Chapter 550: REAS' CONVINCING HIMSELF
AND Reas was not just saying that because one was his brother and the other was a friend. It was because their acting was so effective that they were able to give justice to the role. To the point that many people thought they would make a great couple.
Of course, chemistry might have something to do with it. But he didn’t want Lauren to only attribute it to that. It definitely wasn’t because he didn’t want the other to think that his pairing with Astrid was special.
Yes, it’s not because of that.
As he was busily convincing himself, Lauren, on the other hand, was already feeling moved by Reas’ words.
“Thank you,” he said. “But seriously, a part of why my character in [The Sleeping God] was received that well was because of Aster. If the one who played the role of ‘god’ was someone else, it probably wouldn’t have the same effect. That’s why this nomination would not be possible without him.”
Well, if Lauren thought so, it would be weird if Reas insisted that that wasn’t the case.
“Ah, right. I haven’t congratulated Aster yet,” Lauren said, as if only remembering about it. “You probably have already congratulated him.”
Reas scratched his cheek awkwardly. Although he did send a message to his brother, congratulating him for being nominated, Lauren was actually the one he called first.
No, he actually tried to call Astrid first. But he thought the other must be busy answering calls from their parents, as well as the general. So, he thought it would be okay to call Lauren first.
Yes, that’s definitely the reason and not because he couldn’t wait to congratulate the other.
He just chose not to respond to that comment just to be on the safe side.
“Hey, Reas, if I win this award, shouldn’t you treat me to a meal?” Lauren suddenly said with a teasing grin. “If I lost, then I’ll treat you instead.”
Reas raised a brow. “Don’t you think that’s a bit unfair?”
“What’s an unfair in that?” Lauren pouted. “If I win, you’ll treat me to a meal. If I lose, then I will treat you. Isn’t that very fair?”
“How is that fair when it’s almost certain that you will win?”
Lauren stopped and then burst out laughing. “Certain? Are you planning to bribe the judges to let me win?”
“I don’t need to do that. With how great you are in that role, only a blind judge will not choose you as the winner.”
Reas stated it with such unwavering confidence that even Lauren found himself starting to believe in his inevitable victory. A smile crept across his face, and a warmth spread in his heart. This guy had a way of saying things that unexpectedly made him feel fuzzy and giddy.
“Then I’ll be expecting you to treat me to a pretty good meal,” he could only say at the end.
