One passer-by spoke up.

“Sir, we would like Sarah's autograph."

Ariana quickly pulled down her mask and stepped forward.

"I apologize, but Sarah is not feeling well at the moment. If you'd like, you can provide us with your name, address, and contact information, and we will send you a personalized autograph from Sarah."

Recognizing Ariana as Sarah's agent, the onlookers eagerly offered their contact information.

Taking advantage of the situation, Ariana assumed a domineering tone and instructed, "Aziel, help Sarah to the car."

Aziel nodded, swiftly guiding Sarah away from the scene.

It's a blessing that it's the cover of night and there weren't many people around. After Sarah was taken away, no more curious eyes gathered.

While she was jotting down the contact information of a few individuals, Ariana was simultaneously listening to their hushed conversations.

"I noticed that Sarah was standing there frozen and appearing rather distraught. Did something occur?"

“I'm not sure, but her agent and assistant were there, so it should be alright, shouldn't it?"

“It looked Like she drank too much."

Their murmurs were faint, but Ariana heard them.

Aware of the impossibility of concealing Sarah's drunken condition and wanting to avoid potential online rumors, Ariana chose to admit it with a grin.

"Sarah had a little celebration for her album wrap-up with her crew tonight and indulged in a few drinks. I'm aware of your affection for her, so I hope this stays between us.”

Witnessing Ariana's amiable manner and stunning appearance, the onlookers were more inclined to like her and nodded in agreement.

Ariana smiled as she took down their contact information and added, “Thanks for your assistance. As a token of appreciation, we'll be sending you a copy of Sarah's latest album.”

The mention of the album set off a wave of enthusiasm and the crowd was in ready agreement.

Having managed the situation, the gathering gradually thinned. Ariana tidied up and released a gentle sigh.

Aziel and Sarah were in a vehicle across the road, but instead of approaching them, Ariana reached for her phone to text Aziel.
