Back in Love novel Chapter 2

Two years later, at an airport,

the man in a black suit briskly walked out of exit T4. He had a clear face and a sharp nose. A single smile threading across his lips was enough to turn the world upside down.

"Mr. Jacob, you're finally back!"

Barry Lu took his luggage and gazed at him happily.

He nodded stiffly.

"There will be a charity banquet at nine later in the evening. I've already prepared for everything. Will your luggage be sent to the Gu Family or your villa, Mr. Jacob?"

He frowned. "The villa."

"You got it, sir."

Ever since Jacob moved out of the Gu Family two years ago, he had never gone back. However, this time was different.

Someone was coming back.

"When will my grandma arrive?" Jacob squinted his eyes as the sunlight glared through the high windows.

"In one week, sir. She'll stay in Switzerland for a week before returning from Australia."

'I can't hide it anymore,' Jacob thought bitterly, shaking his head.

"Go back to the company first before attending the charity banquet."

"Yes, sir."

Just as Jacob and Barry Lu walked out of the airport gates to get onto their car, a cheer erupted from the crowd behind them. The entire airport was thrown into chaos as people rushed towards one of the opening gates. Chatter exploded from the crowd.

"Wow! Lola's so amazing!" one screamed. "I love you, Lola!"

"We wish you more successes!"

"We will love you forever!"

Hearing Lola's name, Jacob couldn't help but let his thoughts drift to one person. He shook his head, coughing. "What's happening?" he demanded.

Barry Lu craned his head. "You don't know? She's a famous star, and she's finally coming back to her hometown. It's the first time since she's been back from abroad, and the entire airport's paralyzed."

Jacob pursed his lips. "Who the hell are you talking about?"

"Lola Ming! The superstar. She made a name for herself when she went abroad. In fact, I've heard she won numerous awards in the first year alone. When she was under twenty years old, her records had topped the charts worldwide. She surprises her fans more and more each year. I don't know which company would sign her in but..."

Knowing where Barry Lu was getting at, Jacob sneered. "Don't even think about signing her. The woman would likely lose our investment in a dot."

Having been in the entertainment business for years, Barry Lu knew a thing or two on what people liked. He was actually planning on signing a contract with her, but after knowing Jacob's thoughts about the proposal, he shrugged.

"It's your call, sir."

Without saying any more, Jacob got into the car.

At the same time, Lola, who was surrounded by the crowd, looked up to see a familiar figure passing by. Her eyes widened momentarily. It was him!

She took a deep breath, trying to calm herself.

It was fine. It wasn't as if he knew who she was.

Lola restrained herself and smiled brightly at the crowd. Her bright face was enough to cause a cheer from her fans.

Even if Jacob did recognize her, it wouldn't matter. They were over, and she didn't like him anymore.
