Chapter 246 An Accident Happened
Catherine was taken to dinner by Branden and then sent back to the apartment. She returned to her apartment to rest while Branden rushed back to the Duncan Corporation to continue working.
As the head of the Duncans, the job that Branden needed to do was not an easy one. Although there were a large number of brain trusts present, many important decisions still required Branden to personally make the call.
When Catherine returned to the apartment, she found out that Audrey was home, which was rare. Hearing the door open, Audrey looked up with a facial mask on her face.
When she saw that Catherine was back, she immediately jumped up and rushed up to hug Catherine recklessly. The scene was not difficult to imagine!
In a dimly lit room, someone with a face as if painted suddenly rushed toward Catherine. A normal person would be scared out of their wits even if they were not scared to pass out.
Catherine was probably the only one who was bold enough that she didn’t get scared. She dodged on her side with agility.
After she did so, Audrey was tragic. She almost couldn’t stop and crashed into the wall. But Catherine reached out in time and pulled her back. Audrey didn’t react until she stabilized herself. She was so happy that she forgot Catherine’s inhibitions and almost caused an accident.
After reacting, Audrey looked at Catherine silently. She looked like she was a child who made a mistake and was standing in front of her elders to wait to be punished.
“Kathy, don’t be angry. I didn’t do it on purpose. I’m just too happy!”
Catherine crossed her arms around her chest and glanced at her with a cold gaze.
“Too happy?”
Hearing that her words were a question, Audrey answered her quickly. “Kathy, do you know why I can apply a facial mask at home and do skincare so leisurely today?”
Catherine looked at her expressionlessly. She showed no interest in Audrey’s question at all. She wasn’t Audrey, and she didn’t follow Audrey to work. How could she possibly know what happened to her today?
Although Catherine didn’t look interested, her attitude couldn’t affect Audrey’s high spirits. She looked at Catherine with an excited face and recounted all the events of her day. Audrey had gotten used to Catherine’s indifferent look a long time ago anyway.
“Kathy, you don’t even know how good that new assistant is. She planned my time well. She even took the initiative to communicate with the director while I was waiting to shoot to put together all the scenes that could be filmed together. She helped me get everything ready, and even the director praised me for being well prepared.”
Catherine couldn’t understand. Wasn’t all this what an assistant was supposed to do? From what she knew, Audrey was now the number one female lead in the cast.
Not only that, Audrey was currently in the ascendancy, with the original one- month work schedule being abruptly changed to three months by the director’s team.
Because of the case of the former female lead’s accident, Audrey was considered to come to the rescue. The director’s team should naturally give her some preferential treatment over those actors who put on airs.
Audrey’s assistant only rationalized the filming time and provided her with more rest time, which was a very common thing in the first place.
Catherine didn’t understand why Audrey was so excited over such a small matter. Seeing Catherine’s expressionless face, Audrey was still immersed in her own happiness. She kept expressing her joy to Catherine.
“Kathy, where on earth did you find such a professional assistant for me? She is simply amazing!”
Facing Audrey’s question, Catherine responded very coldly. “Your company is stingy and doesn’t arrange assistants for you. I asked Grayson to introduce one to you!”
It seemed that the assistant Grayson introduced was quite reliable. Otherwise, Audrey wouldn’t be happy like this.
Catherine didn’t know how difficult Audrey had been these past few years. She didn’t rely on the background of the Swanns and fought her way through showbiz on her own, without accepting the hidden rules.
Her fame skyrocketed all of a sudden, and the plays she was contracted for kept increasing. She was happy but extremely tired at the same time.
Now that Catherine had arranged for such a professional assistant to lead her work and help her get her work in order, she was experiencing joy like never before.
“So, she’s the one Peerless Grayson arranged. No wonder she’s so professional. Kathy, I really owe it all to you this time. I’ve always said that you’re my little lucky star, and it’s true. With you around, I’ll have endless good luck!”
Looking at her giggling demeanor, the look on Catherine’s face involuntarily softened a bit. Her sister was really easy to satisfy!
According to Audrey’s current position, it was necessary to have an assistant. Even some cyber stars with little fame would go to events with one or two assistants.
Not to mention that Audrey was now considered a bit of a celebrity in showbiz, with some fame. Once she had her own work to support her, she would be able to establish herself in showbiz firmly.
There were many things that were not convenient for celebrities to handle on their own, and they could not always trouble their agents.
Things like communicating props and rehearsal time with the stage managers should be done by their assistants. So, assistants were not only the life nannies of celebrities but also the staff who helped them handle some docking tasks.
Audrey was just too nice. She had been bullied by Liana and Johnathan since she was a child, causing her to have a non-aggressive nature.
Audrey was still chattering excitedly about what had happened during the day. The cell phone inside Catherine’s pocket suddenly rang. She glanced at it and realized that the caller was Linda.
She connected the phone and put it to her ear. Watching Catherine answer the phone, Audrey finally stopped. She planned to wait for Catherine to finish answering the phone and then continue chatting with her.
Unexpectedly, Catherine’s face became obviously serious after receiving the call. Noticing this reaction, Audrey immediately felt that something was wrong. After Catherine hung up the phone, she immediately asked, “Kathy, what’s wrong? Is something wrong?”
Catherine nodded slightly, then said in a cold tone, “Leonel was hospitalized in a car accident. I’m going to the hospital to check it out!”
“What…”
Audrey shrieked. By the time she regained her senses, Catherine was already rushing out. She threw the mask on her face recklessly and rushed out together after Catherine.
“Kathy, wait for me. I’m coming with you!”
They both got into Audrey’s car. Originally, Audrey was going to drive herself, but before she could get into the driver’s seat, Catherine got in before her.
Audrey pulled open the passenger door immediately to follow. She was worried about Catherine. “Kathy, can you drive? How about let me drive?”
Catherine said calmly, “No!”
She refused Audrey while instructing her to buckle up.
“Snap!”
After the sound of the seatbelt locking sounded, Catherine pressed the accelerator pedal to the bottom. The original forty-minute drive was completed by Catherine in fifteen minutes. Audrey could only use one word to describe this journey, and that was thrilling!
After the car stopped, Catherine opened the door and got out. Audrey really wanted to keep up, but she was now weak in the knees. For the first time in her life, she had just experienced the feeling of adrenaline rising.
The speed of the car just now was so fast that she wanted to throw up. Her legs were still trembling even now. Catherine was driving too fast. Her driving skills were too excellent!
It was not too much to say that she was a super driver inside a movie!
