Chapter 980: Chapter 987

With her annoyance reaching a boiling point, a tidal wave of anger swept over her.

She lunged forward, grabbing the person hiding behind a pillar.

The person didn’t put up a fight.

Sarah recognized her instantly.

It was the diehard fan with the loudspeaker.

She was using the cardboard cutout to shield her face, as if she were playing some kind of spy game.

At first, Sarah thought she was just a hyperactive fan and was gearing up to give her a piece of her mind.

But then, she noticed a blue diamond bracelet on the fan’s wrist.

Sarah’s movements froze.

Her eyes zeroed in on that all-too-familiar bracelet.

She blinked, processing for a few seconds, and then blurted out in disbelief, “Ariana?”

As she said her name, Sarah couldn’t help but snatch the cardboard cutout away from Ariana’s face, revealing a broad smile.

“Surprise!”

As Sarah stepped closer, Ariana ditched the cardboard and Loudspeaker, opening her arms wide for a warm hug.

Sarah was at a loss for words, while Ariana spoke with a big smile,

“So, how’s this for a surprise, superstar?”

For Sarah, it was more than just surprising.

Realizing who was behind this spectacle, she pulled Ariana into a heartfelt hug.

A grin stretched across her face, though she had to make a small jab.

“You had me fooled there.

I was about to have my security escort you out.

”

Ariana let out a laugh.

“Even if you had me kicked out, I would’ve found a way back to you.

”

Sarah shot her a playful look and gave Ariana’s cheek a pinch.

“You set me up, didn’t you? Made me think you’d be gone for a long time.

”

Ariana’s grin turned sly.

“So, what do you think? Was it a good act of fandom or what?”

“It was amazing,” Sarah shot back, her voice tinged with excitement.

“But if I’d caught on a few seconds later, my way of showing love might have involved some fisticuffs.

”

“Would you really have the heart to hit this delicate face?” Ariana pouted, leaning into Sarah as though she were made of glass.

“No way could I.

” Sarah chuckled, playfully pushing Ariana.

“Enough messing around.

Let’s go.

”

And so, the two made their way to Sarah’s car.
