, I’m sorry, please don’t be mad. Let’s sort it out when I get back, however you’ll punish me.]

[Onion? On? On?

At the Twin Towers, on the sixty–sixth floor in the CEO’s office.

Cedric walked into the office holding a stack of folders, only to be struck by the dazzling smile of the man behind the desk…even a man couldn’t resist such charm!

Seeing that smitten expression, it must have something to do with Ms. Nightshade. What could he have seen about her that made him so happy!

He couldn’t help but sneak a peek and saw the word “babe“?!

Ms. Nightshade was calling the boss/babe” now?! When had their relationship progressed so rapidly?!

This could mean the boss’s long–held affection was finally being reciprocated, his dream coming true!

Xanthea sent several apologetic messages, none of which got a response. Just as she was about to call him again, her phone rang
