Sweet Wife So Charming: CEO: Hold Back Your Heart-Chapter 371: Drinking

Just as he was about to speak, Aiden Webb tapped her hand under the table, then reached for a wine glass and drank it in one gulp.

He turned the wine glass upside down in front of the producer, casting a cold glance over.

The people exchanged glances silently, while some actresses looked at Moira Young with a hint of envy.

The producer flinched, quickly changing his expression to a smile, and laughed awkwardly, "Oh my, it seems Professor Webb wants to play the hero saving the damsel in distress today. Alright, alright, I’ll give you face today. Come, everyone, let’s continue eating, drinking, and having fun."

Moira Young turned her head and smiled at Aiden Webb.

Watching their actions, Ruby felt a wave of disgust in her heart. Why? Who does Moira Young think she is? Julian Sinclair is one thing, but now even Aiden Webb is standing up for her. Is it that every man is willing to step in for her?

Feeling unwilling, she stared viciously at the person across, and after a while, casually opened her mouth, "Hey, do you think it’s amazing how some people can always have men revolving around them?"

Everyone at the table was sharp, and after exchanging a glance, one joked, "Ruby, aren’t you praising yourself?"

Ruby giggled prettily, her eyes slightly raised, "I don’t have such capabilities. I’m not the most charming one here."

"Ruby is being humble," someone at the table teased.

"How could I be? I’ve always been aware of my capabilities. Unlike some people who lack self-awareness, even after going abroad, they’re still out messing around in the middle of the night."

As she raised her voice slightly, she continued, "It’s so chaotic abroad, who knows what you’ll encounter. As a girl, do you think it might be like the news reports, where one moment of inattention and something happens..."

Moira Young, hearing Ruby’s baseless accusations and slanders, held back the agitated Joe who wanted to fight, and calmly shook her head. She wasn’t in the mood for more trouble now.

Everyone blushed and laughed, not sure what they were imagining.

Suddenly, someone called out, looking tremblingly at the man standing behind Ruby, "Pro-Professor Webb."

Ruby immediately turned her head and stood up, "Aiden Webb."

She spoke, effortfully pulling a pretty smile on her face.

Aiden Webb raised his wine glass coldly, and Ruby hurriedly took a glass handed by her assistant, smiling as she clinked glasses with Aiden Webb.

She felt an unstoppable sense of pride, sweeping a glance around. She never expected Aiden Webb to come and toast her. Ha, she wanted to see who dared to disrespect her in this crew from then on.

After the woman across took a sip, Aiden Webb said coldly, "I hope it can wash your mouth well." After saying this, he placed the glass in Ruby’s hand, coldly turned around, and sat back.

"Oh my god, Aiden really is worthy of being a three-time Best Actor, he’s indeed the man I’m a fan of, so handsome," Joe excitedly shook Moira Young’s arm while glancing disdainfully at the stunned Ruby. "Tsk, Moira, a mere second lead trying to compete with you, how shameless."

Moira Young felt a bit helpless, shaking her head, telling Joe to watch his words.

She turned towards Aiden Webb, who had just sat down, and lightly clinked her water glass against his wine glass, leaning in a bit, "Tea in place of wine, thank you."

At this point, it was necessary to thank Aiden Webb properly; he had helped her a lot throughout the day. However, Moira Young wasn’t a woman who simply suffered in silence. She glanced subtly at the stiff and silent Ruby sitting awkwardly, and kept the matter in her heart, intending to address it in the future.

After the party ended, Ruby stormed back to her room in anger, smashing everything in the room fiercely. Her eyes were red, clenching her hand palm hard. "Moira Young, you’re something, huh," she thought, pounding the table harshly again.

"Remember to eat, rest well, and don’t stay up late."

Looking at the text Aiden Webb sent, Moira Young smiled warmly, her heart feeling cozy, and she dutifully replied.

Over the next couple of days, Aiden Webb, worried, stayed with her during meals. Though he didn’t say much, she knew he was comforting her, and her mood gradually improved, the coldness in her heart slowly enveloped with warmth layer by layer.

At the Film Set.

"Hmm, very good, cut." Marcus Mercer stood up, looking at Moira Young walking over with satisfaction. "Not bad, choosing you was indeed the right choice."

He said with some concern, "Are you recovered?"

Moira Young, sitting there watching the monitor, nodded with a cheerful smile.

This girl’s condition could

"Hey, have you heard?"

In the distance, a few women in costumes sat together, looking over at Aiden Webb, who was attending despite not having a scene today.

"You know about it too?"

They glanced at each other knowingly, a chorus of tsk-tsking.

"Oh my god, didn’t see it before, but are they really together?"

"No way, then what about Moira Young and AE’s president?"

"My goodness, she’s leading two guys on at once, amazing, isn’t she."

"I’d be willing too if I could have two dream guys at the same time," one girl said, clutching her chest in a lovestruck manner.

"Oh, give it a rest. If this spreads online, who knows how people would flame her." Saying this, one of them pointed towards Moira Young in the distance.

Everyone looked over, shaking their heads, "Yeah, her acting career might be ruined by then. Fans of Aiden Webb are intense."

Unwittingly walking behind the wall, Ruby sneered coldly, a mischievous smile on her lips. So, the rumor was spreading fast indeed. Adjusting the hair in front of her, she turned around, leaving proudly and quietly.

Moira Young, let’s see what tricks you have left now, heh.

"Director."

"Ruby has arrived." Marcus Mercer gestured towards Ruby. "Come, have a look at Moira’s recent performance."

Ruby gritted her teeth, her eyes sweeping disdainfully over Moira Young sitting to the side, replying with a fake smile, "Yes, Director."

She turned to Moira Young, forcing a cold smile, "I’ll be counting on your guidance from now on, Moira." 𝓯𝙧𝓮𝓮𝒘𝓮𝙗𝙣𝒐𝒗𝒆𝓵.𝓬𝓸𝒎

Moira Young nonchalantly waved her hand, not bothering to engage with her.

After the afternoon shoot, Ruby rushed back to the hotel, not even bothering to eat and without allowing her assistant to follow.

"Hello."

Upon hearing the man’s voice on the other end, Ruby feigned a sob, pinching her thigh hard to bring tears to her eyes, "Mr. Alden, you have to help me."

"Oh dear, my darling, what’s wrong, who bullied you," Mr. Alden patted his belly, listening to Ruby’s coquettish voice, his body half-swooned, his eyes flirtatious with laughter.

"It’s Moira Young, not only did she steal my role, but she also humiliated me in front of everyone."
