The waitress panicked upon seeing that, grabbing a napkin as she knelt on the ground, wiping Josh Batton’s pants frantically while she apologized. “I’m sorry! I’m sorry!”
Josh just smiled dismissively. “It’s fine.”
He had always been kind and polite to people around him, not caring much about what happened. All he needed was a new pair of pants.
Nearby, Henry Armstrong frowned in annoyance, glaring at the clumsy waitress. “What’s going on? Are you new to this job?”
She gasped, attempting to explain while continuing her wiping motion. “I was nervous because he’s my idol.”
Henry's facial expression relaxed into an amused grin. “I see. All right, I understand now.”
Josh immediately beamed when he heard that. “Would you like an autograph?”
“Yes, please.” Her eyes lit up as she spoke, quickly retrieving a small notepad and a pen from her pocket before handing them over to him.
He opened the notepad and promptly signed on an empty page before returning them to her.
She pocketed the items carefully, gazing at him in excitement. “You’re so nice. Thank you! I knew being your fan was the right decision.”
Her idol was as nice in real life as he seemed. He had a good personality with dashing good looks.
The waitress met many celebrities who weren’t who they seemed. Josh was the only person who was genuine on the inside and out.
“You’re welcome,” he replied calmly.
“Josh, your pants-what should I do?” she asked helplessly. She felt apologetic about what happened.
His pants must’ve cost a lot.
“It’s fine," he said, waving her off. "Get back to work. We don’t need your help here anymore.”
