For example, just a few days ago, she saw an entertainment news story.
It was about a female artist who had appeared on a variety show with Maddox. During the show, they had some interactions.
But overall, their interactions were limited.
Nevertheless, her fans forcibly applied various "romantic filters" and deliberately edited many so-called "sweet interactions."
Although Maddox did not rise to fame as an Idol, he is one of the most popular young idols in today’s entertainment industry, garnering lots of female fans.
Naturally, they could not bear the shipping of their beloved Maddox by the female artist’s fans.
So, a large number of Maddox’s fans went to that female artist’s blog to criticize her.
They scolded her severely.
And even got her on the hot search list.
Unbelievably, she became infamous through this method.
She made it to the top ten on the hot search list for three consecutive days.
Even before this, there had been other female artists who had used the same strategy.
Deliberately shipping themselves with Maddox, trying to gain fame by riding his popularity.
Even if it meant becoming infamous, as long as they were noticed.
Having no recognition was worse.
Perhaps Maddox’s agent had grown wary of these female artists leeching off his client’s popularity.
So, whenever they saw a female artist get close to Maddox, their instincts told them that she was there to gain fame from their client’s popularity.
Thinking about this made Joanna feel less resentful.
Since they had such concerns, she decided to avoid contact with Maddox as much as possible.
After all, as male artists like Maddox with such high status, they were not on the same level as her.
She had never intentionally tried to get close to him.
"Mr. Allenson, since you are busy, we will not interrupt any longer. I have to pack as well. So, we’ll be leaving now. Goodbye."
Worried that Maddox’s agent would think she was scheming to get attention, Joanna didn’t wait for Maddox to respond and pulled Nina away from him.
"Joanna, wait a minute..."
Nina was dragged into the elevator, her eyes still fixated on Maddox outside. She sounded anxious, "Joanna, I want to get an autograph. Don’t rush away, wait for me."
The elevator was about to close.
Nina quickly pressed the door open button, and dashed out like a gust of wind once the door opened.
Joanna saw her run up to Maddox, take off her backpack and rummage around to find a pen and a notebook. Then, blushing, she asked Maddox if he could sign an autograph for her.
Maddox was taken aback for a few seconds before accepting the pen and notebook with a smile and quickly signing his name.
After signing, he handed back the notebook to Nina.
Nina took it, looked at his signature repeatedly, and couldn’t help but smile so wide that her eyes squinted into slits.
It was clear how happy she was.
Nina returned triumphantly, still cradling the notebook.
"Joanna, look, Maddox signed an autograph for me, and even gave me a blessing!" Nina showed off the notebook, "Wow, he’s so friendly and approachable, not conceited at all."
"And his handwriting is so beautiful, just like him."
"Now I know why he’s so popular. Handsome, kind, and humble - if someone doesn’t make it big, it’s simply an injustice."
