Chapter 413
At the side, Viola chimed in. “It’s the same”
Zola confirmed again. “It’s not the same this time. It’s much simpler.
Viola chuckled, “How complicated do you want it to be? Last time, you only had a few lines, and now it’s just a few paragraphs. What more do you want?”
Although there was a hint of sarcasm in her tone, there was no malice..
It was merely a jest.
Zola frowned as if something had dawned on her at that moment
Could it be true!
She couldn’t resist asking. “Could you show me your script from last time?
“Wait a sec, I think it’s in my bag,” Viola said, rummaging through her bag. “Here it is. Last time, I had a couple of pages of lines, but this time, it’s only half as much! I might not even have any next time.”
Zola couldn’t help but sigh deeply.
Taking Viola’s script, Zola read it over and over again.
Finally, she was certain.
Her script from last time was different from theirs.
So..
Was Leopold giving her preferential treatment?
For a moment, her heart seemed to flutter.
But then…
She shook her head, feeling she was reading too much into it.
Leopold had gone to great lengths to keep her, to prove his judgment was sound. Thus, he had to ensure she shone in the previous match; otherwise, it would undermine his capability.
That seemed to be the case.
She shouldn’t have any expectations of Leopold.
It had been too many times.
It had only ended in humiliation for him.
Zola rehearsed with the other actors for the whole day.
Leopold didn’t show up.
Normally, he’d rehearse with the actors, but today, he merely sent some afternoon coffee through his assistant along with his instructions
After finishing rehearsal. Zola was about to leave when Quintinacalled

“Got any plan tonight?”
“Are you alright? Zola could tell Quintina was feeling down today.
“I want to go out for a drink.
“Three years have passed, and you’ve changed a lot. Quintina. You used to hate drinking the most. How come you’re suddenly so fond of it?”
“You’ve changed a lot too. You used to love drinking the most. Why don’t you drink any more?” Quintina retorted.
“Alright, I can’t argue with you, the great lawyer, Zola said helplessly. “Forget about drinking. I have rehearsals tomorrow. But I’ll have dinner with you tonight. I can watch you drink.”
Tll pick you up in twenty minutes.”
“Okay”
Zola waited at the TV station entrance for a while.
A few cars passed by
A car stopped. “You’re Zola Yvette, right?”
Zola was wearing a mask, but she didn’t disguise herself too much. She hadn’t reached that point yet.
At this moment, she was immediately recognized by someone.
“I watched The Art of Acting that you participated in. Your acting skills are really impressive. Keep it up. I supp
It was a middle-aged man.
Zola expressed his gratitude.
She wondered if her fanbase was already at this age.
However, she realized she was soon turning thirty
She was unable to compete with the young starlets in their twenties.
Zola Yvette?”
A sedan pulled up, and the driver, eager, approached her.
“Can I take a photo with you? I’m a big fan
Zola did not refuse.
“Thank you. Best wishes”
One after another, cars would stop, or the occupants would lower their windows to catch a glimpse of her
the finally felt the rush of popularity again
She was feeling a but pleased inside.
Hi, can we take a photo together?
“Sure Zula happily agreed
Just then Quintina leaned against the car door, teasing her

Chapter 413.
“When did you arrive? Zola pretended to be annoyed.
“I arrived when you were taking pictures with that gentleman, Quintina teased.
“They’re all fans,” Zola said, feeling somewhat smug.
She allowed herself a moment of pride.
It had been many yo
years since she had felt 1
this way.
51%
It had been years since she felt this way. Quintina smiled and joined Zola in the car.
The two headed to a fancy restaurant.
As they entered, they bumped into Joel.
Jaclynn wasn’t with him this time.
Joel was surprised to see them. “Hey, are you here for dinner as well?”
“Yeah” Zola nodded.
“What a coincidence, right? Leopold, Xavier, and I were just about to have dinner here. It’s been a while since Xavier got out of jail, and we haven’t had a chance to catch up,” Joel explained warmly, extending another invitation, “It’s better to meet unexpectedly than to plan it. Would you like to join us?”
Zola thought Quintina would decline, so she didn’t say anything
She couldn’t refuse Joel..
Ever since whatever happened between her and Joel, she felt somewhat inferior in his presence.
People really shouldn’t do wrong things.
They shouldn’t do things that would let others down.
It would haunt them for the rest of their lives.
“Sure,” Quintina agreed.
She agreed.
Zola looked at her in disbelief.
The Quintina she knew used to detest such gatherings.
Whenever there was a dinner involving Xavier, she would always steer clear.
What happened between Quintina and Xavier in the past three years?
Wasn’t Xavier supposed to be in jail?
Quinting wanted to develop feelings for Xavier, but it seemed impossible!
“Please, come on in Joel warmly invited
Zola felt compelled and followed them into a private booth.
Inside the room, Leopold and Xavier were already present.
The two of them were engaged in conversation.

Chapter 413
Between friends, no matter how long it had been since they last net, there were always plenty of topics to discuss
Just then, as the door opened. Xavier turned and teased, “Joel, you arranged this gathering. How could you be late…”
Then, as he recognized the newcomers, he suddenly fell silent,
Leopold also noticed Quintina and Zola.
His lips seemed to curl up involuntarily.
“Just bumped into Quintina and Zola here, so I invited them to join us, Joel explained as he walked in. Hope you don’t mind?”
Xavier remained silent.
Leopold said. “No problem.”
He was the typical peacemaker.
“Take a seat. Joel called out to Quintina and Zola. “Quintina, sit next to Xavier.”
“Okay, Quintina complied meekly.
And so she ended up sitting right beside Xavier.
Xavier, who had been sitting somewhat slouched, straightened up a bit when Quintina sat next to him.
Quintina felt a bit uneasy sitting beside Xavier..
Joel couldn’t resist teasing, “You two don’t seem like a couple at all. You don’t look as close as Zola and 1.”
At this moment, Joel was sitting beside Zola.
The five of them arranged themselves around a small table, with Leopold sitting between Xavier and Joel
Zola felt a bit awkward.
In the past, she would have brushed off Joel’s jokes, but now it was different
Damn guilt.
However…
Was this just a joke!
Was Joel just joking because there was nothing else between them?
She accidentally met Leopold’s gaze
