Chapter 549: AFTER A BATH
LAUREN was having a relaxing bath when the news of him being nominated for Silver Moon Awards was released. Since he didn't have the habit of bringing his Terminal to the bathroom, he had no idea about this. Right now, he was still lounging in his bathtub, drinking wine.
After an exhausting day, indulging in a long bath was truly the best. Lauren could feel the tiredness in his muscles slowly melting away. He wanted to thank whoever invented the therapeutic salt bath. Compared to ordinary salt baths, it had more benefits, and the effect was also a hundred times better.
He put down the glass of wine on the side, leaned back, and closed his eyes. He had been so busy at the start of this year that he hardly had any break.
After entering the top 50 of the [Star List], a lot of offers came and his agent accepted all of it. He knew that the other did that so he could easily retain his current rank. After all, the easiest way to do it was to stay relevant. None of the offers were also bad, so he didn't make a fuss about it. But that didn't mean it wasn't exhausting.
He was so busy, he barely had time to go out and have fun. The only time he did was when Astrid invited him for a little celebration dinner at his apartment building. And that's just for a few hours!
He couldn't even have a proper talk with Reas.
No- wait, that's not really the point.
Was it? - heart.
Of course, you stupid heart! - brain.
Lauren shook his head. Why was he making up conversation between his organs? DId he have too much wine?
He decided to finish his bath and quickly go to sleep. He's obviously too tired to think cohesively. It's better to just rest.
He's definitely not downplaying all those awards he had won. He's thankful for each and every one of them. He's just simply pointing out that being nominated and winning at one of the three major film awards was of a different magnitude.
Even if the Silver Moon Awards was the least focused on acting among the three major film awards, winning there would still be a great boost for one's career. Not to mention, a validation for one's own effort.
After calming down a bit, he decided to call Chris to get more details. But before he could, someone called him first. The moment he saw who it was, he forgot that he was about to call Chris and just found himself answering the call first.
Then a man with ice blue hair and teal-gray eyes appeared on his virtual screen.
"Lauren, congrats--"
Reas was about to congratulate Lauren when he noticed that the other was wearing a bathrobe. Although Lauren was fully covered, he somehow felt awkward all of a sudden. Similar to the feeling of seeing something he shouldn't have seen. Which was very stupid. Because there's absolutely nothing in front of him that should make him feel embarrassed. And yet, here he was.
Blushing over a bathrobe.
He averted his gaze and cleared his throat. "Congratulations on being nominated."
Because of too much excitement and happiness, Lauren didn't notice anything weird and just grinned. "Thank you. Ah, right, you said Aster is also nominated, right? I just came out of the bath, so I haven't really read any posts or articles yet. But was it for rookie of the year?"
Reas, who tried to get his mind out of the gutter at the mention of 'bath', nodded with a serious expression.
Once again, Lauren didn't notice anything and just said, "Our pairing must have been really well received if both of us were nominated."
"It's not just because of that," Reas said indignantly, as if he didn't agree. "It's because both of you did a great job in your roles."
