“When I saw the lovey-dovey clip of him and his wife on Weibo yesterday, I thought it was just a deliberate attempt to build a good self-image.”
“Same here. I totally didn’t expect them to be so sweet in real life. I’m stunned.”
“That girl is my life goal, man…”
***
When Xyla Quest returned to the airport terminal, she heard a bunch of girls screaming frantically.
“Josh Batton!!! Ahhhhhhhh!!!”
“Brother Joshhhhhh!!! I love you!!!”
“My boy! Mommy loves you!!!”
The screams pierced through her eardrums, sending a prickle down her spine.
Xyla subconsciously glanced in the direction where the irritating noises came from, and she was surprised to find a huge crowd.
There were at least thousands of people in the distance.
She could not even see where Josh Batton was.
All that came into her view were the frenzied looks of Josh’s fans.
All of them were so excited as if they were celebrating the New Year. Their faces and necks turned cherry red as they shouted at their beloved idol.
No doubt, this group of people was the center of attention of the enormous airport.
Amid the crowd, Josh was moving inchmeal under the escort of his assistant and several bodyguards.
The original assistant, who had been with him for many years, had gone back to his hometown to get married.
The girl next to Josh was the new assistant his company assigned for him. Her name was Annabeth Cates.
Though Annabeth had encountered all kinds of crazy fans since she started to work with Josh, she still felt uncomfortable about them.
She stood nervously in front of Josh, trying to block the fans who were trying to pounce on Josh.
Sweat, as well as exhaustion, washed over her.
On the other hand, Josh wore light blue outerwear with a plain white T-shirt inside. He completed his outfit with a pair of pale blue jeans and a pair of white shoes.
