Chapter 95: What’s your motive?
Seeing me standing in front of him, Blake’s lips curled upwards into a smile as well as we locked eyes. "Hey, Aurelia, hey, Xavier, glad to see you here," he greeted. "Thanks for coming down to the studio," he added, smugness radiating from every inch of his skin.
I could see the way Xavier’s posture stiffened and he clenched his jaw slightly as the two men locked eyes for a brief moment.
"Yeah, of course. Xavier and I would love to see you film your first set, you have come a long way," I said nonchalantly with a smile lingering on my lips as I kept my hand on Xavier who only nodded with a slight smile. "You are doing great." For a brief moment, surprise crossed his face, as if he was shocked to hear my soft and gentle tone for once.
I could tell that my words still had some kind of effect on him. Hearing the compliments come out of my mouth, he couldn’t hold back the smile that appeared on his lips.
"Oh, well, thanks."
As soon as the words left his lips, a familiar high-pitched voice reached my ears.
"Oh hi Aurelia, you are here too?"
I glanced over to see that it was Stella who had showed up. Our gazes met and she walked over, wrapping her arm around Blake’s. The corners of her lips curving upwards into a smile as her eyes gleamed with a knowing look.
The air crackled with u spoken tension as silence lapsed between us for a brief moment before I spoke up once again.
