Will You Marry Me, Again
Chapter 115

Chapter 115 Do You Think It’s Her?

Everyone shouted in unison, “Warring couple! Warring couple!”

Maia kept a blank face and maintained her composure. Then she took a microphone from acrew.

“| get to choose my partner, you troublemakers. Nowhere in the rules does it say a mentor canvolunteer himself for the role.”

Maia spoke lovingly, as if the participants were her family.

She scanned everyone sitting in the mentor area. However, a single stare from Cedric was enough to scare the others away.They all wanted to act with her, but none dared.

Maia saw fear in the mentors‘ eyes and decided she wouldn’t put them in a difficult position. She looked past Cedric and restedher gaze on Aiken.

“It's a scripted performance. | believe this calls for the Best Actor!”

Maia grinned widely. She was spectacularly beautiful, and her smile made the audienceinfatuated with her.

Aiken responded quickly, “Did you have your eyes on me, Ms. Maia?”

There was a double entendre to what Aiken said. He made it sound like Maia had a crush onhim.

The contestants were chattering away.

“Aiken is so bold! Cedric is right there!”

“How impressive, Aiken. He’s not scared of Cedric at all!”

“It looks like Aiken and Maia are quite close. | saw him sending her back to her room last night!”“Geez Louise. Is the warring couple already over?”

“Maia didn’t pick Cedric. Does this mean he’s the only one who wants to be married again?”The livestream was in a state of chaos. The netizens were busy commenting that their heartswent out to Cedric.

Maia and Aiken received the script shortly after.

“This is something...” Aiken raised the script to the camera and showed the content. “Take a look at this. There are only twentylines here, but | get to hug and kiss her twice.

“Is the director throwing me a bone? Ms. Maia was a special lady, after all!”

Aiken was on cloud nine. He was so grateful that he wanted to send the director a gift basket.Unfortunately, the director was very unhappy with this unexpected development.

Cedric looked terrifying. He arranged for the script and made sure there were intimate moments in it. How could Aiken be theone to reap the reward?

Did Cedric unwittingly serve her up on a silver platter? He was incensed at the thought of Maia “cheating” on him with anotherguy.

Then, the performance started. The plot centered around a girl sending her boyfriend off when they were in an airport.

Aiken held the Best Actor title, after all. He immersed himself in the role very quickly. However, this was the first time Maia camein touch with a script like this. She had trouble getting into the part emotionally.

The fact that a terrifying man was boring his gaze into her made it that much harder. It was summer, but she felt a chill up herspine.

With that said, Maia and Aiken knew each other pretty well. So, it was not that awkward to act out the scene..Aiken carried on with his line after the first hug.

Cedric’s handsome face had contorted with rage. His fist was clenched so tightly that his knuckles turned white. His eyes werehostile.

“Look at Cedric. He’s scary!” Jackie nudged the mentor sitting next to him with his elbow.“|-It’s just a hug... It’s normal in our industry. I-Is he going to start throwing punches when we get to the kissing scene?”

Jackie shrugged. He could not guess how Cedric would react, but he was sure about one thing. If Aiken were bold enough tokiss Maia, he would be crossing the line.

Everyone’s attention was on Maia and Aiken.

“I'll come back to you.”

Some participants were on the verge of tears when Aiken delivered his last line.

The kissing scene everyone waited for was next.

Aiken took several steps toward Maia and embraced her. However, someone lifted him by his shirt before he could kiss her.Aiken flailed his arms. “Hey. Watch it!”

Baz moved swiftly and lifted him to the side. Then he said, “You're causing a disturbance at

Everyone burst into laughter. They were well aware of who Baz worked for. When he took Aiken away, everyone knew who themastermind was.

Maia looked at Cedric and locked eyes with him, hinting at him to stop!

Cedric, on the other hand, smiled at her calmly and spread his hands. He was feigning

innocence.

“Don’t you think your bodyguard took it too far, Cedric?” Aiken glanced at him and looked at the muscular Baz next. Was he waytaller than the average guy?

“This was a spontaneous scene that the director added in,” Cedric said while holding a microphone.

Aiken stared at the director helplessly. “Is this true, director?”

The director nodded immediately and said, “Exactly. This is a spontaneous scene | added in just now. Haha.”The director would not dare go against Cedric’s orders.

Aiken was confused and exclaimed pitifully, “Why is it always me?”

Everyone burst out laughing again and applauded, including those watching the live stream.

Cedric’s phone rang at this very moment. It was Rita. He stared at his phone, then hung up.

His phone rang again shortly. She was not about to give up.

Cedric walked far away before answering his phone, “What's up?”

Rita shouted, “Zera’s gone missing, Cedric! She hasn’t been home for two straight days!

“She isn’t answering any phone calls or texts. Considering what she’s gone through, I’m worried something's happened to her.”Cedric did not give a rat’s ass about Zera. “You should call the police if she goes missing. Why did you call me?”

Rita said immediately, “She mentioned that she’d spent some downtime at Stonebrook a few days ago! Someone told meyesterday that there was a talent show being made there. Maia’s company produced it, no less!”

“Do you think she has anything to do with this?”
