Chapter 1583 Celebration Party
Chapter 1583 Celebration Party
“Mother, I will call my mother-in-law to share with her the good news,“ Cherish said with a smile.
“Okay, go on ahead. Call her and tell her the good news. Look how excited you are!“ Leah replied. She turned around, patted her husband's head, and told him, “Oh, I'm so forgetful already! I was so thrilled about finally having a grandchild that I forgot to share the good news with Cherish's parents.“
Cherish gave Carlos a sweet look and said, “My parents will definitely be thrilled about the news. My only concern right now is the gender of the baby. What if I give birth to a daughter?“
While Cherish was talking, she suddenly looked at Leah with a worried expression. She didn't expect that Leah, who was overwhelmed about her pregnancy, would also hear her remark.
Leah comforted in a soft voice, “Cherish, don't think about that too much. I will be happy, no matter what. I don't care about the baby's gender. Okay, now, I'm going to cook for you.“
For the past few days, Leah had been asking Cherish to stay put and not do anything. Cherish only had to sit there and have nutritious food and drinks.
When Cherish's parents heard the good news, they were overwhelmed with joy. They immediately wanted to share the story with everyone and celebrate their daughter's pregnancy. Unfortunately, when they tried to call their son to tell him about the good news, he did not answer the phone.
Perrin had an important contract to sign that night. He felt so nervous about it that he couldn't even attend Xandria's celebration party.
When the TV show titled 'You Are Out Of The Planet' starring Ray and Xandria was broadcast, it had become an immediate hit. It was known as the first work directed by Yanis, who used to be a famous actor.
Today, the director Yanis was hosting a celebration banquet at the Arch of Triumph. Since Yanis was willing to spend so much to hold a celebration banquet in such a luxurious venue, people had speculated that the director must have gained a lot of fame and fortune.
“Xandria, you're early.“ As soon as they entered the Arch Of Triumph, several beauties from the television show gathered around and greeted one another. All of them had taken the time to dress up, and they looked gorgeous. Compared with them, Xandria's ensemble looked simple and plain.
“I was afraid of getting stuck in traffic, so I decided to come here early,“ Xandria replied. Then, they went into the banquet hall.
These beautiful ladies had seldom visited such luxurious places. Their mouths opened wide in awe as they saw the beautiful interior of the venue.
“Come in, please.“ The doorman politely opened the door for Xandria with a bow. She gave a small nod in return as a show of gratitude, which made the rest of the girls cover their mouths to stifle a giggle. “Even the man standing by the door is good-looking. Oh, look over there...“
“Mr. Ruan is such a generous man. This is the very first TV series that he directed, but it is already a huge success. I'm sure when he produces a movie, he will hold a celebration banquet at the Banqueting House.“
As they entered the banquet hall, they had to resist the urge to rub their eyes to make sure they weren't just dreaming. The room was the most magnificent thing they had ever seen.
The small hall that was reserved by Yanis was significantly different from the outside in terms of decor. However, it was still gorgeous. It was enough to capture the eyes of these naive young girls.
“Wow, you all arrived so early.“
The staff who had also had to come early to make sure they could accommodate the guests offered to escort the early birds to their seats. It wasn't until then that they realized that the hall wasn't actually that small. It didn't even look that crowded despite the numerous crew members still wandering around the hall.
“Ray, I see that you've already started eating.“
“Xandria, you're here. I can't help it. The food here is delicious.“
Ray was the type of person who usually liked to keep to himself. He would often drink and eat alone. Xandria wouldn't have found him if she hadn't been feeling bored and decided to check out the food table.
“Have you tasted all thse dishes? Be careful of the paparazzi,“ Xandria suddenly reminded while looking around cautiously.
As famous stars, they knew they should behave themselves at all times. Everything they showed on camera had to look perfect, whether they were aware of the cameras or not. Their image was the most important thing for stars.
Xandria didn't expect Ray to raise his head proudly as if he didn't really care about having his picture taken. “It's not really a big deal. Everyone knows that food is the most important thing for people,“ he responded.
