Chapter 644 When Did You Become His Fan?
After a moment of silence, Louis asked, "Weren't you in the dressing room?"
"I finished my makeup, so I came out for a walk," Daphne said. "What are you…"
As she spoke, she suddenly remembered that her assistant had just said a little-known artist was participating in the show, but that the person was very clever.
Could it be…
Daphne was surprised. "Is this the job that your company arranged for you? The one you told me about?"
Louis nodded. "I forgot to tell you."
Daphne was taken aback for a moment before saying, "Oh… It's fine. I just didn't expect to see you here."
Louis remembered the scene when they met just now and pursed his lips, but he didn't say anything.
Daphne was tactful enough to avoid asking about their previous encounter. "Anyway, have you told Leanna and the others about this? They'll be here soon. Will you…"
"I already told them."
"Okay, the show is about to start recording soon. I'll go back first."
"Alright."
Daphne smiled at him, took two steps back, and quickly turned and left.
After a few pattering sounds of footsteps, the hallway became quiet again.
Louis leaned against the wall, then took out a lighter and a crumpled cigarette. His eyes drooped as he thought about something.
Back in the dressing room, Daphne sat in her seat and took a deep breath.
Her assistant asked, "What's wrong, Daphne?"
Daphne said, "I just saw Louis."
The assistant's eyes lit up, and then she asked in disbelief, "He's here too? Is he working part-time or…"
"He's the sixth artist participating in the show."
The assistant was shocked. "Him?! He didn't mention it before though."
Daphne sighed, took a pillow, and held it in her arms. Thinking back to the scene just now, she couldn't help but be lost in thought.
She didn't expect the kid to secretly smoke. She never noticed it before.
Nevertheless, Daphne thought it was normal. She had heard about the unhappy things in Leanna's family. Furthermore, with a father like that, it was already good enough for Louis to just smoke to relieve stress without his character becoming twisted.
Moreover, he was so outstanding in every way. He was good-looking, high-achieving, polite, modest, quiet, and reserved.
Daphne made a hissing sound, feeling that his life was really not easy.
The assistant, who was next to her, watched her frown before relaxing. Daphne also looked regretful from time to time.
Ten minutes later, all the artists arrived at the recording site one after another.
Tina stood there with her arms crossed, looking a little impatient, while her assistant was fanning her with a small fan and handing her coffee.
When Tina saw Daphne, she snorted and said to the assistant, "I guess we're not good enough, so we have to come here early and wait. We're unlike some big shots who want to be the last ones to come out and treat this place like a red-carpet event."
In fact, there was still some time before the recording started. Due to Daphne and Tina's presence, the other celebrities didn't want to come after them, so they came early and waited.
As a result, the last one to arrive would appear like they were a big shot.
Several celebrities and all the staff held their breath and dared not make a sound, afraid that the two would start fighting.
Although their clash was a big selling point of their show, if they started fighting before the recording even began, how could things continue smoothly?
When Tina didn't hear Daphne's reply, she became even ruder. Looking at her assistant, she continued, "I guess it's still better to have a backer to lean on. Some people can afford to be late, unlike us who are just working-class people. How envious I am—"
Tina was interrupted as a tall figure walked in from outside.
Louis said to the assistant director, "Sorry, I'm late. Has the recording started?"
The assistant director quickly said, "No, not yet. There are still five minutes left."
Louis casually said, "Oh, I thought my watch was broken."
Due to Louis' interruption, the previously quiet atmosphere became a little strange.
The assistant director coughed and started to call out to the staff, "Come on, don't just stand there. Check the props again and be careful not to mess up later!"
The staff quickly dispersed and got busy. Finally, the atmosphere in the studio finally returned to normal.
Meanwhile, Tina snorted dissatisfiedly, turned around, and sat on the couch to rest.
Her assistant quickly followed.
Tina looked at Louis not far away and lifted her chin, asking, "Who's that?"
"I haven't seen him before. He seems to be a new celebrity signed by some random company who is participating in the show's recording," her assistant replied.
Tina sneered, "Now, even a new celebrity acts so arrogantly. Does he really think he's a hero saving a damsel in distress?"
The assistant didn't say anything and kept her head down, but her eyes couldn't help but glance at Louis several times.
The employees were communicating with Louis about the recording details. He slightly lowered his head, listened carefully, and occasionally nodded in agreement.
Although Louis was young and relatively unknown, he unintentionally attracted the attention of all the girls in the studio.
Daphne's assistant whispered, "I think if this show airs, Louis won't be able to hide anymore."
Daphne looked back and didn't understand at first. "Hide what?"
"He's not popular now and only a few of us are his fans, but once this show airs, he's definitely going to be popular. There will be tons of fans swarming around him. My beloved idol is finally going to be seen by everyone."
Daphne asked, "When did you become his fan?"
Her assistant giggled. "When he had a cameo in the previous drama you were in, remember? There were a lot of girls on our set who like him, and they even formed their own fan club and support group for him."
Daphne was speechless.
Her assistant asked again, "Hey, Daphne, what kind of girls do you think he likes? Cute and gentle or bold and sexy?"
Daphne raised her eyebrows, indicating that she didn't know.
Meanwhile, the staff finished communicating with Louis, and he went to the side to get something.
Daphne looked around and noticed that Louis came alone without an assistant.
After a while, the show began recording.
All the celebrities were locked in a large room and had to find clues left by the organizers within a certain time frame, then solve them and move to the next room.
If they exceeded the time limit and hadn't left the room, the room would trigger a punishment mechanism, but no one knew what the punishment would be.
After they entered the room, Tina sat on the couch with her eyes closed, looking like she was above everyone else and didn't want to talk to them.
Apart from Daphne and Louis, the other three people automatically formed a group and started searching the room for clues while Daphne walked over to Louis and asked, "Did Jellyfish Entertainment not provide you with an assistant?"
Louis looked around and replied, "They did, but I'm not used to having someone follow me around."
