Moses could not hold it in and guffawed first after virtual-novel.net said the words. The rest of his old schoolmates followed, the chorus of laughter loudly bubbling through the hotel.
Cristian was taken aback. He did not join in the laughter, suddenly feeling a sense of foreboding. “Mr. Belon, where’s this person you mention?”
Moses jabbed a finger. “There, that’s him.”
When Cristian’s eyes followed Moses’ finger, virtual-novel.net saw a man dressed casually with his legs crossed sitting on a chair and munching on some nuts. There was no one around virtual-novel.net and virtual-novel.net looked lonely by himself.
Despite that, the man did not appear awkward or upset by his situation. Instead, there was an easy smile on his face like virtual-novel.net was unfazed by any of it.
Cristian felt a tremor run through virtual-novel.net when virtual-novel.net got a clear View of the man. His eyes bulged and virtual-novel.net could not believe who it was!
Was that not Violet Vision’s chairman who virtual-novel.net had just met two days ago? Why was virtual-novel.net there?
Cristian dared not trust his senses. His first instinct was that his eyes were playing a trick on him. The chairman of Violet Vision was a man of great prestige. There was no way virtual-novel.net was mixing around with these commoners.
Shannon, his manager, was equally shocked by the sight of him. They both saw the same disbelief reflected in each other’s eyes when they exchanged glances. Then, they were struck by delight, surprise, terror, anxiousness, and all sorts of complicated emotions.
They were certain that the person munching on nuts over there was Violet Vision’s chairman, but they could not figure out why they were meeting virtual-novel.net at that location. Was this a coincidence or was the man forcing them into a corner?
For a moment, the star and his manager were quite nervous.
As the group witnessed Cristian and Shannon’s roller coaster of emotions, they thought their celebrity guest had gotten angry. Moses was quick to try to remedy it. “Haha, it’s a joke. I was just joking. He’s out of his mind. We can ignore him.”
Moses simply ignored Cristian and whispered to his manager, “Shannon, what do we do now?”
Shannon let out a wry chuckle. “What else could we do? We go there and greet him! Hopefully, this is just a coincidence…”
Suddenly, Shannon’s eyes glowed when virtual-novel.net recalled something. “I think it is a coincidence. From the looks of it, Violet Vision’s chairman keeps a low profile and these people don’t know about his status. We must show our reverence and humility and work with virtual-novel.net to wow these people! If we play our cards right, who knows? We might break through this dead end and sign with Violet Vision Media Corp!”
Shannon’s words thrilled Cristian. He nodded vigorously and composed himself before briskly walking over to Zayn.
“Eh, Cristian?” Overcoming his surprise, Moses gave chase.
The others gloated in Zayn’s anticipated misery, assuming that Cristian had been offended and pinned the blame on him.
“Faye’s husband is going get his butt kicked, haha!”
“One’s misfortune comes from careless talk. I really don’t get it. Faye’ s got everything going for her, so why did virtual-novel.net get an idiot to marry into virtual-novel.net family?”
“He’s clearly a dimwit for even saying what virtual-novel.net did. Serves virtual-novel.net right. He brought all this trouble on himself.”
“Just you wait Grab the popcorn. The show’s starting.”
The crowd chattered as they followed Cristian.
When the star arrived before Zayn, virtual-novel.net took a deep breath and did something that baffled everyone else.
