“Josh, what can I do for you?” Annabeth Cates looked at Josh Batton earnestly. She seemed very careful.
“What’s my next appointment?” Josh asked.
“Next, we’re going to City K to shoot for S Magazine’s cover and a few pages within…” Annabeth said seriously.
“Okay.” With that, Josh slowly closed his eyes and didn’t say anything else.
The song ‘As Friends’ was still playing on repeat on his earphones.
Annabeth knew that he was exhausted now. Hence, she didn’t say anything further.
Even without saying anything, Josh still glowed by just silently listening to music with his eyes closed.
“We’ll probably be working until very late today. You’ll still be very busy tomorrow. Perhaps, you might only get three hours of sleep tonight. You should rest some more during the ride,” Annabeth reminded earnestly.
“Understood,” Josh said indifferently without opening his eyes.
Approximately an hour later, Josh and Annabeth arrived at Atlantis International Airport with a group of bodyguards.
In the huge airport, every floor from top to bottom was packed with Josh’s fans.
Airport security staff were nervously trying to maintain order.
The fans here were very crazy. When those on the first floor saw Josh, they started pushing forward with all their might.
The fans on the floors above started running down like crazy people.
The airport was in an extremely chaotic state…
Suddenly, the sound of fans screaming and shouting nearly drowned out everything else.
The bodyguards who came with Josh quickly formed a human barricade in front of him and led him inside. However, each step of the way was difficult…
Meanwhile, Annabeth stood in front of Josh and walked with the bodyguards to open a path for Josh as she repeatedly ushered the fans. “Step aside… Step aside…”
However, none of them listened.
Josh had gotten used to all sorts of scenes…
“Josh… Ahh.. Look at me… I’ll always support you.”
“Josh, please look after yourself… It’s easy to catch a cold when the seasons change. Wear thicker clothing in early mornings and evenings…”
The fans were screaming so much that their voices nearly hoarse.
Annabeth’s forehead was sweating profusely from pushing through the crowd…
Fans kept pushing against the bodyguards who walked with Josh. The space between Annabeth and Josh was getting smaller and smaller.
Her face quickly turned red.
When Josh saw this, he instantly extended an arm and naturally pulled Annabeth protectively behind him. Then, he grabbed onto Annabeth’s shoulder bag strap with a single hand and led her forward.
His movement seemed extremely smooth and natural. It was very cool…
At that moment, Annabeth felt her heart beating wildly as if a deer had run into it.
