HOPE LOUNGE CAFÉ NO. 3
"It’s so empty here today!"
"Um, I heard that Diamond booked the whole place for a few hours. So, it won’t be open to the public."
"She really loves this place, doesn’t she?"
"I love it too. The beverages and desserts are just wonderful. How can we hate it?"
"I am feeling nervous. I haven’t seen her that close before!"
Julie watched the other fans like her chatting as she sipped her milk tea with a smile.
It still felt like a dream that she and the other four would be meeting their idol. There weren’t a lot of people she liked following as a rich girl. They all looked pretentious and every time she saw those celebrities, influencers and streamers, all she saw were people acting shamelessly at times just to get their money.
But Diamond’s approach to this whole entertainment industry was just too dumbfounding. It made her and her friends question her motives.
It made them so curious; they wanted to know what she was up to. She was probably the only person in Athary who dared to garner fans openly by using hundreds of thousands of dollars and didn’t get scolded much for it.
She was the first influencer in Athary she had seen so willing to spend money and object when her fans tried to give her money.
She was the first person with so much audacity to state boldly that she was rich and the fans’ money wasn’t that much. She didn’t need their money at all. With time, she also saw that Diamond didn’t need their money at all and that made them smitten with her.
She looked genuine and didn’t shy away from showing exactly who she was. When she is angry or happy, she will show it. Where else could they find someone like that?
In the end, they became loyal and super fans. And all the hard work of months was finally repaid.
So, what if her siblings thought that it was just a waste of time? Weren’t they the ones speaking about how the elders were starting to get curious about Diamond?
Julie doesn’t know what other secrets Diamond is hiding. What other industries she is involved in, but she knows that she has gotten a lot of attention. As for whether it was bad or good, that would be seen as time goes on.
For now, knowing that she would be part of the first group to attend an event with Diamond, she felt that her love and Continue reading more chapters on NovelHub for the best experience.
Thinking about how her other friends were anxiously waiting for reports at home, a smile involuntarily blossomed on her face. She wasn’t going to let them down.
"OMG! She is here!" suddenly the other fans exclaim, pulling her out of her thoughts.
Julie nervously looked towards the door where everyone else was facing. As soon as she looked in that direction, she saw her.
Her heart started thumping loudly as she stood on her feet, just like the other fans.
’That’s her in person. I am finally seeing her!’ Julie was so excited that her body was shaking and her eyes sparkling so bright like a diamond.
And the others were worse.
When Diamond stepped into the café, her whole face was twitching as she looked at these excited five fans. She was meeting for the first time.
From a distance, she could feel their love, adoration and worship being emitted from them. Seeing them that way, a smile blossomed on her face as a wave of relief and easiness washed over her.
Being able to evoke such reactions from these people who only knew her from the screen made her feel like her dream was coming true indeed.
That love she had always craved, and that attention. Wasn’t this what she was getting now?
Thinking about the millions of people from all over the world who loved her like these five, her eyes squinted happily and as she walked towards the fans, she raised her hand and waved at them, greeting, "Hello, JEWELS!"
And she got squeals in return, making her chuckle as she looked at the fans, who didn’t seem to believe that she was standing right in front of them.
Diamond affectionately looked at the five who were still acting up, turned her head towards the counter and nodded at the manager who was watching the drama.
"Get me a cup of milk tea and a chicken pie. And get these five what they want. It’s on me," Diamond ordered smoothly and the manager acknowledged the order and started getting to work.
Diamond then shifted her focus to the fans, who had calmed down a bit, and she grinned at them and asked, "Who wants a hug?" and she regretted it.
Moments later, Diamond sat with everyone at the table and the new orders were in front of them, looking very delicious.
She had expended a lot of energy a while ago. These five were too enthusiastic. They were literally latching on to her and couldn’t go.
Thankfully, after getting what they wanted, they all became civilized and now they were all seated.
Diamond looked at the four ladies and one man seated with her and found them more pleasing the more she did so.
"I will start with the introductions. I am Diamond, and it’s my pleasure to meet you," she started with herself before giving the floor to the five. "What about yourselves?"
It was a must that they should get to know each other. At least the basics. It would be awkward if they called one another ’hey’ just because no names were shared.
"I am Julie," the lady wearing a luxurious brand spoke first, and Diamond smilingly nodded at her.
She knew Julie. Julie was fan number 0007, a superfan and one of those fans who met with Ruby. She was also one of the two fans she assigned without using the normal procedure she had everyone go through.
There was no way she was going to leave such a superfan out of this event.
