Top Actress Beware: Also Reborn Is Your CEO Husband!

"Everyone out!" Aurelia Shaw waved her hand, shooing all the servants away.

Mrs. Li glanced back at Aurelia Shaw with resentment, you vile woman, you'll get what's coming to you sooner or later!

Once the servants left, Aurelia Shaw got busy picking, washing, and cutting vegetables. It had been a long time since she last cooked, and her skills were a bit rusty. Sigh... She really didn't like cooking, whether in her past life or now. No matter how obsessed she was with food, she still didn't like doing the cooking herself.

Indeed, eating is far more enjoyable than cooking.

Even though she thought this way, she still spent several hours preparing a whole table of dishes.

The aroma of the food filled the dining room, and the servants stared in disbelief at the lavish spread; this spoiled young lady could actually cook!

Mrs. Li was even more envious and bitter, wishing she could turn the table over in disgust.

Aurelia Shaw rested her chin as she sat at the dining table, lazily lifting her gaze to the clock on the wall. Mason Nightshade should be back soon, right?

Ah! Oh no!

She forgot to ask Mason Nightshade if he'd be coming back tonight beforehand.

Even though Mason Nightshade had been coming back promptly for several nights, he might just be experiencing a temporary novelty, and once that wore off, he might go back to how he was before.

Though she'd be happy if he did, if he doesn't come back tonight, wouldn't all this cooking be for nothing?

Aurelia Shaw found Mason Nightshade's number and dialed, listening to the "beep beep" waiting sound coming from the phone. She thought as she waited: would he refuse to answer if he saw it was her calling?

That used to happen often.

Aurelia Shaw somewhat regretted not having a servant call him directly to ask.

"Beep beep..."

The phone continued to ring.

In the Nightshade Corporation's top-floor CEO office, the sound of keyboard typing echoed, "tap tap," as Mason Nightshade focused intently on his computer, his jawline tense, unaware of the phone vibrating endlessly beside him.

Once Mason Nightshade was deep into his work, it was hard for anything else to distract him.

"Boss..." Gustavo Yates noticed the incessant phone vibration and reminded him aloud, "Your phone has been ringing for a while, it seems to be an important call."

Mason Nightshade finally snapped out of his concentration, glancing at the phone, his eyes flickering, and immediately paused his work to answer the call. His eyebrows relaxed, and his tone softened a bit, "What's up?"

Gustavo Yates glanced at him, a look of disbelief on his face. This was the boss? The boss only ever smiled gently when about to land a target, so whenever they saw him smile, it sent a chill down their spine.

But...

That was before, now, just hearing the boss's tone, it was obvious this call came from the Young Madam.

"When are you coming back?" Aurelia Shaw asked.

Mason Nightshade glanced at the pile of documents on his desk, with more left unfinished. He didn't answer but instead asked back, "Was there something you needed from me?" Chаptеr sоurсе: Мy Virtuаl Librаry Еmpirе (М|V|L4ЕМРYR).

Aurelia Shaw looked at the full spread of dishes, Amanda Fuller's words echoed unexpectedly in her ears, she hesitated for a moment, her voice softened, "I'm waiting for you for dinner, but if you're too busy, then forget it. I'll just eat by myself."

"Wait for me." Mason Nightshade said before Aurelia Shaw could finish, his lips involuntarily curving a bit, whispering again, "You must wait for me."

After hanging up the phone, Mason Nightshade began to tidy up the desk, saving the documents on the computer, shutting down the computer, and getting ready to leave.

Gustavo Yates saw this and asked, "Boss, are you leaving? There's a lot of work today."

Mason Nightshade didn't reply to him, but instead tossed a bunch of stuff onto his desk, "Investigate the data from these things before clocking out today."
