When Winnie stepped into the room, Stella asked, “Where’s Chan?”
“He said he received a call just now and he wanted to dial back. He will come back soon.”
When Winnie sat down, she spotted Elaine who sat opposite her and asked, “Who’s this lady?”
Elaine said, “A little girl. Her name is Elaine James.”
Winnie smiled at Elaine, “Hello.”
Elaine was stupefied for several seconds when she saw Winnie, “Are… Are you Winnie Truman?”
Winnie gently nodded her head.
Elaine exclaimed excitedly, “I often see you on the TV. You’re so beautiful!”
Winnie replied with a smile, “Thank you. You’re so cute.”
Elaine clenched her fists and her face radiated pleasure and excitement. She looked very happy at the
moment.
After a short while, she released a post.
[Aww… City N is so wonderful. I don’t want to come back to Riverside!]
Archer liked her post two minutes later and then messaged her.
Archer: I understand that you’re very happy as you could leave Riverside, but you’d better delete the
post.
Elaine:?
Archer: I’m afraid that your father would pass out when he sees the post.
Few members of the James family knew that Elaine had secretly left Riverside, ad her father had
curbed the spreading of this piece of news.
If other members of the James family knew that Elaine had left Riverside and come to City, it would
definitely cause a great commotion in the James family.
Elaine pouted, but she could only accept the reality and deleted her post.
Elaine: I don’t understand. The world outside is so wonderful, but my dad never allowed me to leave
Riverside.”
Archer: This will come to an end soon.
Elaine: Why?
Archer: I don’t know. Just wait.
Elaine: Haven’t you considered coming to City N? Guess whom I saw just now.
Archer: Whom else can you see except for Clarence?
Elaine: I saw Winnie. Seems like she’s Stella’s friend. She’s so kind and so beautiful.
Archer: …
Elaine: I remember that you’re her fans. Would you like me to ask for her signature?
Archer: No need. I will ask for it myself.
When Elaine and Archer were chatting happily, Channing came back to the room and the dishes were
severed on the table one after another.
Stella asked, “Elaine, didn’t you say that you’re hungry. Let’s enjoy the meal.”
Elaine pulled herself back to reality, put down her phone and began to enjoy the dishes.
Winnie, who didn’t know what had happened, asked in confusion, “Did you and Mr. Conrad go to
Riverside for a business trip? Why was it so long?”
Stella replied, “It was not a business trip. We went there to deal with some private matters.”
Winnie groaned a nasal sound when she heard the words. She didn’t probe into this matter.
Sherry said, “Oh, how about watching a movie after this meal? An anime was launched not long ago
and I heard it’s very exciting.”
Noticing that Sherry was looking at her, Winnie replied, “I’m fine with it.”
She paused and then added, “But Channing has an examination tomorrow. I think maybe he can’t
come with us.”
Channing replied, “You guys can go watch it. I will directly come back to school later.”
Stella asked, “Are you having final exams?”
Stella had been so busy recently that she totally forgot this.
Channing nodded his head, “Tomorrow’s examination is the last one.”
Stella said, “Let me send you back to school after this meal.”
“Don’t bother. I can hail a taxi.”
Winnie chimed in, “My driver is waiting for me at the door. Let him give you a ride. Anyway, we will go
to see a movie later and he can come back to pick us up after sending you to school.”
Channing didn’t say anything else when he heard the words. He had acquiesced in it.
Sherry curled her lips into a smile as if she was looking at a couple.
Sherry coughed and then said, “Then Chan, what do you plan to do after the examinations?”
“My company has arranged some work for me.”
“What kind of…”
Sherry suddenly paused as Stella gently stepped on her foot under the table.
Maintaining her expression, Stella put some vegetables into the pot, “Let’s talk while eating.”
Sherry immediately understood it and didn’t continue the previous topic.
Elaine was wedded to eating as if she was in a world different from theirs.
Noticing this, Sherry couldn’t help sighing emotionally, “It’s so wonderful to be young.”
After the meal, Sherry took out her phone, preparing to book film tickets. But right at this moment,
Winnie received a call.
The advertisement she shot several days ago asked her to reshoot some scenes and the producer
asked Winnie whether she could come now as there was little time left.
Winnie agreed. She put her phone back into her pocket and said to them, “I have to deal with some
urgent matters now. Please enjoy the movie. And see you next time.”
Stella nodded her head, “Be careful.”
Winnie stood up and said to Channing while putting on her mask, “The place I’m going is in the same
direction with your school. Let’s go. I will send you back first.”
Channing responded, “Okay.”
They then left together. Sherry was stupefied and asked, “Then should I… book the tickets?”
She proposed to watch a movie with the purpose of creating an opportunity for Winnie and Channing to
get along with each other. Should they still go since the male lead and the female lead had left?
Stella chuckled, “Let’s go home.”
…
In the car…
Channing had been looking out of the window, seeming to be pondering something.
The producer made several calls to Winnie’s assistant consecutively, asking her when Winnie would
arrive.
Right at this moment, Channing turned around and said, “Go there first.”
Winnie’s assistant froze and then subconsciously looked towards Winnie.
Channing continued, “I’m not in a hurry to come back to school. It won’t take too much time for you to
reshoot a scene.”
The assistant asked tentatively, “Winnie, should we go to the filming studio first?”
Winnie pondered for a while. Since the producer had been urging her, she decided, “Okay. Go to the
filming studio first. We can get out of the car when we arrive and the driver can directly send him back
to school.”
It wouldn’t delay too much time in this case.
Channing slightly pressed his lips together and didn’t say anything.
Half an hour later, the car stopped in front of the filming studio.
Winnie got out of the car. When she prepared to ask the driver to send Channing back to school,
Channing followed her out of the car.
Before Winnie could say something, Channing said, “It’s still early now. I want to see what it’s like to
shoot an advertisement.”
Winnie was lost for words.
Not long ago, she told him that she was his senior and asked him to turn to her if he had any problems.
With this excuse, she couldn’t refuse his request.
Winnie coughed and said, “All right.”
Then she strode into the filming studio.
Channing followed behind her in steady paces.
When they walked into the filming studio, a staff, who had been waiting for them, hurriedly walked over,
“Ms. Truman, thank you for your cooperation. Let me take you to the room to wear make-up.”
Winnie Truman nodded her head and turned around to glance at her assistant, suggesting her to take
good care of Channing
Right after Winnie’s leaving, the director spotted Channing. He couldn’t suppress his curiosity and
asked, “Is… Is this Ms. Truman’s boyfriend?”
Winnie’s assistant hurriedly waved her hands, “Nope… He’s the brother of one of Ms. Truman’s friends.
He’s still a university student.”
The director smiled apologetically at Channing, “Sorry, sorry, I misunderstood it.”
Channing secretly smiled and said, “It doesn’t matter.”
The director continued, “You look so handsome. Do you consider becoming a star?”
Winnie’s assistant interrupted him, “He has signed a contract with JH Film Company. Director, you shall
drop your dream.”
