Eleanor Hollis nodded, trying to act as normal as possible, but as soon as she entered the KTV, she spotted a man.
Who’s the hottest man in the entertainment industry right now? If there were a poll online, the top spot would undoubtedly go to Julian Sterling, who has won several Best Actor awards in a row.
Eleanor Hollis stood dumbfounded in place, watching the man who was chatting with the waiter, unable to take another step.
She rarely watched TV series, but she hadn’t missed a single one or any of the movies starring Julian Sterling, making her indeed a hardcore fan.
Now, her dear idol was right in front of her, she thought she was dreaming!
Eleanor Hollis’s face turned red, and she quickly rummaged through her bag, but found no pen, so she could only take out her lipstick. Seizing the moment when Hugo Quinn was lost in thought, she immediately walked over to Julian Sterling.
"Julian Sterling, can I have your autograph? I really like you."
The man who was gently conversing with the waiter was surprised to hear this voice and looked up. The KTV had already been booked for private use, so how did this person get in?
However, meeting a fan, his attitude was quite amiable, and he immediately smiled.
Eleanor Hollis’s heart beat wildly, and her face flushed uncontrollably.
This person was even more attractive than on screen, he was tall in real life, looked gentle and refined, and his voice was so pleasant.
Back when she had just started college, Julian Sterling had just entered the entertainment industry. In a few short years, he became phenomenally popular, and at that time, she often shared news about this man with her roommates.
A girl from the slums idolizing a star, it’s truly a luxurious thing.
Julian Sterling saw the lipstick she handed over, his eyes flickering slightly. Did this woman know the implication of signing with lipstick?
Female fans usually do this to hint something to their idol.
He glanced at Eleanor Hollis, noting her petite and pure appearance, the corners of his mouth lifted slightly, not expecting her to be so forward in private.
"Would you like to take a photo together?"
He said gently, closing the lip cap and returning it to her.
Eleanor Hollis nodded enthusiastically; to be able to take a picture with her idol, it felt like she was dreaming!
"Can I? Thank you so much, just like everyone says, you’re so approachable!"
At this moment, Eleanor Hollis completely forgot about Hugo Quinn, having seen Julian Sterling, all other men were thrown out of her mind.
Julian Sterling chuckled, approachable? Is she talking about him?
He was just about to put his arm around Eleanor Hollis’s shoulder when he saw Hugo Quinn approaching from the corner of his eye, raising an eyebrow.
Eleanor Hollis also saw Hugo Quinn, and finally remembered she had come with him, feeling a bit awkward, she coughed slightly.
"Well... I really like Julian Sterling, he’s my idol, and I rarely get to see him, so I wanted a photo, so..."
Hugo Quinn’s face had turned as dark as the bottom of a pot, especially seeing this woman throwing herself at someone else, he felt utterly stifled.
"Hugo, do you two know each other?"
Julian Sterling sensed things were amiss and slowly released his hand.
Hugo Quinn’s face wore a strained smile as he pulled Eleanor Hollis over.
"Julian, this is Eleanor Hollis."
Eleanor Hollis was puzzled, hearing them call each other so intimately, they seemed to have a good relationship.
A look of surprise flashed in Julian Sterling’s eyes, this was the woman who had Hugo Quinn head over heels? He had never met her before, always imagined she must be a celestial beauty, but didn’t expect her to be such a delicate and pretty lady next door.
"Eleanor, this is Julian Sterling."
Hugo Quinn resisted the urge to strangle her, offering a simple introduction.
Eleanor Hollis felt embarrassed, now she was so embarrassed she wished she could find a hole to crawl into. Turns out Julian Sterling was the friend Hugo intended to introduce her to tonight.
But just now she had been so starry-eyed and clingy to him for so long, now it was over, her first impression points were probably plummeting.
She couldn’t pretend to be ladylike, she had no choice but to muster her courage and greet him.
Julian Sterling’s lips curled up, his gaze swept up and down Eleanor Hollis, just as he was about to extend his hand, Hugo Quinn intercepted.
Hugo Quinn naturally withdrew Eleanor Hollis’s hand and addressed him just as naturally.
"Everyone’s here, let’s go inside."
Julian Sterling raised an eyebrow, not feeling awkward, taking his hand back. It was the first time he saw this man display such protective behavior.
Eleanor Hollis followed beside Hugo Quinn, feeling a chill on the back of her neck, was this man angry?
She looked up at him, but Hugo Quinn’s expression was no different from usual.
Opening the door to the room, a group of men appeared inside, but Eleanor Hollis didn’t recognize any of them except for Julian Sterling.
"Someone finally decided to join us."
Jude Shaw spoke first, his gaze pausing on Eleanor Hollis. He had heard about the recent events between Claire Shaw and Hugo Quinn.
Eleanor Hollis took a step back under his gaze, feeling slightly uncomfortable.
Jude Shaw smiled, his sister was too imposing and manipulative, compared to someone like Eleanor Hollis, men indeed favored the latter.
"Come on, let’s sit down."
Hugo Quinn held Eleanor Hollis’s hand firmly in his palm, leaving the group of men stunned.
Previously, when Hugo Quinn married Grace Lynch, they had always urged him to bring her out, but in all those years of marriage, Hugo Quinn never once brought her out.
Not long after his divorce from Grace Lynch, he had actually brought a woman out personally, and it was Eleanor Hollis, who had been married once.
They couldn’t figure out what it was about Eleanor Hollis that was so attractive.
But since Hugo Quinn liked her, they couldn’t say much else.
"Has my sister been bothering you these days?"
Jude Shaw held a glass of wine, seeing Hugo Quinn’s attitude toward Eleanor Hollis, he knew there was no chance with Claire Shaw.

Hugo Quinn placed a bottle of juice in front of Eleanor Hollis, instructing her not to drink alcohol.
"My grandfather also hopes for you two to be together, don’t know what he said to Elder Quinn, but both of them seemed very happy."
He wasn’t saying this to rain on Hugo Quinn’s parade, just hoping the man would prepare in advance, to avoid being blindsided by the two elders.
"I’ve made it very clear to Claire Shaw."
Hugo Quinn frowned, Claire Shaw was known for her arrogance, he had spoken so bluntly, hopefully, she wouldn’t still cling to him ignorantly.
"That’s because you don’t know her well, she liked you before, but since you married Grace Lynch, she couldn’t say anything. Now that you’re finally divorced, she’s returned from abroad, and her target this time is you."
