Wife by Day, Boss by Night

Chapter 211On a lazy Sunday afternoon at Heartland College, the old campus grounds wereusually deserted, with few scheduled classes and fewer reasons for anyone towander through.But this particular weekend was an exception because Lundy, a local heartthroband social media sensation, was on-site for a shoot, and despite advance noticeto the college authorities by his manager, Miller, the place was heaving with fans,their screams echoing in a continuous, tumultuous wave.Natalie and Rosie stepped out of their SUV and were instantly struck by themassive crowd.“Good grief,” Rosie murmured, her eyes wide with disbelief.Natalie hadn't realized Lundy's popularity was this extreme. She did know hewas a top-tier celebrity back home, but at twenty-nine, his star power wasimpressive.“How are we supposed to get through this?” Natalie frowned, scanning thecrowd.Lundy had arrived earlier, and his fans had effectively created a human blockadeto the set.The SUV parked about a mile from the location, on a heritage—listed avenueclosed to vehicular traffic. It wasn’t an exaggeration to say they got stuck a mileout. The road was jam-packed with people as far as the eye could see.Natalie felt a headache coming on. Without any other options, she resorted tocalling the director for help.The shrill screams of the crazy crowd made it nearly impossible for Miller to hearwhat Natalie was saying on the phone.“What's up, Natalie? Is there a problem?” Miller shouted back.Lundy glanced over, noticing Miller struggling to hear over the noise. Millerwalked further into the set to continue the call, wishing he hadn't alerted thecollege beforehand. His courtesy had likely backfired, leaking Lundy's scheduleto the public.Lundy paused mid-autograph, concern flickering in his eyes. Borrowing amegaphone from security, he addressed his fans. “We've got cast memberstrying to get through. Please make some room and cooperate a little. We can'tdelay the shooting schedule.”“Sure thing, honey!”“Anything for you, sweetheart!”Natalie looked at the few male students screaming, “My man is the hottest!”feeling startled and out of place. Is this level of chaos just par for the course withyoung folks these days?Unfazed by then, Rosie remained silent.Due to Lundy's intervention, the fans conscientiously cleared a narrow path,allowing Natalie and the crew to walk through.Chapter 211Walking past, Natalie felt the weight of envious and resentful stares.

Did Lundy bring her onto theset?”“Is she being so diva-like on purpose to catch our guy’s attention?”After a few snippets of such talk,Natalie felt overwhelmed.
