With the car windows rolled down halfway, Sophie Kenwick could see half of Gary Lakes’ face.A ray of light happened to shine against his face, making him appear unusually sophisticated and fresh.Occasionally, young women would walk past his car, only to steal glances at him as they walked past.However, Gary remained emotionless from the start. He would occasionally look outside, ignoring them completely.Smoke swirled around in his car as he had been smoking inside, making him appear aloof and mysterious.As soon as he saw Sophie, he instantly put out his cigarette and got out of the car.Gary was sporting a beige woolen coat that had traditional motives over a white woolen sweater, as well as a pair of long pants and black Martin boots.There was an air of nobility to his tall frame.He quickly attracted a lot of attention from girls around him.Men like him could easily make any woman fall head over heels in love with him wherever he went.They felt enchanted just by loo
Gary Lakes smiled tenderly.Sophie Kenwick accepted the tickets with a beaming smile on her face. “Thank you, Gary.”“You’re welcome. Have you had lunch?” he asked.As they spoke, her stomach started growling, and her face reddened with embarrassment at the sound. Gary chuckled. “Hmm, sounds like you haven’t. Would you like to join me for some food?”Sophie began to nod but then hastily shook her head after that.She couldn't just run off when she needed to stay by Xyla’s side to protect her.Gary raised his brows briefly with a slightly curious look in his eyes. “What’s the matter? Are you turning me down?”“No, but I was supposed to eat with Xyla,” she told him.“That’s easy, we’ll get Xyla to come along,” he decided and then proceeded to call Xyla Quest on his phone.“What are you up to, Xyla?” There was a constantly tender look in his eyes.“I’m working. What’s up, Gary?” Xyla asked.“Let’s have lunch together.” “No, I can’t. I still have work to do,” she replied, gl
Sophie Kenwick felt happy when she thought about how she’d soon be able to eat.Her voice immediately pulled Xyla Quest out of her thoughts.Xyla composed herself and gazed at Sophie. “Yeah, let’s go. Aren’t you hungry?”Sophie nodded while she eagerly led Xyla outside. “Yes, I am starving.”“I’m sorry, I was so distracted with work that I forgot about you,” Xyla said.Sophie immediately shook her head. “It’s fine. I know you’re busy with work. It’s understandable.”Xyla felt her heart swell with warmth when she heard her words of consideration.By then, Gary had already opened the car doors to the passenger’s side as well as the backseat.It was currently lunchtime, so employees from surrounding buildings had all walked outside.When they noticed Gary, Xyla, and Sophie, they couldn’t resist staring at them, especially the women who stared at Gary in admiration.Meanwhile, Gary cast a soft gaze upon Xyla and Sophie. “Get in.”Xyla smiled before quickly getting into the backs
There was a warm sensation in her stomach, almost as if something warm was flowing through her.It felt very comforting for Xyla Quest.She subconsciously touched the part of her stomach that felt warm, where her baby was.Xyla knew fetal movement occurred a few months into the pregnancy, but she had never heard anyone describing the feeling as such.Aside from the comforting sensation, Xyla quickly checked her pulse to see if her vital signs were normal.Upon checking, she realized that she was unnecessarily worried and there was nothing wrong with her body.She immediately sighed in relief.Sensing that something was amiss with Xyla, Gary Lakes asked, “What’s wrong? Do you feel unwell?”She shook her head. “No, I’m fine.”Gary sighed in relief. “That’s great. Stanley will kill me if anything happens to you while you’re out with me."“That’s a bit over the top,” she chuckled.“Of course, it isn’t. Who in Atlantis doesn’t know that you are the apple of his eye?” Gary said wi
No matter what Gary Lakes said, Sophie Kenwick wasn’t convinced.He found himself being increasingly intrigued by this girl.Girls like her were rare these days.Despite many good job opportunities out there, she didn’t seem interested or even consider using her connections as a stepping stone to stardom.Instead, she willingly stayed by Xyla Quest’s side to be a bodyguard.Gary wondered briefly if Sophie was too intelligent or too daft.He perused her from head to toe, deciding it was probably the latter.“You’re quite unusual,” he declared all of a sudden.“Hehe, instead of unusual, you could say that I love Xyla a lot,” Sophie replied.“You shouldn't say this too often in front of Stanley, or I’m afraid he might think of you as his rival in romance,” Gary smirked.Sophie immediately chuckled. “That doesn’t matter, my brother knows I’m into men.”Gary laughed, feeling entertained by her.This girl was definitely interesting.“Gary, since you are one of the sponsors for J
“Sophie, you must have tickets to the concert. Could you sell one to me? I’m willing to pay any amount.”“Sophie, I’ve never said anything bad about you. I’m your fan. As long as you sell me a ticket, I’ll do whatever you ask me to from now on. Please.”Sophie Kenwick was speechless.Josh Batton’s fans were a passionate lot. Moreover, she felt touched by the things they said.She could sense how much these people loved Josh from the words they used.They were much bigger fans of Josh than Sophie was.As a fan, she could understand how they felt and empathized with them.She immediately turned to look at Xyla Quest. “Xyla, do you have any extra tickets to the concert?”Xyla nodded. “Yeah. I have one or two, depending on whether your brother goes."“Could you give it to me?” Sophie asked.Xyla shrugged. “Of course. Never mind concert tickets, I would give you the stars in the sky if that’s what you wanted.”Sophie immediately felt touched.After that, she published a Weibo po
After taking the screenshot, Sophie Kenwick saw a private message from the president of Josh Batton’s fan club.“Greetings, my name is Peach, and I’m the president of Josh Batton’s fan club. I wish to invite you to join our core management team. Would you like to do that?” Peach wrote.Sophie was apprehensive about joining them because she wasn't familiar with all this.Soon, she received another message from Peach.“Don’t worry, you don’t have to do much upon joining. We will only be chatting in the group and plan for upcoming events.”Sophie wasn’t particularly interested in this, so she decided to turn down the offer after pondering for a while.Then, she closed Weibo and began drinking her tea.Meanwhile, Gary Lakes and Xyla Quest were still talking about work while finishing their meals.***Today was the day of Josh Batton’s concert, where it would be held at Atlantis Stadium starting at eight o'clock in the evening.Although the concert only took place in the evening,
All of Josh Batton’s fans were wearing hairbands and holding glowing boards with his name on them, making them a sea of bright stars as far as the eye could see.There were up to 100,000 people gathered in the huge stadium.It was a grand sight to behold.In the center section closest to the stage, Annabeth Cates, Xyla Quest, Stanley Batton, Sophie Kenwick, Wilson Batton, Sharon Lindt, Henry Armstrong, Georgie Clementine, Rachel Wood, Sebastian Brenand, and Gary Lakes were all gathered there.The VIP seats were the best in the venue, but they were not open to outsiders. The people who occupied these seats were bound to be at the center of attention, surrounded by admiring looks.An upbeat song began to play.Josh, attired in a casual white ripped T-shirt, black pants with black Martin boots, soon appeared at the center of the stage on an elevated platform.The fast tune and dancing instantly hyped up the crowd.His hair was wavy with silver highlights on some strands. He had th
