Mateo said with a charming smile, “Hi, gorgeous. I am Mateo Rivera. I am a singer and actor from Yorksland. I saw many reporters interviewing you. You must be a celebrity like me. Since you are also a celebrity, you probably know that fans frequently harass celebrities like us. Therefore, my bodyguards might have to be rude at times in order to protect me. You can understand that, right?”
Penny answered coldly, “I am not a celebrity! Furthermore, even celebrities have to abide by the rules. I hope you can apologize to this girl.”
Apologize?
In the past, Mateo would never apologize for anything.
However, he needed to leave a good impression on Penny. Therefore, he had no choice but to smile and apologize to the female student.
“It's all right,” the female student said softly.
Penny could see how insincere Mateo's apology was. She knew that he did not admit his mistake.
Nevertheless, Mateo had apologized, and the female student forgave him.
Therefore, Penny could not continue to detain him.
Since the matter was resolved, she planned to leave him.
However, Mateo called after her and said, “Wait a minute, gorgeous. I've told you my name. Do you not know me?”
Penny did not know this rising celebrity from Yorksland, so she answered indifferently, “Are you so famous that I should know?”
Mateo's assistant, Ollie, scolded unhappily, “Mr. Rivera is the hottest celebrity in Yorksland. He has won many awards. How can you not know him? You must be feigning ignorance.”
Mateo felt that Penny was a little arrogant. However, it made him want her even more.
He pretended to scold Ollie and said, “Although I am famous in Yorksland, it doesn't mean that I am famous here. Understandably, this gorgeous lady doesn't know me. Why are you scolding her? You are being rude.”
