Chapter 631 A Scholar Doesn’t Need to Study

"Wow, Louis, you look more handsome recently. More and more girls are interested in you, huh?" Zoe

teased while waving her hand at Louis.

That rendered Louis speechless.

He wanted to say something, but his attention was drawn to Charlotte, who was standing next to Zoe

and had a flushed face.

Seeing this, Leanna appeared from behind and began introducing, "She is Charlotte, and she is almost

your age."

Then, she turned to Charlotte and said, "This is my brother, Louis."

"H-Hello…" Charlotte stuttered.

Louis nodded slightly in response.

Someone happened to walk by at this point. Zoe tried to make room for the person but tripped herself

and almost fell to the ground.

Leanna quickly held her. Let's go into the private room first. It's getting crowded here."

"Let's go," Louis replied.

Leanna and Zoe then took the lead and walked ahead. However, as they walked, Zoe couldn't help but

turn her head back repeatedly, whispering to Leanna, "Don't tell me Charlotte is really interested in

Louis?"

Hearing that, Leanna turned her head and took a look.

Charlotte was walking alongside Louis, her palms clasped together. It was evident that she was

nervous, and this did seem a little weird.

Zoe then said, "I hope not. I was simply joking around earlier. But then again, young girls her age would

indeed fall in love easily with good-looking guys and would be drawn to the same type of guys over and

over again. Louis is both…"

"I don't think so," Leanna retracted her gaze and responded. "This is her first time meeting him. Maybe

she just has social anxiety."

"I was with her for the entire day, and believe me, she is not in the least bit socially anxious."

Leanna was stumped for words.

"Love at first sight is merely another way of saying being interested in the appearance of the other. Just

like President Pearson, it was all because of your beautiful face that he…"

Hearing that, Leanna hurriedly covered Zoe's mouth. "Okay. That's enough."

Zoe giggled as she yanked Leanna's hand away. "All right, all right. I'm only kidding. Ladies from

wealthy family backgrounds, like Charlotte, have seen all sorts of handsome guys anyway, and Lachlan

is no worse than Louis either. Let's not worry for nothing and just see how things go."

As they spoke, they made their way to the private room.

Right after they sat down, a waiter quickly came over to take their orders.

Charlotte had a lower tolerance for anything spicy, and Zoe wanted to reduce her consumption of spicy

food too. Hence, they ordered two pizzas, one spicy and one not.

After placing the orders, Louis asked, "Isn't Aidan coming?"

"He's not. He has work to do," Leanna answered.

Louis let out a light hum in response and said nothing else.

He was here today because he wanted to ask Leanna about the child, but since Charlotte was also

present, he didn't pursue that and decided to leave the matter until later.

Leanna was flipping through the choices of drinks. After asking the others to choose their drinks, she

asked Zoe, "Is Daniel coming?"

"I've no idea. He didn't pick up my call. Let's just proceed without considering him. It’s even better that

he doesn't show up; I can eat more!"

Leanna smiled when she heard that. At this point, her phone rang.

It was Daphne's call, saying that she was about to reach the place and asking Leanna which private

room they were in.

"The inside is quite confusing. I'll ask Louis to bring you here," Leanna said.

After hanging up the phone, she looked at Louis and said, "Daphne is reaching the entrance soon. Go

and bring her in."

Louis nodded in response and stood up.

After he left, Zoe looked at Charlotte, who had her gaze set on the door, and asked, "Charlotte, what

are you looking at?"

That startled Charlotte a little, and she hastily averted her gaze and shook her head. "Nothing. I was

just wondering when the food would be served. I'm hungry."

"I've ordered some snacks. They'll be served soon," Leanna responded.

Charlotte immediately put on a bright smile at that. "Okay!"

Her demeanor indeed showed that she was hungry and eagerly anticipating the food to be served.

Meanwhile, Daphne donned a black hat and a mask as her car stopped outside the pizzeria.

She then got out of the car. Looking around, she noticed many people, but Louis was nowhere to be

found.

Just as she took her phone out and was about to text Louis, someone grabbed her wrist.

"There are too many people here. Let's use the back door," Louis said.

Daphne subconsciously hummed quietly in agreement and followed him. It was only after they both

walked a few steps that she realized he was still holding her hand.

She opened her mouth while trying to pull her hand back at the same time. However, a few men and

women walked toward them from the opposite direction at this moment.

Seeing that, Louis gripped Daphne's hand even tighter and drew her slightly to the side to avoid them.

Daphne's mind immediately went into a swirl. She did nothing else but let Louis lead her into the

pizzeria through the back door, his hand still holding hers.

Perhaps it was the silence of the corridor, devoid of people, that made Louis realize what he was doing.

Then, he moved his slender fingers slightly, slowly retracting his hand.

To ease the awkwardness, Daphne quickly asked, "When did your sister return from Jamesdon?"

"Yesterday, I think," Louis answered.

"Is President Pearson here tonight then?"

"He isn't." After a brief pause, Louis asked, "Do you not want to eat with him?"

That made Daphne giggle awkwardly. "Well, I don't mean that. But for this type of casual get-together

with close friends in my spare time, I prefer him not being present."

"Don't worry. He's not here," Louis replied.

She patted her chest relievedly. "That's great. I have some variety shows coming up in a few days, and

if he's here, he'll definitely question me about them."

He went silent for a few seconds. "When are you leaving?"

"What?" Daphne couldn't get what he meant.

"Didn't you say you had a couple of variety shows coming up in a few days? When are you going to

leave for that?"

"Oh. I don't have an exact time yet. The schedule is uncertain for now as I have a few other jobs in the

next two days."

Louis pursed his lips slightly and did not say anything further.

Daphne then inquired, "How about you? Summer break is around the corner, right?"

"Yeah. My last paper is tomorrow."

That took Daphne aback. "Don't you need to study tonight then?"

"I don’t need to," he replied.

She couldn't help but sneer in her heart when she heard that. A scholar doesn't need to study, huh?

After a few steps, she asked again, "Will your agency be arranging jobs for you during your summer

break?"

She had heard about Louis' refusal to participate in any audition previously. He had informed his

agency that he would prioritize his studies and had asked that jobs be scheduled solely during his

vacation.

It was, in fact, a wise choice. He was still young, and it was good for him to view the entertainment

industry as only a means of gaining early practical social experience.

For scholars with high intelligence like him, it was completely a waste of talent for him to enter the

entertainment industry.

Louis went silent for a moment before responding, "Jobs have already been arranged."

"All right," Daphne replied. "You can look for me if you have any problems at work. After all, I've worked

in the entertainment sector for many years. I'm not only your elder sister but also your senior who

knows the industry better than you."

Louis simply pursed his lips and hummed quietly in response, saying nothing else.

Soon, they arrived at the private room.

"You head in first," Louis said.

"What about you?" Daphne turned her head around and asked doubtfully.
