Chapter 725: Chapter 725: Stick Together
Some even kindled rumors that she is now the top celebrity in the company, but those were just rumors.
But seeing Teresa Gordon sticking around Hannah even for trivial matters like photoshoots, they started to believe it.
Within a day, Teresa arranged a schedule for Hannah that was so full she could only catch a break on the plane.
However, no matter how well one plans, there is always room for unforeseen incidents.
By the time they disembarked from the plane, the airport was suffused with people, not only were there the usual fans, but also the rampant paparazzi, each one brandishing their smartphones high.
Some even began live-streaming on the spot, continually crowding towards Hannah, nearly bumping into her. Hannah furrowed her brow, ready to sidestep, but found herself shielded by someone the very next second.
Jack Stewart, who had hurried over, was clearly irked at the paparazzi’s increasing brashness. With one arm guarding Hannah, he could hardly help himself from cussing them out, only to be stopped by Hannah.
Her voice was tinged with fatigue, but there was an indifference prevails, "Forget it, your curses will only benefit online gossip platforms."
Jack took a breath, his face growing colder. He shielded her and moved forward, complaining, "Can’t anyone control these people! I wonder how Teresa manages her tasks. Even last-minute schedules get leaked out. I certainly think she did it on purpose!"
Although paparazzis are annoying, they remain prevalent because some celebrities use them to boost their fame. If they lack fan support, these paparazzis can make enough noise to compensate.
Consequently, this fuels their audacious antics.
However, given Hannah’s popularity, she undoubtedly didn’t need to resort to such measures.
Plus, the stance of her agency was clear -- for safety reasons, fans should not be given her daily schedule or encouraged to receive her at the airport.
After all, this pleases only the vanity of few people and serves no real purpose.
Thankfully at this moment, Teresa had already gone ahead to prepare for the forthcoming fan meetup. Otherwise, yet another quarrel could have spawned between her and Jack.
The venue for the fan meetup was being decorated, with long tables assembled together and surrounded by pale pink balloons. The decoration was not exactly exquisite.
However, that did little to cool the fans’ fiery enthusiasm.
When Hannah arrived, the fans had already started to enter the venue, with long queues visible from afar.
Perhaps group bands that derived from auditions always had fewer dedicated fans.
One look was enough to reveal that Hannah’s fans constituted the majority. Yet, it was noticeable that fans from several stars intentionally grouped together, making it hard to distinguish whom a certain fan belonged to.
Jack was explaining to her at that moment, "While you were away to participate in the entertainment shows, some members of your band have started to stir. They intend to gain popularity by standing together, it amusing how they want to gain followers with your popularity while rejecting you at the same time. What a two-faced act! They drive me nuts!"
Hannah rolled down the car window slightly, lifting her sunglasses to look at the crowd.
Her face was mostly concealed, but the exposed, exquisitely red lips were enough to captivate one’s fantasy.
Among the crowd, she noticed a few familiar faces.
Jack happened to glance the same way, his irritated mood then slightly improved, "That’s Emily Lynch and her brother. Roy Yarn also wanted to come, but his family has been keeping a close eye on him recently, probably preparing him to take the reins of the family business."
Hannah nodded and leaned back, recalling something, "They still like me, don’t they?"
Jack paused for a moment, finally understanding her words.
