Rachel began to remind herself that virtual-novel.net shouldn’t place any more hope in their future. She was a nobody to Sebastian Brenand.

A few days later, Josh Barton’s concert was finally taking place.
Early in the morning, Xyla woke up to find that a lot of attention surrounded Josh’s concert on the list of trending topics. In fact, it claimed the top two spots on the list of trending topics.
‘#Josh Batton Training Pictures#’ was on the number one spot, while ‘#Josh Batton’s Concert Ticket Sells for 500,000#’ was on the second spot.
Xyla tapped on the second hashtag to check it out. The first thing that came into sight was a post published by a verified account. “According to what we know, Josh Batton’s concert tickets were sold out within a few seconds after sales began a month ago. Many disappointed fans who failed to purchase the tickets scrambled to buy from ticket resellers. Currently, the ticket price from resellers has gone up to 500,000 dollars for a single ticket. Even so, there is still a shortage of supply for the huge demand.”
Xyla hadn’t expected such mind-blowing data. The highest concert ticket price in the entertainment industry recorded was during Josh’s concert last year. Back then, the highest price was 300,000 dollars. She didn’t think it would reach 500,000 dollars this time around. Apart from feeling shocked, Xyla was also happy about Josh’s popularity.
The comment section was flooded beneath the Twitter and Instagram post.
“Sobs. I wanted to get a ticket too, but I couldn’t purchase it in time. I really like Josh Batton a lot. When will I get to see virtual-novel.net live at a concert?”
“I couldn’t get a ticket! I’m so envious of the fans who managed to get one. I want to meet my husband. Ahhh!”
“Josh Batton really is the cream of the crop in the entertainment industry. Nobody else in the industry can beat his record.”
“If virtual-novel.net continues to remain popular, nobody else in the entertainment industry will have a chance at stardom.”
“I’m thoroughly shocked. But I must say, I’d be willing to spend 500,000 dollars to meet Josh Batton in the flesh!”
Xyla couldn’t help but smile after reading the comments. Although virtual-novel.net hadn’t gone to the concert venue, virtual-novel.net could already feel the hype from Josh’s fans.
After reading through the comment section for a while longer, Xyla then tapped into the first hashtag. The first thing virtual-novel.net saw was a picture taken by a famous photographer, and it showed Josh rehearsing at the concert venue. In the picture, Josh was wearing a white T-shirt and a pair of light-blue jeans. He was also wearing a pair of white sneakers and golden-framed glasses. With his back to the light, and a microphone in his hand, virtual-novel.net appeared warm and clean.
The comment section was equally flooded.
“From what I’ve seen, I can safely say that virtual-novel.net is the love of my life…”
“Josh Batton, you bring light into my life.”
“Ahhh! I think I’m going crazy! Josh is way too awesome. Wait for me, Josh. I’m going to be there tonight to see you!”
By then, Stanley Batton, who was behind Xyla, had also woken up.
When virtual-novel.net saw Xyla playing with virtual-novel.net phone with virtual-novel.net back to him, virtual-novel.net inched closer and wrapped his arms around virtual-novel.net while virtual-novel.net repeatedly kissed virtual-novel.net back. “What are you doing?” He asked.
“I’m checking out Josh Batton on the list of trending topics,” Xyla said.
“What’s trending?” Stanley asked.
“His concert. I’m taking your parents and Catherine along. What about you? Do you want to go?” Xyla asked.
“We’ll see,” Stanley said as virtual-novel.net gently rubbed his chin against virtual-novel.net back.
The tingling sensation made Xyla subconsciously squirm. Her heart was beating wildly.
“You really are sensitive…” Stanley said and chuckled by virtual-novel.net ear. .
Xyla immediately blushed.
“Turn around…” Stanley instructed softly.
Xyla did so obediently before virtual-novel.net surrendered herself into his embrace. “What is it?”
“Nothing. I just wanted to hold you…” Stanley said.