Then, he handed some delectable desserts to Xandria without care. “Here, help yourself to these. You should have some too.“
Hesitantly, Xandria took one piece of the dessert and took a small bite. It definitely tasted as good as it looked. Soon, they were happily chatting with each other while eating the food. The waiters were
constantly walking around the hall to serve the guests and accommodate their needs. “There are a lot of people here.“
“Yeah, most of them are Yanis's loyal fans. You should be careful. These days, it's too easy to start up a rumor about an actress being involved with their directors.“
After Ray said that, Xandria quickly lost her appetite. “Don't even joke with me. I didn't hear any such thing during filming.“
A gentle smile grew on Ray's face as he handed a glass of juice to Xandria. She looked at it curiously before he explained, “Just act as if you have been drinking. Just in case someone decides to propose a toast to you.“
It was normal to drink wine during a celebration banquet. Xandria thanked him with a smile and took the glass from him.
While the two were still chatting, there was a sudden round of applause from the crowd.
Yanis' arrival was the most anticipated one. The moment he entered, he was immediately greeted with cheers. “Mr. Ruan! Mr. Ruan!“
Even a fan called out without shame, “Honey, I love you so much!“
The person that said those words was so loud that the actors and actresses in the series couldn't help but feel embarrassed. They weren't exactly sure how to react to such a bold statement from a fan. They were wondering when they could be as successful as the director.
“Wow, Yanis is still so young. Not only is he the best actor, but also one of the best directors out there. He's so awesome!“
“He is also handsome and talented.“
Yanis, who was used to everyone doting on him and being the center of attention, waved to everyone with a grin. Then, he walked in with the producer. When he saw that Xandria was not far away, he waved to her and Ray, who was standing beside her. “Come here and join us.“
At first, Xandria hesitated. However, she graciously walked over to them when she saw that everyone was waiting. She held Yanis's hand.
In the eyes of others, their gestures felt a little ambiguous. But the rest of the actresses felt jealous. They were all imagining how wonderful it would have been if the director had invited them instead.
The people present all had their own opinions regarding the matter. They looked at each other knowingly and kept taking photos.
The MC of the event also seemed to recognize the elephant in the room. “The leading actor and actress definitely have great chemistry in the series. However, it looks like the leading actress is more suited to be with the director when they stand together. Let us all welcome the new director, Yanis!“ he introduced cheekily.
The cheers and rounds of applause didn't stop. They just came one after another. The atmosphere in the venue was lively.
Yanis excitedly picked up a glass of champagne from the tray held by a waiter and lifted it up, hinting to all the others to join him. After everyone had calmed down, he raised his glass to greet his guests and began to talk.
“Thank you all for coming to this event! Today is an important day not only for me and the producer, but also for the cast and crew who took part in the making of this series. Just now, the president of the TV
station called me and informed me that the viewer rating was high and broke a new record. I'm happy to announce that the audience of our TV Series 'You Are Out Of This Planet' has reached 3.9 points!“
Upon hearing that announcement, everyone cheered happily. Clearly, everyone was happy with such a great result. The guests screamed, clinked their glasses, and congratulated each other.
The people were in a festive mood. Yanis clinked glasses with Ray and Xandria. Then, he took a small sip and quietly looked at Xandria. Exclusive © material by Nô(/v)elDrama.Org.
She looked stunning tonight. The simple dress that she wore complimented her slender figure and fit her body perfectly. She looked like an angel in Yanis's eyes. The director looked at her tenderly.
While he stared at her, he started to imagine how wonderful it would be if Xandria could be with him at every milestone of his life.
“I am so glad to have been able to work with all of you. It was my first time being a director, and your outstanding work meant so much to me. We would have never achieved this without any of you. The success of the TV series doesn't just belong to me or one of the actors in the show. It is all of ours. Our joint effort to make this TV show the best it could be made it possible for us to achieve such high ratings. Here, I sincerely thank everyone for your hard work for this TV series! This success is yours too. Today's celebration party is a celebration for each and every one of you! Enjoy your night!“
