Chapter 192
Agnes just waltzed out the backdoor with Justin
She casually grabbed a jacket and a hat from backstage for Justin to disguise himself.
When they slipped out the backdoor of the auditorium, nobody spotted them
Agnes finally realized the power of being a celebrity
Turns out, the crowd wasn’t just limited to the people inside the auditorium, there was a line stretching from the auditorium all the way to the school gate.
From the start to the end of the show, for one and a half hours, people were still pushing and shoving, trying to get into the auditorium
Agnes managed to drag Justin into an empty lab
When they finally stopped Agnes huffed and panted, “Why did you suddenly show up?”
Justin chuckled, “I came to see your performance. You’ve been ghosting me for a while.”
Ever since the movie shooting wrapped up, Agnes had rarely been in touch with Justin.
“How did you know I had a performance today?”
“I just got back from the film festival yesterday, Ivan invited me to dinner and he mentioned it casually, so I came over today. You could’ve asked me for props. I could’ve gotten you better ones.”
Agnes felt a wave of gratitude, so it was Ivan who had helped her out.
Agnes told Justin, “You really saved my bacon today, what do you want to eat, my treat.”
“I did you a huge favor and all you are offering is a meal?”
Agnes laughed and asked, “Then what do you want?”
Justin thought for a moment, “I haven’t decided yet, but you owe me one. You’ll have to pay it back when I need you”
“You really know how to bargain”
“Thanks for the compliment.” Justin said, slinging his arm over Agnes’s shoulder, “Let’s go grab a bite.”
After lunch, Justin took off.
As an international superstar, it was really something for him to squeeze in some time to show support.
When Agnes went back to East Hall, the crowd had already dispersed
But some of the main cast were still there.
Seeing Agnes return, Kerri rushed over and said, “Agnes, I can’t believe Justin came! We totally turned the tables on them. Did you know? All the audience at West Hall left In the end, Cecile tore her costume and smashed the props mid–performance. It was so satisfying”
Another actor chimed in, “You bet, she spent a fortune on souvenirs and now they’re piled up like a mountain backstage. No one wants them, she totally took a hit this time.”
“Agnes, you’re such a sneak.”
Speak of the devil, Cecile showed up.
Cecile’s furious voice echoed from the entrance
Agnes looked over to see Cecile storming up to her, pointing at her nose, “You’re so shady. You got Justin to cause trouble.”
Agnes replied. “Cecile, it’s a fair competition. The winner is determined by the number of audience members, there were no rules against using any means to attract the audience. You bought a bunch of souvenirs and heavily promoted them on the notice board. You even tried to steal audience members from East Hall. You even deliberately damaged our props and costumes. Compared to your methods, ours seem pretty fair.”
Kerri added. “Some people only allow themselves to do bad things but can’t stand others doing the same. After all the wrongs you’ve done, you still have the nerve to make a scene here. If the school had a Thickest Skin‘ award, you’d definitely win it.”
‘Kern, you’re gonna pay for this.” Cecile was thoroughly enraged.
