Chapter 646 You’re Not My Sister
After about half an hour of rest, the recording resumed.
Leanna and the others stayed there the whole afternoon, waiting for the end of their work shift so they
could celebrate Louis' first day of recording with a dinner together.
But waiting meant waiting until late at night.
Charlotte had already fallen asleep while leaning on Leanna's shoulder.
Zoe yawned several times with her eyes fixated on the screen.
Finally, the recording ended.
Tina was the first to come out, looking visibly impatient.
The director said, "Thank you all for your hard work. We have ordered a meal, so why don't we eat
together before you go?"
Tina didn't respond and looked at her assistant. "What are you waiting for? Haven't you eaten food
before? Let's go."
The assistant quickly brought her things and helped her put on her coat.
Tina pulled her coat tight and left with an air of arrogance in her high heels.
The director didn't bother with her and turned to Daphne. "Ms. Daphne, would you like to eat with us?"
Daphne smiled slightly. "Thank you, but there's no need. My friends have been waiting for us, so
maybe next time."
"Okay, then we won't hold you up."
Daphne nodded in agreement and turned to Louis. "Tell your sister and the others that I'll be out in a bit
after I've removed my makeup and changed my clothes. You guys can just wait for me outside."
"Okay," Louis replied.
As soon as Daphne left, the director stopped Louis. "Is that your sister?"
"Yes," Louis replied.
"She's very beautiful; won't she consider joining the entertainment industry?"

The director sighed. "It's a shame. Maybe you could ask her?"
"There's no need to ask. She has a child to take care of, and her main job is being a designer, so she
doesn't have any spare time."
The director was surprised. "Is she already married?"
Louis paused for a moment before responding, "Yes, she is."
"Okay then."
"Well, I'm going to go now," Louis said.
The director patted him on the shoulder. "You did well today. I hope we can have more opportunities to
work together in the future."
Louis nodded slightly.
He then walked over to Leanna and the others and said, "Okay, let's go."
When Charlotte heard his voice, her head slipped off Leanna's shoulder before she sleepily asked,
"Huh? Did we have breakfast already?"
Leanna chuckled and patted her head. Removing the things on her lap, she stood up. "Let's go for
supper."
Prior to this, they already had dinner provided by the production team in the afternoon.
Zoe also got up and stretched, asking, "Where's Daphne?"
"She's changing her outfit. Let's wait for her at the entrance."
"Okay, let's go out and get some fresh air to clear our heads," Leanna said.
As they walked, Charlotte rubbed her eyes and yawned.
Outside the studio, a wave of heat hit them even though it was already evening. It was summer, and
the wind carried a stuffy heat.
Standing outside, Leanna said to Louis, "I'll take them over first. You ride in Daphne's car and come
with her later."
Louis didn't say anything and simply nodded.
After 20 minutes, Daphne came out of the studio and asked, "Where are Leanna and the others?"
"They went ahead. They told me to wait for you," Louis replied.
Daphne said, "I'll call a cab."
"Where are your driver and assistant?"
"Rosa has a family emergency, so I asked the driver to send her back first." Daphne took out her phone
as she spoke.
"Why don't we just walk? The restaurant isn't far," Louis suddenly suggested after a brief pause.
Daphne paused for a moment and replied, "Sure."
There weren't many people on the street at this hour, so Daphne took off her face mask and put it in
her bag.
As they walked, she asked, "Is entering the entertainment industry what you expected it to be?"
"It's just a job and not much different from any other," Louis replied.
Daphne lowered her head and continued walking, blurting, "I've been wanting to ask you a question."
"What question?" Louis asked.
"Why did you agree to enter the entertainment industry? I feel that with your personality, you wouldn't
like this job," Daphne said. "Don't get me wrong, I just feel like you're still young and have so much
potential. You're only in your freshman year now. After graduation, you can choose a job you like, so
why do this now?"
"Because I don't want to be a burden forever," Louis replied flatly.
Daphne didn't quite understand his meaning and asked, "A burden?"
"Since I was young, Leanna has always been the one standing in front of me and shielding me. She
puts me first in everything before herself. She has given up a lot of things many times because of me,"
Louis explained calmly without much emotion. "The current me can't do anything. This is the quickest
way."
Daphne listened and thought that she understood; she thought he was quite right. Having fame and
fortune gave people a voice.

Louis' decision wasn't surprising to her.
Daphne said slowly, "If Leanna knows that you have such thoughts, she will definitely not agree with
you doing this. She has always thought that you entered the entertainment industry because you like
it."
"Don’t tell her."
"Don't worry, I won't tell her."
"Don't tell her about what happened this afternoon either," Louis added.
Daphne realized what he was referring to and asked, "When did you start smoking?"
"A long time ago. I don't remember when," Louis replied.
Daphne nodded slowly. "Okay, I won't tell anyone. No matter what, since you can talk to me about
these things, it's because you trust me and think of me like a sister, and I would never betray that trust."
Louis was quiet for a moment. He stopped in his tracks, making Daphne turn around in surprise.
"What's wrong?"
Louis said, "You really want to be my sister?"
Daphne was caught off guard by his question and was taken aback before she laughed awkwardly.
"Your sister and I are friends. I've always treated you like a little brother. If you don't like it, I won't say it
anymore."
"It's not that I don't like it," Louis said, enunciating each word. "I've never thought of you as my sister."
Daphne was surprised by his words and didn't know what to say. However, she felt disappointed all of a
sudden when hearing that. She looked down at the shadows on the ground and nodded. "Oh."
Louis continued, "In the future, don't treat me like your little brother. I'm a normal man."
Daphne furrowed her brows, feeling that there was something strange about the second half of his
sentence.
It was strange enough to wash away the faint disappointment she had just felt.
She cleared her throat and changed the subject. "Anyway, we need to hurry up. Your sister and the
others have probably been waiting for a long time."
With that, she began to stride forward quickly, almost as if she was about to start running.
Louis watched her silhouette and followed slowly.
