She did not bother to knock and simply barged in. There she saw a stack of a hundred books piled on the desk.

Sure enough, they were all Maria's books.

“Finally! You're here!"

When Curt saw Maria, he immediately took out his phone. Then he sent a voice message in the group chat of Mia's fans.

“Guys, I'm preparing a fantastic gift for you. I'm sure you will love

Maria was confused. What had Curt been doing?

Unlike other people his age who probably only enjoyed reading newspapers over tea, Curt was now happily and skillfully chatting online! What a hip old man!

“Wow!" Mr. Dog spoke in a gruff voice, making it sound like he was a very old man.

“Are you really going to send us gifts?"

"Thank you, Mr. Dog!"

"Mr. Dog, you're amazing! That's so cool."

What the hell was going on?

Maria glanced over at the top of the screen to see the name of the group chat. It turned out to be one of Mia fan clubs from Sheffield.

“Don't worry, Maria. I'll always be your strongest supporter. Some haters said some absolutely insane things about you, and I'm not gonna ‘let them go!"

Curt said loudly, in an emphatic tone of voice.

Maria asked, "Are you seriously fighting with these online trolls?"

"I'd do absolutely anything for you!" Curt said, his pride for Maria clear in his voice.

“Fighting these Twitter trolls is just one of my daily amusements."

The president of the Writers’ Association in Sheffield spent his time personally fighting against online trolls! That was something that would definitely hit the headlines!
