Chapter 120 Hello, I am Dougal
Regina's gaze followed the direction of the door. She was about to lift her blanket. However, at that moment, she heard Douglas's voice again. "We have to get up early tomorrow, so go to bed early."
Regina lay down in the bed again.
"Good night."
"Good night."
The next day, Regina had an appointment with the production team to record at 8 AM.
Regina set off from the hotel again, heading to a nearby recording studio.
The last time she walked this path was still vivid in her memory. This time, Regina felt much calmer inside. Although she was inevitably affected by Philip's call before coming to Normon City, she wasn't as desperate as last time.
After all, it was Douglas who gave her a sense of security.
Regina had been independent and sensible since childhood. Even in difficult and risky situations, she would find her way out alone, but the process was never smooth. She would struggle and suffer.
But now, she wouldn't be like that anymore.
Regina quickly arrived at the recording studio.
The staff had been waiting there for a while, and when they saw Regina, their eyes widened.
Regina was truly beautiful!
"Hello, Regina!" The producer, Helen, came up to greet her. She was actually very young, two years younger than Regina. When she saw Regina, she acted like a little fangirl. "The pictures don't really do you justice!"
Regina had previously recorded a few popular radio dramas.
But she was very low-key, always acting as if nothing had happened after each recording.
She had never participated in offline or online events, nor had she posted her photos or videos on social media. Apart from a few photos that were unintentionally circulated, she was really hard to track down.
Regina quickly greeted Helen in return.
Then she glanced around the studio.
Helen roughly knew what she was looking for. "Dougal might be a few minutes late. Before you came in, he told me he was already downstairs."
Helen was just as excited as Regina.
After all, Dougal was considered the most mysterious figure in this circle!
Compared to Regina, who had a few photos circulating in small circles, Dougal had left nothing behind!
Although Helen had seen him in the studio last time, he had worn a mask the entire time and never let Helen see his true face.
"Dougal is so handsome!" Helen gossiped with Regina. "Even with a mask on, just showing his eyes, I could feel that he is no less attractive than those popular male stars."
She even felt that comparing Dougal to those stars was a bit of an insult to him.
Because just by sitting there, Dougal exuded a powerful and unattainable aura.
This was something those stars couldn't compare to.
Perhaps because Helen was talkative and enthusiastic, Regina, who was usually slow to warm up, followed her lead. "Really? Now I'm even more looking forward to it."
"He definitely will live up to your expectation!"
Just as she finished speaking, Regina heard a staff member's voice. "Dougal is here!"
Regina glanced at her phone to check the time.
It had been five minutes since she came in.
These five minutes felt much longer than she had imagined.
No exaggeration, at the moment she decided to turn around and look in his direction, Regina really took a deep breath, a subconscious reaction she only made when she was nervous.
After a few seconds, her thoughts were pulled back.
Regina finally turned around and looked in his direction.
The moment their eyes met, Regina froze.
He came dressed to the nines, the tall and slender Douglas in a crisp suit, wearing the dark patterned tie she had given him.
He was holding a bouquet of flowers. A bouquet of pure white gardenias.
Regina's heart surged like waves.
She watched him walk towards her step by step, all the noise around her faded away.
It was as if she could only hear her own erratic heartbeat.
Douglas walked up to her, just a step away. Today, he wasn't wearing a mask, and his face was still as handsome as ever.
Douglas exuded an aura of calm and nobility. He smiled slightly and handed the bouquet of gardenias to her. "Hello, I'm Dougal."
Regina almost stopped breathing. Her gaze was fixed on him. They were so close that she could even see herself reflected in his dark pupils.
Regina looked bewildered and shocked.
But Douglas's eyes always carried a gentle, doting smile. "Regina?"
The situation probably lasted for three minutes. Helen, not understanding what was happening, gently spoke up, reminding Regina, trying to break the stalemate.
Regina shook off her reverie and returned to her senses, belatedly taking the flowers from Douglas's hand.
She opened her mouth, her throat feeling like it was stuck with a thorn.
It took a lot of effort for her to finally say, "Hello, Dougal."
The recording process didn't start smoothly.
Regina couldn't help but get distracted.
The person who had always been special in her heart was standing right next to her.
Dougal was Douglas.
Douglas was Dougal.
These two sentences kept occupying Regina's mind.
"Mrs. Semona." He bent down, his lips close to her ear. "Stop thinking about it."
He knew her mind was full of questions.
"Let's talk about it when we get back, okay?"
Regina closed her eyes, heavily suppressing those emotions.
Finally, she smiled at him. "Dougal, please enlighten me."
The first day of recording for the radio drama "Post-Nuptial Passion" unexpectedly caused a stir online.
The tag #Dougal and Regina Collaborating# even occupied the trending news section.
The reason was that the producer of "Post-Nuptial Passion" posted a series of edited small videos of Dougal and Regina together on some social media platforms to promote the radio drama.
To respect their wish not to show their faces, the producer did a lot of post-production on the footage.
The photos mostly featured their backs and profiles.
Even the few frontal shots were taken from a distance and blurred through technical means to fully protect their privacy.
The three-minute video documented a day of work for Regina and Douglas.
From their first meeting, with Douglas holding a bouquet of pure white gardenias, to their work interactions, where they whispered to each other, a seemingly normal action that gave off an intimate feeling.
He would instinctively open a bottle of water and hand it to her when she was thirsty.
He would instinctively support her when she had been sitting too long and couldn't straighten her back.
After work, amidst the noisy crowd, he protected her tightly in the corner of the elevator, ensuring she wouldn't be squeezed.
Because it was late and cold, his suit jacket was draped over her shoulders.
There were so many such small details in the short three-minute video.
Once the video was released, netizens began to discuss these details fervently.
