Chapter 211
Chapter 211
On a lazy Sunday afternoon at Heartland College, the old campus grounds were
usually deserted, with few scheduled classes and fewer reasons for anyone to
wander through.
But this particular weekend was an exception because Lundy, a local heartthrob
and social media sensation, was on-site for a shoot, and despite advance notice
to the college authorities by his manager, Miller, the place was heaving with fans,
their screams echoing in a continuous, tumultuous wave.
Natalie and Rosie stepped out of their SUV and were instantly struck by the
massive crowd.
“Good grief,” Rosie murmured, her eyes wide with disbelief.
Natalie hadn't realized Lundy's popularity was this extreme. She did know he
was a top-tier celebrity back home, but at twenty-nine, his star power was
impressive.
“How are we supposed to get through this?” Natalie frowned, scanning the
crowd.
Lundy had arrived earlier, and his fans had effectively created a human blockade
to the set.
The SUV parked about a mile from the location, on a heritage—listed avenue
closed to vehicular traffic. It wasn’t an exaggeration to say they got stuck a mile
out. The road was jam-packed with people as far as the eye could see.
Natalie felt a headache coming on. Without any other options, she resorted to
calling the director for help.
The shrill screams of the crazy crowd made it nearly impossible for Miller to hear
what Natalie was saying on the phone.
“What's up, Natalie? Is there a problem?” Miller shouted back.
Lundy glanced over, noticing Miller struggling to hear over the noise. Miller
walked further into the set to continue the call, wishing he hadn't alerted the
college beforehand. His courtesy had likely backfired, leaking Lundy's schedule
to the public.
Lundy paused mid-autograph, concern flickering in his eyes. Borrowing a
megaphone from security, he addressed his fans. “We've got cast members
trying to get through. Please make some room and cooperate a little. We can't
delay the shooting schedule.”
“Sure thing, honey!”
“Anything for you, sweetheart!”
Natalie looked at the few male students screaming, “My man is the hottest!”
feeling startled and out of place. Is this level of chaos just par for the course with
young folks these days?
Unfazed by then, Rosie remained silent.
Due to Lundy's intervention, the fans conscientiously cleared a narrow path,
allowing Natalie and the crew to walk through.
Chapter 211
Walking past, Natalie felt the weight of envious and resentful stares. The
pressure was undeniable.
She even overheard some fans whisper, “Is Lundy that concerned about this
actress?”
“Who is she? I've never seen her around before. Did Lundy bring her onto the
set?”
“Is she being so diva-like on purpose to catch our guy’s attention?”
