As such, Winnie was prepared to take a detour to avoid them.
It was not because she was afraid of them, but because she did not want to make a scene in public. Moreover, she didn’t want to frighten her grandma.
However, it was too late as those fans had already spotted her.
The girl who was the leader of the group gestured for the others to chase after Winnie.
When Jacinta saw that, she realized that something was amiss.
“Winnie, are those people coming after us? Are they Nate’s fans? They must have believed the fake news. Were they also the ones who slandered you previously?”
Winnie nodded and replied, “Yup. I’ve seen one of them before.”
Jacinta sighed. “If that’s the case, we should leave this place right away. Let’s try to avoid getting into a conflict with them. It’s all my fault. I should have just listened to you and gone to a more high-end restaurant. That way, we could have avoided these fans.”
“Granny, please don’t say that. This has nothing to do with you. It’s not too late for us to go to another restaurant now.”
“All right. Let’s walk faster then,” Jacinta replied before grabbing Winnie’s arm and starting to walk faster.
Winnie linked arms with her grandmother and said in a reassuring manner, “Sure, but there’s no need to walk that fast. I have my bodyguards with me today.”
Once the woman finished speaking, Mason, who was dressed in a full black suit, stepped forward and blocked the fans’ path.
As a highly skilled bodyguard, he was agile and fast, so it posed no difficulty for him to block them all on his own.
After being blocked, the fans were unable to advance. As such, they could only start throwing things at Winnie.
The objects thrown at Winnie included mineral water bottles, shoes, and even used sanitary pads. Given how well-prepared the fans were, it was evident that even if they did not bump into Winnie at the mall, they would probably have headed to her office to cause trouble.
Although Winnie was not hit by those things, she could not help but feel pity for these young, ignorant girls when she saw the mess on the floor.
Jacinta was shocked at well. “Are all young fans so shameless these days? It’s quite a destructive trend. Winnie, can we call the police on them?”
“Yup. Let’s leave it to the security guards to handle. I don’t want to waste time on these people.”
“All right. Let’s just hurry up and leave. We don’t know what else they are capable of.”
When the two women were on the escalator, Winnie’s phone suddenly rang.
Even though it was an unfamiliar number that was not saved in her contacts, Winnie knew that it was Nate.
After picking up the phone, without greeting the man, she said at once, “Just get straight to the point if you have something to say. If it’s still about apologizing to me, there’s really no need for that. However, you should really do something about your fans.”
“It’s not about that.” There was a sense of urgency in Nate’s voice. “I just wanted to ask if you’re currently on the third floor of Fiesta Mall?”
“Are you here as well?” Winnie immediately came to such a conclusion and looked toward the upper floors.
Indeed, she spotted a man on the fourth floor who was wearing a cap and mask and had most of his face covered.
She recognized that person to be Nate at once.
However, she only took one glance at the man before retracting her gaze and continuing to walk forward.
“Since you’ve already seen what happened earlier, please do something about your fans. As their idol, they would listen to anything you say. You have the responsibility to educate them properly.” The woman spoke into the phone in a frosty tone.
