My Stand-In Groom Is A Secret Tycoon (Audrey)

Audrey was startled with wide eyes.

Without thinking further, she grabbed Alistair's arm and ran down the fire escape.

Alistair shook his head frustratedly, following her.

The two ran out of the recording building and found the streets brightly lit, with many pedestrians.

With so many people around, Audrey felt too shy to keep holding Alistair's hand.

But as soon as she let go, Alistair grabbed her hand back and pointed to the small park nearby, signaling Audrey to follow him.

The park had a small grove, a favorite spot for young couples to meet up at night.

Even though they were a legally married couple, being pulled by Alistair to this secluded area where they could still hear the far-off sound of traffic gave Audrey a thrill of embarrassment.

When they entered the grove, Alistair pressed her against a tree, kissing her with an exhilarating intensity that filled her mind with excitement and nervousness.

Her breathing quickened, and she pushed against Alistair's shoulder, leaning on him uneasily and saying, "Stop it; let's hurry back. If someone finds out we've snuck out, it'll be bad.'

If the show crew found out they snuck out for a private meeting, they'd definitely gossip about them.

Alistair gently stroked her hair and softly reassured her, "Don't worry; the power will be back in a few more minutes."

Hearing this, Audrey looked up at him curiously and asked, "How do you know how long the power will be out?"

She wondered if this power outage had been his way of arranging a private meeting with her on purpose. Thinking of this possibility, Audrey felt a bit frustrated. With so much equipment and so many people from the production crew, the loss they suffered from a few minutes of a power outage could be significant.

In her opinion, Alistair's behavior was nothing different from that of a clueless ruler from ancient times, and she had become the seducing woman now.

He answered, "The production crew sent me a message saying the equipment needs maintenance, so the power will be off for about ten minutes."

Audrey felt relieved, upon hearing that he didn't have the power turned off on purpose.

She played with his hand and softly asked, "So why did you suddenly come to the set? I was surprised when I saw you this afternoon."

Alistair suddenly raised his hand to touch his nose at the question.

He was too embarrassed to admit

he came because he was jealous, so he said Kieran asked me to fill in for a mentor who was scheduled by the staff but was unexpectedly unable to come."

Audrey gave a knowing smile, wanting to ask more, but then her lips were sealed.

He said, "Honey, time is precious; let's do something else instead."

Audrey was speechless.noveldrama

Alistair said he would take Audrey back before the power came on.

In the end, it wasn't until two minutes after the power came back that he reluctantly let her rush back to her dorm.

Fortunately, she didn't run into anyone along the way.

When she pushed open the dorm

door, she saw Leila sitting in the living room waiting for her. The moment Leila saw her, she gave a knowing look and a mischievous smile. en

Audrey quickly diverted her gaze, not giving her a chance to speak, and hurriedly said, "The performance is tomorrow night. Get some rest and recharge."

With that, she dashed into her room without waiting for Leila to respond.

Leila thought, 'Audie came back so early? Maybe Alistair needs to up his game.'

*****

The next morning was filled with intense training as usual.

However, Audrey and Alistair had great synergy, and with the help of skilled teammates like Leila and Yelimia, rehearsals went smoothly.

The only issue was that Alistair didn't take his eyes off her unless he had to look away.

She worried that if this continued, she wouldn't be able to keep her relationship with Alistair a secret.

In the blink of an eye, night had fallen.

The Supergalactic Idol performance was about to begin.
