Love's Change of Heart

Chapter 633 I Have News

Soon, Daphne came out after getting a makeover. Under the lights, she wore a black dress. Her hair was slightly curled and was let down to her shoulders.

Then, the director shouted, "Come on, everyone. The shoot will begin soon!"

Everyone in the studio shuffled around immediately, including Daphne's assistant, who hurriedly adjusted Daphne's dress.

On the other hand, Louis took a few steps back and stood in an empty corner while watching her.

Standing slightly further from him, Daphne discussed the additional shots with the director. While saying that, she nodded her head and smiled at him. "Thanks for the explanation."

Later, the shooting started.

The moment the spotlights started turning on one after the other, the entire studio was filled with bright lights and shadows. Daphne stood there with a bright smile, looking like a dazzling star.

She was born talented and destined to become a star. Louis looked at her briefly before withdrawing his gaze and exiting the studio.

Half an hour later, the shoot ended.

The staff members greeted Daphne in unison, "It's a wrap, Ms. Daphne! You've worked hard today."

"Thanks to all of you too." She offered a smile and thanked them. Then, as she was about to return to the changing room, she stopped and looked around. "Where's Louis?"

After hearing that, her assistant was flustered too. "He was standing there a while ago. Perhaps, he went out because it's too noisy in here."

Daphne thought it was possible. "Let's get changed first, then." After entering the changing room, she undressed and changed into her casual outfit. Then, she hurriedly took her phone from her assistant and went outside. She stopped in her tracks after taking a few steps.

"What's wrong, Daph?"

Staring at her screen, Daphne replied, "Nothing. Louis went back to campus." She saw the text Louis sent her 20 minutes ago.

"Why did he leave on his own?"

"It's his finals tomorrow." After saying that, Daphne kept her phone in her bag.

"No wonder. The director even asked me if he's your boyfriend."

Daphne was a little dumbfounded by that.

"What did you say?"

"I told him that Louis is your friend's brother. The director praised him for his good looks and asked if he would be interested in joining the entertainment industry. I told him that Louis has been signed under Jellyfish Entertainment." After saying that, the assistant asked, "Anyway, does he have a girlfriend, Daph?"

Daphne shook her head lightly. "I don't think so. When I chatted with his sister before this, she told me he has a crush, but he never confessed since he was afraid of rejection."

"He's good-looking and smart. Why would anyone reject him?" Daphne's assistant exclaimed in shock.

"Well, that's none of our business. Let's go."

…

After arriving home, Leanna decided to clean the house since it was still early. Looking at the little guy's toys and crib, she sat on the mat, falling into a daze. It had only been two days since she returned, but the days following seemed long and far away.

After a long while, she finally shook herself out of her thoughts and entered the bathroom. Once she re-entered the bedroom, she started working on the draft for Freya's ring. However, she wasn't satisfied even after drawing several versions. Hence, she tore off the page, crumpled it, and tossed it into the trash can.

When Leanna raised her head to look at the clock, it was already 1.00AM. Aidan isn't home yet. So, she grabbed her phone but put it down again. Never mind. We only got back here after a month. He must have a lot of work to do. Maybe he won't even come home.

Since she wasn't sleepy yet, she decided to continue her draft. At precisely 3.00AM, she finally felt the pull of sleep. Afterward, she stretched a little and got up from her seat. At the same time, there was a noise outside the door.

Following the sound of footsteps, Aidan came into the room and asked, "Are you still awake?"

She yawned and said, "I was about to go to bed. I thought you won't be coming home tonight."

Then, he yanked his tie, looking a little weary. "I might come home late these days. Go to bed first. I'm going to take a shower."

After hearing that, Leanna nodded and lay on the bed. She was about to fall asleep when she felt the other side of the bed sink before being drawn into a warm embrace. Afterward, she let out a low hum and snuggled into Aidan's chest.

"How did Charlotte do at work today?" he asked.

Leanna shut her eyes and replied, "Not bad. She's actually not as squeamish as we thought. She's probably bored in Jamesdon, and her family dotes on her too much. That's why she acts weird."

Aidan chuckled silently and ruffled her head. "Don't spoil her. Make her do anything you think she has to."

"Hmm—" After a pause, Leanna opened her eyes. "I might want to drop by Crossley Group tomorrow."

"Do you want me to come with you?"

"Nah. I'm only informing you." Then, she continued, "Now that we've settled the matter with Jimmy, the biggest issue in Crossley Group has been eliminated. Every project is running smoothly, and things are gradually getting back on track, so—"

Aidan took the baton. "Do you want to leave Crossley Group now?"

Leanna nodded. "We don't have much time left till fashion week, so I probably should start with preparations. Besides, Zoe is pregnant now. She can't shoulder the burden all by herself. Still… I still don't know whom I should pass the Crossley Group to."

"Xavier is now overlooking Crossley Group, so it shouldn't be a problem. You can go ahead and start your preparations for fashion week. After that, you can decide on the right candidate to take over Crossley Group."

"Okay."
