Chapter 58
Due to an unexpected incident, the recording of the show had to be temporarily halted, resuming only twenty minutes later.
The audience watching the livestream expressed their understanding, as someone had fallen off a horse and needed to be attended to..
After the program paused, Bryce found himself sitting in Ashley’s arms, panting for breath, his face. flushing with embarrassment.
He thought to himself, ‘Here I am, a grown man, saved by a young girl and sitting in her arms.
“My image!”
Ashley was more disdainful than Bryce. As soon as the horse stopped, she quickly dismounted.
Miranda ran over, panting. “Ashley, are you hurt? That was really scary. I was terrified!”
Ashley felt a warmth in her heart. “I’m fine. Don’t worry.”
Bryce also got off the horse, looking at Ashley with a complex expression. He remembered Laura asking him to look after Ashley on the show. Ironically, it turned out he was the one who needed looking after.
Bryce held a fist to his mouth and coughed lightly, awkwardly saying. “Ashley, thanks for just now. Thank you.”
Ashley’s eyebrows raised in confidence. “If you want to thank me, then how about you do a pole dance for me?”
Bryce was truly speechless.
He thought, ‘Why does she still remember the pole dance!”
However, by now, Bryce really looked at Ashley with newfound respect and admiration.
Miranda looked at them, sensing that Ashley and Bryce seemed to be bickering but appeared to have a good relationship,
As the three of them were talking, a staff member ran over with a phone, saying it was Ashley’s phone, and it was a call for Ashley.
Since mobile phones were not allowed to carry during the recording of the variety show, they were temporarily kept with the staff.
Ashley glanced at the caller ID, raised her eyebrows, and walked aside to answer the call.
When she returned after the call, Bryce asked curiously. “Who called you? You’re being so secretive.”
Ashley casually replied, “A friend of mine.”
Bryce prodded. “What friend? Why so secretive?”
Ashley glanced at him. “Why are you asking so many questions?”
Bryce puffed up his chest in a show of false bravery. “Laura told me to look after you, and I’m just doing what she said.”
Ashley bluntly unmasked him. “You’re just being nosy.”
Miranda couldn’t help but laugh.
Ashley thought about it and felt there was no point in hiding, saying. “It’s my friend who plays the instrument. He heard I was nearby recording a show and wanted to meet me, but I didn’t let him come.”
Bryce looked her up and down, marveling. “I didn’t expect you to have such clout. What kind of instrument does your friend play, a piano?”
Ashley shook her head. “No, a harp.”
Upon hearing it was a harp, Bryce looked towards Shirley, not far away. “Look over there. Shirley’s character isn’t the best, but she’s great at playing the harp. She’s even a student of the harp maestro, Eddy Moore.”
Miranda nodded. “I’ve heard about that too. Shirley is really skilled at the harp and a student of Eddy.”
Ashley laughed meaningfully. “Eddy.”
Bryce looked down at her, starting to bicker again. “Your friend plays the harp, too. Can he be taken. as a student by Eddy?”
Ashley retorted leisurely, “Why are you so nosy? Is gossiping your side job?”
Bryce was momentarily stunned.
He thought, “Wait a minute.
When Ashley was on the phone earlier, I vaguely saw the caller ID, and the name seemed to be “Eddy.”
‘Holy cow. It must just be a coincidence, right?”
Soon, the twenty minutes passed, and the recording of the show continued.
The setting moved from outdoors to indoors.
