Chapter 158

Leanna quirked a brow upon hearing so. "Don't think so."

"Oh, I want to go back to college again. The dating scene in the student days was the best. It's been a long time since I last felt that kind of infatuation."

"It'll have to be his call. I've asked him once, and he…" Leanna couldn't help shaking her head as she chuckled to herself when she recollected their conversation.

Sometime later, during their chat, a knock came on the door to their private room. It was the server bringing their dishes over.

Just then, someone passed by and happened to take an unconscious glance inside. A second after registering what they saw, they turned into the private room. "What a surprise to see you guys here."

Zoe and Leanna reflexively looked up upon hearing the voice to find it was Daphne standing at the entrance.

Daphne had been on set for the past few months, and she had also called to check up on Leanna when she heard about the incident. But who'd have thought she would bump into them right as she came back?

"Are you also eating here?" Leanna asked.

"Yeah, with A—" Daphne quickly swallowed her words and chuckled hollowly. "My boss has a lunch meeting about some film investment here, so he asked me to join."

Zoe didn't register who this 'boss' was. "How long until you guys finish the meeting? We'll wait for you. We're waiting for Nana's brother in the meantime anyway."

Daphne did a quick shift with her eyes before saying with a smile, "We're almost done. I'll come right over after saying bye. You guys can go ahead and eat. No need to wait for me; I've already eaten plenty."

"Sure, go ahead."

After Daphne left, Zoe grabbed an appetizer, and it wasn't until mid-eating that something hit her.

Daphne is signed under Pearson Group. Doesn't that make her boss…

Zoe lost her appetite in an instant, and her fork slipped, landing on her plate with a clink.
