Jim turned to give her a comforting smile, “They won’t hurt me, I’m Dean’s brother after all.” He let go of
Sage’s hand and quickly closed the car door.
As he got out of the car, he got hit with rotten eggs and tomatoes. The cold and slimy concoction ran
down from his head and down to his cheeks and neck.
He was unfazed though, and he yelled, “Everyone, I’m Dean’s brother, listen to me —” The crowd went
a little quieter as they heard he was Dean’s brother.
Jim said loud and clear, “I understand you’re worried about my brother, but please think logically and
don’t make assumptions before things are clear, and please don’t break the law! You’re only affecting
my brother and putting pressure on him. You have to put trust in Miss Norah, she won’t treat my brother
poorly.”
Despite his speech, the agitated fans did not buy what he said. “Are you Dean’s brother? Why are you
helping that capitalist evil woman? Did she pay you to say so? Go to hell! Dean doesn’t need a brother
like you. You don’t deserve him!”
A rotten egg flew over in Jim’s direction.
“Yeah! How dare you educate us! Don’t think we won’t beat you up just because you’re good looking.
Old woman, come out of the car at once!”
As a tomato almost hit Jim’s face, it was caught by a single hand just in time. And it threw the tomato
back. “Aaahhh!” Someone in the crowd yelled in pain, the tomato hit the woman who threw it in the first
place.
A cold voice transmitted from the back, “Who’s older, me or you?”
The entire crowd stopped whatever they were doing and simultaneously looked over at the woman
beside Jim. They had to widen their eyes and look carefully.
The young woman wore a grey coat with a matching pleated skirt under the sunlight. She looked fresh,
professional, and yet elegant and beautiful at the same time. Her gorgeous face and every strand of
hair glowed.
The protestors kept quiet once again. They whispered, “This is Dean’s new boss? She’s so young, She
can’t be much older than Dean…”
Their voice grew louder and louder. Sage could not take it anymore and she fumed as she saw
Jim covered in egg and tomato liquid. Her anger grew exponentially.
Sage took out her phone and recorded everyone’s faces. The protestors blocked her screen,” What are
you trying to do?”
Sage said unfazed, “You hit my people, vandalized my car, and you dare ask what I’m about to do? I’m
reporting to the cops of course. Do you guys know you broke the law? Do you know
how long you’d be in jail for disrupting the social order and illicit gatherings? Do you know what will
happen to Dean’s future because of your actions?
“I suspect you’re all his hates acting as his fans.” Dean’s fans were stunned, they said after a long
pause with their faces flushed, “You’re the fake fan! We love him, and we’re fighting for him against his
greedy boss!”
Once again, eggs and tomatoes were thrown in their direction. Hunter and the driver got out of the car
to protect Sage from getting thrown at. Sage’s face turned dark. Hunter opened the car door and
pushed Jim in, as he said to Sage, “Miss Sage, they’re out of control, get in now As Sage got into the
car, a pebble flew right towards her head, “Go to hell” Sage felt a strong body pressed against her
back. She heard a gruntle loud and clear.
