"Stop watching. Let's go. We have something important to do." Seeing Derek absent-minded, Wilder elbowed him to get his attention.
"Wilder, do you think married couples still feel passionate about each other after many years?" The sudden question startled Wilder, who was still single.
"How should I know? Only married couples know how marriage works." Afraid that Derek might really fall in love with Janet and get himself into trouble, Wilder warned him, "Whatever it is that you're thinking, stop it. I've heard that Brandon and his wife have a really strong relationship that no one can destroy. Besides, the Larson Group is not easy to deal with. Your career is on the rise. Don't misstep at this moment."
But Derek didn't take Wilder's words seriously.
Love and women were just games for him. He was once involved with a married woman, and she left her husband for him; but in the end, Derek didn't choose to be that stupid woman.
On the other hand, Janet wasn't interested in him at all, which caught his attention. He hadn't been so excited for a long time.
"Wilder, I know what I'm doing." Derek put on a mask and took his backpack, walking forward in a relaxed posture.
Feeling helpless, Wilder patted his forehead and sighed. Even if Derek told him there was nothing to worry about, Wilder knew that he was definitely planning something.
"Don't go through the common exit. I was informed by the company that many fans are waiting for you outside there." As he spoke, Wilder pulled Derek towards the VIP exit. "Let's leave quietly through the VIP exit. We still have work to do in the afternoon."
However, the stubborn Derek jerked his hand away. "My fans have been waiting for me for a long time. How can I let them down? Besides, if I have plans to build my career here, I'll need to get along well with them."
Thanks to his fans, Derek became successful. He knew that, so he didn't want to disappoint them.
Unable to change Derek's mind, Wilder had no choice but to sashay his way through the common exit behind Derek. Walking out of the airport, Derek immediately caused a commotion among the people outside. He took off his sunglasses and waved at his fans who were screaming and raising banners with his name on them.
Fans who came to see him blocked the exit. It was hard for Janet not to notice Derek as she and Brandon walked past the exit because his looks really stood out, and many people surrounded him.
