In the midst of screaming, Zoe heard a familiar voice.
"It's me."
"Jay Parker," the voice said in a low tone.
'Jay Parker?!'
Zoe was stunned for a moment.
So that thing was Jay.
No, no. Jay wasn't a 'thing'.
All right.
Regardless of whether it was a 'thing' or not, what was Jay doing here?!
Did he need to rehearse his scenes in the middle of the night as well?
"I dropped my phone when you pushed me just now. Help me find it, it should be nearby," Jay told her.
Zoe furrowed her brows.
Could he not look for his own phone?!
How could she find it in this darkness?
But she agreed at that moment.
How could she dare offend Jay?
That would immediately cut off all paths in the entertainment industry for her.
She tried to walk around in search of his phone.
The moment she stepped forward, she heard a suppressed grunt from Jay.
"I'm so sorry." Zoe immediately apologized.
She probably stepped on him.
Zoe was flabbergasted at how dark everything was. A power outage had cut off all sources of light and made everything so dark that she could not even see her fingers before her.
"I'm fine."
Zoe veered off a little.
She seemed to have figured out the spot that Jay had fallen on.
She could not understand it. Why did he not just get up?
Oh, right.
He broke his leg.
It was quite a terrible situation.
Zoe tried her best to avoid Jay as much as she could in the darkness.
However, she took two steps and accidentally tripped on something that felt like a walking stick.
