Rebirth: We Split Ways.. novel Chapter 182

Returning to the company, Penelope temporarily handed over all of the less important recent projects to her assistant, while she herself took the relevant information for the fashion show and carefully studied it.

At nightfall…

The top floor office of Diamoson was still brightly lit.

Ryan brought a pile of information to the top floor office. Looking at Penelope who was immersed in his world through the window, his eyes softened.

He knocked on the door, then pushed it and walked in.

As soon as he entered, he saw the design drawings scattered all over the place. Ryan bent down and picked them up one by one, and on the side, Penelope was biting the tip of her pen with a sad face.

Seeing Ryan, all her defenses collapsed.

"What do I do?! Ryan, I don't have any inspiration. I can't draw!"

Ryan picked up all the designs and organized them, then walked to her. "Take a break if you can't draw. Don't push yourself too hard."

Penelope pursed her lips.

"But one day has already passed, I only have two days left."

Ryan reached out and rubbed her head, then snatched the pencil out of her hand, pulling her hand in the process. "Take a break first. Come with me. Let’s take a walk outside."

Penelope was surprised.

"What? Where are we going?"

Ryan had a mysterious look and pulled her outside, Penelope's pace followed closely.

The two of them took the elevator all the way to the basement.

Ryan straight away stuffed her into the passenger seat, and she was a bit puzzled. "Ryan, where are you taking me?"

Ryan teased her.

"You'll know when we’re there."

As the words fell, the sound of the car's engine was heard, and Ryan's car drove out.

Looking at the buildings that flashed past outside the window and feeling the breeze that blew slowly, Penelope's heart which was originally restless also settled down a little bit.

Penelope had grown up in Lynnwood since she was a child and did not know much about shadow theater. She just saw that the way they performed behind the curtain with cardboard was very peculiar.

She could not help but ask, "What are they doing?"

Ryan pointed behind the curtain and said, "You see, they are manipulating the shadow people behind the curtain, then telling the story with popular tunes, while it will be accompanied by percussion instruments and strings so that people can't help but blend in. This is a cultural tradition."

Penelope nodded knowingly.

"I see, let's go over and take a look."

The two of them walked through the crowd to the front row, where the shadow puppet show was the familiar "Tale of the Western Chamber."

Penelope watched very carefully.

Until the end, she was not bored!

"Ryan, this shadow play is really interesting!"
