Reading Juicy Gossip in Her Mind Chapter 181 Rely On Women

+5 Pearls

Overwhelmed by the anticipation of gossip, Isabella walked briskly. As she turned the corner, a person suddenly stumbled right in front of her, causing the box in that person's hands to tumble directly toward Isabella.

For a moment. Isabella couldn't stop in time. She was about to be hit by the scattered objects pouring out of the box when she suddenly felt a force around her whist pulling her back.

In the blink of an eye, Isabella found herself crashing into a sturdy embrace. Surprisingly, not a single fragment of the scattered objects had touched her.

At that moment, she was encircled by Alexander's arm around her waist. Looking up, she saw his other arm shielding her front. No wonder she hadn't felt any impact. It turned out that anything flying toward her had been deflected by Alexander's protective armis, "Are you okay?" A deep voice echoed above her, the underlying concern evident even through the cold undertones it carried

Isabella was slightly taken aback. "I'm fine. I'm fine.."

Alexander released Isabella, and only then did they both lift their heads to look ahead. They saw a young girl with a high ponytail, wearing a black mask, sitting somewhat awkwardly on the ground. A box had fallen beside her, spilling various cosmetics all around. The girl quickly realized what had happened, hastily stood up, and pulled down her mask, bowing in apology. "I'm sorry. I hope I didn't hurt you... Wait... Ms. Jeannet?"

Isabella recognized the person as well. She was the assistant makeup artist assigned to their group by the production team of "My Acting Skill." Isabella could recall that her name was Dakota Meadows.

"Dakota? Is that you?" Isabella asked.

Dakota probably didn't expect Isabella to recognize her. She immediately apologized, saying. "Im sorry, Ms. Jeannet. It's all my fault for not having a steady grip."

"It's all right, but y-you don't seem well," Isabella said, furrowing her brows as she looked at her.

Dakota looked rather pale, with dark circles under her eyes, clearly indicating a lack of rest. She appeared extremely fatigued and haggard, almost to the point of frailty. Just earlier, she had stumbled, barely managing to hold on to her belongings. Dakota, however, had a resilient spirit, one that couldn't be easily defeated. She quickly put on a smile and said, "I'm fine. I've just been too busy to grab a bite, and I guess I got a bit light-headed from hypoglycemia."

As they were talking, someone from afar was calling out for Dakota.

Dakota quickly said to Isabella, "Ms. Jeannet, you carry on. I won't waste any more of your time."
