Chapter 643 A Fun Outdoor Activity
Leanna was surprised to see Joseph. She hesitated before saying, "Mr. Woodley."
At that moment, the rain started to pour harder.
Joseph held the umbrella over Leanna's head and said, "Your car has no major problem, Miss
McKinney. You should go back quickly."
"What about your car?" asked Leanna.
"It's just a small scratch; there's nothing serious. It's your car that has been damaged," replied Joseph
as he gestured toward the broken headlight on the left.
He suggested, "Well then, let the insurance company handle it. I'll take you home first as it's going to
rain heavily soon."
Seeing the long line of cars behind them, Leanna nodded and said, "Okay, let me park my car on the
side of the road first."
Joseph held the umbrella and walked Leanna to her car. He then turned to the driver and said
indifferently, "Park the car on the side of the road."
The driver wiped his sweat and nodded before getting into the car.
After parking the car, Leanna called the insurance company and explained the situation before getting
out of the car with her belongings.
Joseph was waiting outside and immediately stepped forward when he saw her.
Looking at the umbrella above her head, Leanna said, "Thank you."
Joseph smiled slightly and replied, "You're welcome, Miss McKinney. Please get in the car."
"No need, I'll take a cab," Leanna declined.
She took out a business card from her bag and handed it to Joseph. "Here's my contact information. If
you need any compensation in the future, please feel free to contact me."
Joseph took the card and said, "I see."
Leanna nodded and said, "I'm sorry for the trouble today and for taking up your time."
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇt"No problem, Miss McKinney. It's not a big deal and didn't really affect me," Joseph reassured her.
As he finished speaking, he handed the umbrella to Leanna and said, "Since you don't want me to
drive you, please keep this umbrella. You're a beautiful young lady and it would be troublesome if you
caught a cold in the rain."
Before Leanna could say anything, Joseph smiled at her and turned to walk toward the black car
parked in front of them.
As Joseph had predicted, there was a torrent of rain shortly after.
It was already summer, and the rain was especially heavy.
Leanna waited for half an hour at the site until the insurance company arrived before she left.
Back at the studio, due to the rainy weather, there were only a few people there, so it was much quieter
than usual.
Charlotte ran over and asked, "Leanna, where did you go in this heavy rain?"
"I went to Pearson Group. Didn't I tell you to rest at home for a few days? Why did you come back?"
Leanna asked.
"It's boring at home. I'd rather be here," replied Charlotte.
"Okay, if you feel tired, go to the lounge. I'm going to the office now," said Leanna.
"Okay."
The rain continued for two to three days until the morning of the weekend when the sun finally broke
through the clouds.
Leanna sat on the couch and drew while Charlotte and Zoe lay down next to her in the same position.
After a while, Zoe suddenly sat up and said, "No, we can't just lie here at home on such a beautiful day.
It's the weekend, so we should go out and do something."
Leanna replied, "Where do you want to go?"
Zoe took out her phone and said, "Let me check."
After browsing around, Zoe wasn't particularly satisfied.
She lay on the couch and sighed. "Isn't there any outdoor activity that's both relaxing, and fun, and can
put us in a good mood?"
Suddenly, she thought of something and quickly took out her phone.
After a few minutes, she sat up again and said, "Nana, let's go watch Daphne's variety show."
"The escape room?" Leanna asked.
"Yes, they just started filming today, and the schedule isn't too tight yet. I asked Daphne, and she said
we can go."
Charlotte also became excited. "Can we go? Please?"
Leanna looked at their eyes shining with excitement and nodded. "Let's go."
Charlotte had been in Highside for a long time and had basically only been running between the studio
and the apartment. Leanna hadn't taken her to any interesting places yet. Since Charlotte was
interested in these things, Leanna thought that they might as well go.
After hearing Leanna's answer, the two immediately went to change their clothes.
Leanna also put away the sketches in front of her.
…
In the studio, Daphne was sitting in the dressing room when two or three celebrities came over to say
hello.
They were all guests who were recording the show with her, including two male stars who had grown
popular over the past two years, an actress who had just become popular through a web drama earlier
this year, and a celebrity who was constantly appearing on various variety shows.
After greeting them one by one, they left. Subsequently, Daphne asked her assistant, "Aren't there
supposed to be six celebrities participating in the show? Who are the other two?"
The assistant whispered, "I haven't had a chance to tell you yet. One of the scheduled celebrities
couldn't make it, so the organizers of the show asked Tina Anderson to fill in. I just received the
notification an hour ago…"
Daphne paused and frowned.
Tina was a celebrity who debuted around the same time as Daphne. She had been doing very well in
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmthe drama circle these past two years and had taken on many big production dramas. Her popularity
was not inferior to Daphne's at all, but her resources were slightly weaker.
Tina often insinuated that Daphne had the backing of the Pearson Group, which was why Daphne had
such good resources. She felt that she was not inferior to Daphne; it was just that her luck was a little
worse. Thus, she made all kinds of sarcastic remarks toward Daphne both in public and in private.
When Daphne was once accused of being a mistress, Tina's team also attacked her a lot. It was
already well-known in the industry that the two of them were at odds with each other.
If the two of them were to record a show together, there would be nothing more exciting.
Daphne was silent for a moment before asking, "What about the other one?"
The assistant was stunned for a moment before realizing what she was asking and answered, "The
organizers said it's a new celebrity who just debuted. She doesn't have much fame, but seems to be
quite smart… I don't know who it is yet. Let me go ask."
"Forget it." Daphne stood up. "I'll go outside for some fresh air."
Just the thought of seeing Tina later made Daphne feel suffocated.
She went out into the corridor where a few staff members greeted her. After smiling and responding,
she walked over to a corner to find a place with no one around.
When she got to the staircase, she took a deep breath.
As she was about to sit down, she heard a faint sound from inside the room.
She paused and instinctively looked toward the source of the noise.
Simultaneously, the person inside also looked toward her.
Their eyes met.
After a few seconds, Daphne spoke up. "You…"
Louis held a cigarette in one hand and a lighter in the other, seemingly about to light it.
After a few seconds, he realized the situation and put both the cigarette and lighter in his pocket.
Daphne blinked and didn't know what to say for a moment.
