Chapter 354  : Home

“Alright, familiarize yourself with the script first.” Eric’s face was expressionless. He pointed at a stack of documents in the corner and said, “That’s the script for Juliet’s mother. Go to the side and read it first, then memorize the lines.”

“Okay.” Becky had no objections and hurried to the corner.

All afternoon, everyone rehearsed in the auditorium. When it was almost five o’clock, Eric finally nodded and said that they were dismissed.

“Go back and read the script carefully.” Audrey smiled at Becky. “See you tomorrow. I’m looking forward to your exciting performance.”

Becky immediately nodded seriously.

On the way back, Audrey took the initiative to drive and let Eric sit in the front passenger seat.

Eric was very tired. Upon hearing Audrey’s suggestion, he didn’t refuse. Instead, he gave up the driver’s seat.

Audrey rarely drove, so when she started the car, it wasn’t very fast.

Eric leaned back in his seat and fell asleep before long.

Upon seeing this, Audrey turned on a gentle tune in the car.

Halfway through the journey, Audrey’s phone rang.

Audrey slowed down the car and connected her earphones to her phone before picking up the call.

“Becky, what’s wrong?” Eric, who was resting with his eyes closed, heard Audrey’s voice.

Becky was clearly nervous and uneasy. “Audrey… Are you home now?”

“Ah, we’re not there yet.” Audrey turned the steering wheel and said with a smile, “We’re still on the way. We’ll be home after making two turns.”

“What’s wrong? What’s the matter?” Audrey sensed Becky’s abnormality and couldn’t help but ask with concern.

“Audrey, can I, can I ask you for Senior’s cell phone number?” Becky said.

Before Audrey could react, Becky hurriedly explained, “No, I don’t mean anything else… It’s just that I can’t understand the script. I want to ask Senior.”

Audrey glanced at Eric’s sleeping face and lowered her voice. “My brother is asleep. I’ll talk to him when he wakes up, okay?”

Becky’s tone suddenly became cheerful. “Okay, thank you.”

“You’re welcome,” Audrey said. “If there’s anything you don’t understand, you can ask me.”

Becky seemed to have misunderstood Audrey’s meaning as she hurriedly said, “Ah… Audrey, that’s not what I meant. I only want Senior’s number because he was the one who changed the script. I thought that it might be better if I consulted him… I definitely don’t mean to look down on you!”

Becky’s overly careful behavor, as though she was afraid of offending others, really gave Audrey a headache.

If she remembered correctly, when she first met Becky, she was bright, innocent, and generous. She was not the same person as she was now.

At the end of the day, it was all because of someone.

Audrey sighed and said to Becky, “Darling, you don’t have to be so nervous. If you have any problems, just say it boldly. My second brother might not be in a good mood today… I’ll communicate with him. He’s usually very approachable.” Audrey’s words instantly gave Becky great courage. “Alright! Thank you!” Audrey smiled in relief.

The sun gradually set, and the gentle sunlight shone through the car window on Eric’s handsome face.

He raised his eyes slightly and looked at the building in front of him with a lazy expression.

Half an hour later, Audrey finally drove back to her house.

“Second Brother, we’re home.” Audrey unbuckled her seatbelt and looked at Eric.

“Second Brother?” Seeing that Eric didn’t react, Audrey called out curiously.

Eric leaned back in his seat and closed his eyes without any reaction.

“He’s sleeping so soundly…” Audrey mumbled before obediently staying in her seat and silently scrolling through her phone. Since Eric wasn’t awake, she would wait for him.

Audrey opened her chat with Elena.

Audrey: What have you been busy with recently?

Elena: Why? Did you miss me?

Audrey’s ears immediately turned red.

Audrey: Elena, can you be more serious?

Audrey quickly exited her chat with Elena.

Elena had changed a lot compared to before. However, Audrey felt that something was wrong. After Elena changed, sometimes, it was really strange to talk to her—or rather, it could be said to be ambiguous..
