Diamond changed into sportswear before leaving the foundation with a group of staff.
She got into her car and drove away smoothly, followed by the black SUVs.
The marathon starting point was on the other side of the CBD. For this event, the traffic department had closed some roads to allow the runners to do their thing without obstruction.
As she drove to the destination, she spotted several police cars patrolling. She couldn’t help but nod with satisfaction, feeling happy with her city’s law enforcement for being dedicated to the safety of the people.
It took Diamond less than forty minutes to reach the destination and as her car approached; she noticed that the number of police offers had increased as well.
There were several people gathered and standing behind the railings set. These people were here already to cheer for the runner.
Seeing them, Diamond felt touched. Although they weren’t running, the fact that they came out on such a day to Find your next favorite novel on NovelHub today!freewebnøvel_com
Diamond’s Aclerean was the only one in the city. So as soon as they saw it, they knew her identity, and she was directed to a special parking lot.
Diamond didn’t reject such a favor and parked her car in that special lot. At least where she parked her car, she wouldn’t have to be worried about any damages.
With her arrival, a lot of people who were her fans were squealing with happiness.
Diamond alighted from the car and brought her sports bag. She passed the briefcase to Admire to hold and headed for the stalls where she wanted to check what was happening there.
When she got there, her eyes squinted happily upon seeing the stall. It was spacious and filled with all sorts of merchandise. That was what they agreed on during the meeting. They discussed how to promote the foundation.
With so many goodies on the stall, she didn’t believe that the foundation would still remain less popular.
With everything checked, Diamond was brought to the committee members in charge of the marathon and officially registered. She got her number and plastered the sticky plaster on her thigh.
Not sure what was happening, but the marathon starting time got pushed to 1 pm, so Diamond found herself with more time to play around. Or rather greet several enthusiastic fans who were standing closer to the starting point.
They were easily spotted as they kept on shouting her name while waving colorful scarves. Seeing the colors of the scarves, a smile blossomed on her face. Without them calling her name, she would have come to the same conclusion as well.
Since they weren’t many, Diamond went to have a chat with them while taking selfies and autographs.
"Diamond, you look pretty both on screen and in real life!"
When Diamond heard that, they showed a smug smile, feeling good with such a compliment. Her fans, seeing that, squinted happily knowing that they had managed to make her happy. Her fans knew how much she loved being complimented as well.
Diamond also complimented them in her own way, and everyone was happy.
What made her happier was seeing how these fans had brought her the snacks she jokingly talked about during her broadcast. Seeing the energy bars and chocolates, Diamond thanked the fans profusely and took them.
She didn’t refuse them. Since they had been given to her, she might as well take it. The money had already been spent, so why act pretentious?
Besides, chocolates and such snacks weren’t that expensive. That was why she dared accept it.
With so many things to hold, Diamond gave some to Admire and let them help her bring them back to the stall.
Once she got there, she didn’t forget to take several pictures and upload them online.
[DIAMOND (V): A gift from the JEWELS! I think that I now have the energy to do better today!]
After posting that, she logged out and started setting up the drones. It was around noon and all runners were in place. Everyone was just preparing for the clock to start.
Diamond had promised to set a broadcast for the foundation. That was why she brought another drone with her.
After connecting the first drone to her accounts, she connected the second drone to the foundation’s social media accounts.
Once that was done, notifications were sent to all followers, and they hurriedly flooded in to watch their favorite person.
Since the marathon hadn’t started, Diamond decided to chat briefly with the fans while explaining several things to them.
This was a special day, and she believed that the fans would be enthusiastic about helping her.
"Hello everyone! Thank you for coming in such large numbers," Diamond started off by greeting and thanking the fans before answering a few silly questions from them.
Noticing that the runners were starting to gather, Diamond knew that she didn’t have time to chat as much as she would wish for, so she got straight to the point.
"The marathon would be starting in a moment. There are three groups and I am in the third.
Before I start running, there are a few things that I need to talk about. As you all know, today is all about charity and as a special day, I will do something special for you!"
[If we can do it, we will gladly do it!]
"I promised the fans that on this day, I shall release Shining Star on the GEM app. That is indeed the case. I shall drop it as soon as the marathon starts and it won’t just be on that app but on other public platforms such as GoodMusic and Goodify. However, this isn’t what I want to talk about.
What I want to talk about are the missions of today. As long as you complete these missions. I can promise you that I will let you listen to my other songs you haven’t listened to as of yet."
[Diamond, you are telling us that you indeed recorded the songs already?]
[Haha, I had an inkling and now that dream is coming true.]
[If you want gifts, this lady will recharge. What do you need to let us listen to the songs?]
[I want to know when they can be found online!]
Seeing the positive remarks, Diamond beamed.
