Chapter 38
Adam’s words had frightened Emma quite badly. The entire Internet knew just how popular he was at the current inoment. If a fan discovered his whereabouts and casually announced the information within the group, the information would attract many people within the same community. By that time, they would all gather around the building where she lived…
Just imagining the scene pushed her to the brink of an emotional breakdown. She rushed over to the window and carefully pulled open the curtains to reveal a crack. Sure enough, she saw a gathering of young girls downstairs.
Feeling a terrible headache coming on, she quickly closed the curtains and turned to question him. “What do we do now?”
Adam seemed extremely calm in contrast to Emma’s impending emotional breakdown. He plopped his tall figure down on her couch and gave her a handsome smile. “In that case, I’m not leaving.”
She was so anxious that she began pulling at her hair. “How can a lone man and woman share a room?! That’s outrageous!”
While she could accept him coming to visit her, it would be inappropriate for him to stay overnight. Not to mention, he was a popular idol. If any of his fans discovered her through some obscure clue, she would surely die a miserable death.
He comforted her. “There are so many residents in this building. I’m sure nobody will know that I am here with you.”
Even so, she found the situation unacceptable and urged him, “Hurry up and contact your company. Ask your manager to figure out a way to make them leave, then you should hurry up and leave too.”
Hugging one of the pillows on her couch, Adam looked at Emma with a pitiful expression. “Emma, I’m tired and sleepy from rushing all the way back from afar. Can you bear to drive me away?”
She sighed and looked at him seriously. “You must leave. Otherwise, your reputation will be ruined if something were to happen.”
If he were involved with a woman who was six years his senior and a divorcee at that, his reputation would surely be ruined.
