The mathematics teacher was annoyed, but she couldn’t do anything about it since she had made the promise.
As soon as the lesson ended, students began discussing current news in the entertainment industry—
“Did you know that Josh Batton’s movie will be coming out soon? I think it’s going to be out in a month during summer. I want to go watch it.”
“Me, too! I admire Josh.”
“He hasn’t aged a day. There isn’t a man more glorified than him in the entertainment industry. My parents are extremely against me chasing after celebrities, but they don’t mind if it’s Josh.”
“Do you guys have any way of meeting Josh in person? I want to meet him in person.”
“To be honest, meeting Josh in person is nearly impossible. Apart from appearing on film sets, Josh is nowhere to be seen.”
“If only I were part of his family. I’d be able to see my idol every day.”
Lynette Batton and Leon Batton exchanged glances with knowing looks.
They were part of that family, although they didn’t feel as intensely as the others because they saw their uncle every day.
They didn't behave like starstruck fans whenever they saw him because they got used to seeing his face since they were kids.
They didn't see him as a novelty or even as a celebrity.
“Our uncle sure is popular,” Lynette said as she turned around and whispered into her brother's ear.
Leon nodded.
He had to admit Josh was something.
Despite how many years had passed, his uncle held his own in the ever-changing, fast-paced entertainment industry.
Usually, a celebrity's popularity would decline after reaching a certain age, but that never happened to Josh.
