Phoenix Rising: From Heartache to Heroism
Chapter 513 Invitation

The next day, Spring in Moon City officially began its promotional activities.

They kicked off with an offline press conference where the main cast needed to answer questions.

Following that, there was an online live stream where they connected with fans, chatting and discussing the show.

At the press conference, Violeta and Nolan sat together.

In the drama, Violeta's character has long hair. She had recently filmed a movie and had to cut her hair short. The short hair made her look much more refreshed. She was dressed in a white casual outfit, sitting beside Nolan on the sofa, with the drama themed pillow in her arms.

Nolan was wearing a light gray baseball jacket and held the microphone.

Both of their microphones had the drama name printed on them.

The backdrop behind them was filled with drama posters.

The host was following the script and asked them questions. The invited media present also took turns to ask about the filming process.

"The drama was an adaptation of Mr. Howell's work. How did you both replace the collaboration? It's rumored that Mr. Howell is very strict. What are your thoughts on that?"

Violeta responded, "A scriptwriter's strict standards are beneficial for actors. High standards are necessary to create good work. This is my second time working with Mr. Howell, and I've gained a lot from the experience. I hope we can collaborate more in the future."

Nolan smiled as he held the microphone. "My experience during filming was similar to Violeta's, so I'll talk about something different. Mr. Howell's strictness in his work is proportional to his casualness in life. We often play chess together in private. Strictly speaking, this is my first official collaboration with him. I remember the first time we discussed the plot on set; his serious expression took me by surprise."

He chuckled, "I hope Mr. Howell doesn't mind me saying this. I'm used to seeing his casual side, so seeing him so serious at work gave me the impression of someone trying to act formal.

"Later that day, when I went to have lunch with him, he was back to his usual self. That's when I realized he switches between his work and personal life seamlessly."

The host and media laughed at Nolan's remarks.

Wade's personal life rarely made it into the public eye.

He was a writer and screenwriter who required a creative atmosphere. Therefore, the media rarely used him to stir up gossip.

Nolan joking about Wade in public was likely a first, which suggested they had a close personal relationship.

Violeta was intrigued as she watched Nolan speak. It was fascinating to hear the amusing details about someone she respected from another person's perspective.

After the two-hour-long press

conference ended, Violeta and Nolan returned backstage, each heading to their temporary dressing rooms to remove makeup and change clothes. en Narugi

Suddenly, Nolan stopped and said, "Oh, Violeta."

Violeta cocked her head and asked, "Yes?"

Nolan's deep eyes held a hint of a smile as he said, "Mr. Wade told me that if you're free at the end of this month, you should come over to his place for dinner."

Violeta had given Wade a chess set as a gift and had arranged to play game together when they both had time.

Wade had responded that they would set a date when they were both free.

It appeared that he had found the time, so he asked Nolan to relay the message.

Violeta nodded and returned a smile. "Sure, I should be free at the end of the month."

After responding, she pushed open the door, ready to go inside.

Suddenly, she remembered something. Turning back, she expected Nolan to have already entered his dressing room,

especially since his assistant had

opened the door earlier.

However, when Violeta turned around, she was surprised to see that Nolan hadn't entered yet. He remained standing there, his gaze still locked on her.

Nolan stood by the doorframe, his gaze unwavering.

Pausing, Violeta asked, "Nolan, did you also give Mr. Wade a chess set?"

Nolan replied, "Yeah, I did."

Violeta continued, "I recently gave him a chess set, too. He casually mentioned it, and I wondered who had the same idea as me. What material was yours made of?"
