Aria smiled and headed toward the elevators, with Owen talling close behind. “Which for are you on?” he asked.
“Th floor,” Aria replied.
Since they were staying for an extended period, the hotel had arranged rooms for them on the lower floors for conventemor.
To amodate the cast’s needs, the production team booked sites for them,
Owen watched the numbers change on the elevator disy and thought to himself that they were
abit far apart–eight floors between them.
The <b>elevator </b>soon stepped on the fifth floor, Aria turned to him and said, “I’ll get off here. Good night”
“Good night,” Owen said softly.
As Aria walked over, she spotted Tina and Willie standing at the door.
<b>Tina</b><b>: </b>
also saw her, her eyes going wide.
“What, she’s <b>here </b>again? Tina thought, exasperated.
Aria nced at the two of them, a smirk ying on her lips. “Well, what <b>a </b>coincidence.”
Willie gave an awkward chuckle. “What are the odds?”
Clearly excited, Willie swiped the key card and opened the door. Turning to Tina with a yful grin, he <b>said </b>affectionately, “Come on, baby, let’s go in.”
Aria shot them a look, her expression a mix of disbelief and amusement,
Tina felt utterly embarrassed and was already stabbing Willie a dozen times in her mind for putting her in this situation.
Tina red <b>at </b>Aria. “What are you staring at? Just because you’re not bunking with your guy doesn’t mean other couples can’t share a room.”
Aria rolled her eyes.
<b>Tina </b>knew exactly what Aria was worried about<b>. </b>She rolled her eyes and scoffed, “<b>Rx</b>, I’m not an idiot.”
With that, Aria stepped inside without a second thought. Just before closing the door, she paused, as if something had just urred to her, and <b>asked</b>, “Hey, do you think Owen likes me?”
Tina stared at her with a look of disbelief, her tone dripping with sarcasm. “Yeah<b>, </b>aren’t you just thrilled <b>having </b>such an amazing guy into you?”
Without hesitation, Aria shut the door right in her face.
She slipped into <b>her </b>slippers<b>, </b>sanki
k into the chair, and after a moment’s thought, opened her chat with Cloe. (Cloe, I think Owen might <b>have </b>feelings for <ol><li>me. </li></ol>
Cloe replied instantly.
It took you long enough to notice?
With eyes wide in disbelief, <b>Aria </b>typed back: [<b>cle</b>, you already knew?
Come on<b>, </b><b>it’s </b>so obvious<b>.</b>)
“That obvious?” Aria thought in disbeliel

Deek: (Are you going wher Owen ?)

Aria stumped back in the thai, staring nkly at the ceiling light, letting its harsh white re sting h
It turned out everyone knew Owen had <b>a </b>crush on her, only she was clueless.
Aria raised a hand to cover her eyes and sighed softly.
After a while, Aria got up and took a shower. When she came out, she casually grabbed a book and settled quietly onto the sofa, trying to lose hersel
its pages<b>. </b>
When <b>Vanessa </b>came back, she immediately spotted <b>Aria </b>sitting as still as a statue, book in hand andpletely lost in thought
Vanessa called out, “Hey!”
Aria snapped out of her thoughts. “You’re back?”
Vanessa stared at her. “Something’s <b>up</b>. Let me shower first, then I’ming back to grill <b>you </b>properly.”
Aria nodded. “Alright.”
Vanessa secretly clicked her tongue, realizing the problem was quite serious.
An hourter, the two best friends <b>were </b>finally curled up together of the couch.
Aria described what happened between her <b>and </b>Owen as if she were an outsider, then turned to Vanessa and asked, “Do you think this guy actually has feelings for the girl?”
Vanessa’s eyes lit up. “He totally does! One hundred percent!”
She leaned in, eyes wide with excitement. “Wait<b>, </b>so a guy actually confessed to you? Who <b>is </b>it? Do I know him?”
Aria replied, “It’s Owen, my <bwyer </b>
Vanessa wasn’t surprised at all. With <b>a </b>knowing smile, she said, “Oh, so it’s him! How do you feel about it?”
Aria frowned in frustration. “I don’t know… My thoughts are all jumbled up.”
Vanessa leaned in, curiosity all over her face. “Sp, when it’s just you and him, do you ever <b>get </b>annoyed?”
Aria thought for a moment before shaking her head. “No, I don’t
Vanessa concluded, “So you like him, huh? Why not give it a shot? I’ve heard Owen’s got a squeaky clean reputation, he’s handsome, and his body’s amazing. Honestly, one night with him would totally be worth it”
