Chapter 89 - 89: Left Something Behind
After Audrey showed the five squirrel dolls and wrote the names of the three sorcerers, the staff at the front desk said with a smile, “Congratulations on completing the mission. This is our gift to the two of you. I wish you a happy life!”
The staff member took out two exquisite porcelain dolls from under the table.
“Ah, is this a pair?” Audrey held it up curiously.
Of the two porcelain dolls, one was dressed in a suit, and the other was wearing a pink dress.
The staff continued to smile. “That’s right. It’s just like how the two of you are a couple. ”
Evans and Audrey’s backs stiffened at the same time.
Audrey looked a little embarrassed. For a moment, she didn’t know how to refute. She could only put down the porcelain doll and say, “Yes… We don’t want it anymore. We don’t want it anymore.”
The staff member was shocked. Why don’t they want these dolls anymore?
Unexpectedly, Evans picked up the pair of porcelain dolls in time and smiled. “Why don’t you want such cute toys?”
Audrey looked up in surprise.
Evans had a faint smile on his face. “Let’s go. I’m hungry. Didn’t you say you wanted to treat me to a meal?”
Audrey looked embarrassed and quickly lowered her head to follow behind Evans.
During the meal, Evans spoke more than before and would throw a topic at her from time to time.
Audrey thought about what had just happened and answered him absent-mindedly. After the meal, the usually lively Audrey fell silent.
When the two of them walked out of the restaurant, the sky was already dark.
Audrey originally wanted to take a taxi back, but Evans insisted on sending her back. Audrey couldn’t refuse, so she braced herself and got into his car.
Along the way, the two of them didn’t speak again. Only when they were about to reach their destination did Audrey remember that she had forgotten to give Evans another gift.
Audrey suddenly felt stupid.
The car stopped near her house. Audrey got out of the car as if she was escaping, but she was stopped by Evans behind her.
“Audrey, you left something behind,” Evans said.
Audrey’s back stiffened. When she turned around, she saw Evans striding towards her and shoving a porcelain doll into her arms.
“One for each of us. It’s perfect.” He looked over her head, his eyes dancing with amusement.
Audrey looked up in a daze as she watched Evans leave. When she lowered her head again, she saw the porcelain doll in a pink dress smiling at her.
After a long while, Audrey’s lips curled up.
As she walked into the garden under the night sky, Audrey saw a familiar figure lying under the umbrella not far away.
Eric sensed Audrey enter the door and quickly took off his sunglasses.
“That was a long sleep,” he said.
Audrey greeted him. Eric casually placed his hands behind his back to support his head as he glanced at Audrey and said, “Why? Did you go on a date today?” Audrey felt a strange feeling in her heart, but she still denied it. “No.”
Eric clicked his tongue and slowly closed his eyes. “Alright, I won’t tease you anymore. I want to tell you that I’ve found the candidate for the male lead on behalf of Dean today.”
‘You’ve already found it?’
Audrey’s interest was instantly piqued. She ran in front of him. Under the soft light, Eric’s face was cast a shadow.
“Who is it?” she asked curiously.
Eric opened his eyes lazily, his light blue pupils reflecting the slender figure of the girl in front of him.
Suddenly, Eric’s eyelids twitched and he grabbed the porcelain doll in her hand.
“I didn’t know you liked this kind of thing.”
Eric played with the porcelain doll in his hand, and Audrey sat down on the chair beside him, still thinking about the topic from before. “You’ve already found a suitable male lead in such a short period of time?”
Eric looked at the smile on the porcelain doll and inexplicably felt that it overlapped with Audrey’s face. He said to himself, “Ah, yes! There are at least a hundred people who came for the audition. Everyone knows about Howard’s accident—as you know, the male lead of the ‘Goddess’ production team is quite popular with actors. Now that this role is up for grabs, everyone wants to give it a try.”
Audrey nodded in understanding.
Indeed, before filming started, the production team had already released the news.. With such a huge production, if the actors could rely on the roles inside to become popular, would they not have more resources in the entertainment industry in the future?
