Amid the airport hustle and bustle, Sarah started to feel the weight of all the eyes on her. She hastened her steps toward the underground parking area.

Her security crew eventually managed to shut the loudspeaker up.

As she sighed in relief and was about to hop into her car, Sarah's eyes caught a figure in the rearview mirror, shadowing her.

Sarah's eyebrows knitted together in an instant. Her first thought was paparazzi, and that lit a fire of annoyance inside her.

In recent years, the paparazzi had become increasingly nosy, always finding new angles to snoop into her life. They were pros at snapping pictures when she least expected it.

The last time around, they had caught Aziel holding Alina on camera.

They didn't know the full story but spun it into a headline that launched a sea of criticism.

News outlets had been filled with stories like "Young Boyfriend Morphs into Stepfather," or "Small Town Man Dates Celebrity," and “Famous Singer Dates Younger Man."

It didn't bother Aziel much, but it made Sarah's blood boil.

She had been bottling up her anger for a while. Now, they were following her to this place too?

With her annoyance reaching a boiling point, a tidal wave of anger swept over her. She lunged forward, grabbing the person hiding behind a pillar.

The person didn't put up a fight. Sarah recognized her instantly. It was the diehard fan with the loudspeaker.

She was using the cardboard cutout to shield her face, as if she were playing some kind of spy game.

At first, Sarah thought she was just a hyperactive fan and was gearing up to give her a piece of her mind. But then, she noticed a blue diamond bracelet on the fan's wrist.

Sarah's movements froze. Her eyes zeroed in on that all-too-familiar bracelet. She blinked, processing for a few seconds, and then blurted out in disbelief, "Ariana?"

As she said her name, Sarah couldn't help but snatch the cardboard cutout away from Ariana's face, revealing a broad smile.

“Surprise!”

As Sarah stepped closer, Ariana ditched the cardboard and Loudspeaker, opening her arms wide for a warm hug.

Sarah was at a loss for words, while Ariana spoke with a big smile,

"So, how's this for a surprise, superstar?"
