The Number One Star in the Interstellar Era

Chapter 111 - THIS IS FUN

”FOR the past three months, we had all been working hard for this movie. Many of you might have been stressed out. Probably mostly because of me. I know how infuriating I could be during filming,” Director Trevane said with a joking tone. Everyone around responded with a laugh. ”But you all pulled through and did your best to make this movie the best that it could be. So, for everyone in the cast and crew, as well as every staff who weʼd worked with, this toast is for you!”

The director raised the goblet of wine he was holding and then drank it. The cast and crew also raised their goblets and rank whatever alcohol was in there.

”So, for tonight, letʼs all drink and eat to our heartʼs content!” Director Trevane once again raised the glass of wine and drank it.

The crowd then applauded.

They were there to celebrate the end of the filming of the movie [The Sleeping God] with the rest of the cast and crew. The venue was the ballroom of one of the highest rated hotels of FS01.

There were waiters walking around carrying trays with food and drinks. Most of the food were appetizers, those that could be eaten in one bite. There were different kinds of liquors going around – light and hard ones. There were also tables around, tall ones where people could stand beside and put their drinks on.

It was more similar to a cocktail party than banquet in which Astrid was more familiar with. Because thatʼs how it usually was in his former life. Every time filming ended, there would be a banquet to celebrate.

Astrid was holding a glass of blue cocktail. He drank a sip and it tasted like blueberry juice. He hardly even tasted any alcohol. Even so, after that one sip, he didnʼt drink anymore. His alcohol tolerance was pretty low. And cocktails like these that didnʼt have any alcoholic taste could easily bite back. One moment, you didnʼt feel anything, the next, youʼre drunk as a skunk.

He didnʼt want to risk it. Especially in this occasion. Itʼs a good thing that this was not like heʼs former life where a newcomer like him would be forced to drink any alcohol offered to him. Not doing so would only offend the others.

He had to learn of ways to make it seem like he drank even though he didnʼt. That way, he wouldnʼt appear disrespectful and he also wouldnʼt offend anyone. But he didnʼt need to do any of that now. Which was truly a great relief.

”Astrid, you havenʼt drunk your cocktail. Do you not like it? I can ask a waiter to bring another one,” Lauren said.

He and his brother were standing with Lauren and Sienna sharing the same table. When he and Reas entered the ballroom, the two immediately pulled them towards the same table and theyʼd been together since. No, actually, itʼs more accurate to say that Lauren and Sienna pulled him and Reas just followed.

”My brother doesnʼt like alcohol,” Reas said coldly.

”Oh, Iʼm sorry, I didnʼt know,” Lauren said apologetically. No wonder Astrid hadnʼt finished his drink.

But even so, he glanced at Andreas, did this guy really had to say that so coldly? He knew he doesnʼt like him. But was there a need to treat him like an enemy? Was it because he was getting close to his brother? But he was hardly being clingy. In fact, this was the most behaved heʼd become. And yet this guy still continued to glare and scowl at him.

Annoying guy. He took a glass of wine from a passing waiter and drank it to alleviate some of irritation.

”Itʼs okay. I have low alcohol tolerance, you see? So, as much as possible, I try my best to avoid it,” Astrid said with an apologetic smile.

”Good decision. Thereʼs nothing good that ever comes from alcohol,” Sienna said. Then she hugged Astridʼs arm. ”Since we both donʼt like to drink, letʼs go around the room and meet people.”

Before Astrid could react, he was already pulled away by Sienna. He glanced back and signaled Reas that he would be fine. So that his brother would not have to follow.

And so, Reas and Lauren were left alone.

”You know you acting like a guard dog will soon irritate the heck out of Astrid,” Lauren said drinking another glass of wine. ”I seriously couldnʼt wait for that to happen.”

Reas turned to Lauren. Then he saw that there was already a pile of empty glasses in front of him. He couldnʼt help but frown. Just when did this guy drink this much?

”There you go again, frowning like thereʼs no tomorrow. Am I really so objectionable that you always frown whenever you see me?” Lauren said and then drinking the content of the glass he was holding.

”Are you already drunk?” Reas asked, ignoring what the other just said.

He actually wasnʼt sure how a drunk person should look like because he had never been a drunk before. Not that he had been into drinking. Itʼs only been a few months since he and Reas had turned 18. So, he couldnʼt exactly be going around drinking alcohol. Besides, because of his high physique level, it would be hard for him to get drunk.

But since the other wasnʼt slurring his words, he probably wasnʼt that drunk. Then again, those rose-tinted cheeks tell a different story.

”Whoʼs drunk? Do I look like someone whoʼs drunk? Or do you think that I could only say those things because Iʼm drunk? Well, for the record, even if Iʼm not drinking now, I could still say those things. In fact, Iʼll say it now. Youʼre an annoying cold boy who has an eternal frown and a huge brother complex,” Lauren said taking another glass of wine from a passing waiter.

The corner of Reasʼ mouth twitched. He was actually more annoyed being called a ʼboyʼ rather than someone with a brother complex. He stretched out his hand and grabbed the glass of wine Lauren was holding before the other could drink it.

”Hey, thatʼs mine!”

Lauren tried to grab it back but he quickly raised it. Because Reas was taller, the other couldnʼt reach it. So, he jumped around him to reach the glass. Looking at Lauren with his red cheeks and misty brown eyes, this guy was certainly drunk.

Now, the corner of Reasʼ mouth slowly turned into an arc.

”No. This is mine now,” he said before drinking the wine.

He stared down at the surprised expression on Laurenʼs face that was now slowly turning into anger.

[This is actually quite fun.]
