Chapter 156: Chapter 156: A Fangirl
In Banyan City, there were only a few wealthy kids, and Daisy Ginger recognized the girl holding Ian Linton’s arm with just one glance as the most cherished youngest daughter of the Brooke family, Chloe Brooke.
Watching the girl gaze at Ian Linton with bright eyes, Daisy Ginger could tell—these two young people were probably in the throes of a passionate romance.
Following her gaze, Edward Stephens also saw the young couple stepping out of a car not far away. His expression unchanged, he calmly looked away, utterly uninterested, and took a menu from a waiter before leading Daisy inside. "What do you want to eat?"
Daisy Ginger nudged his waist and puckered her lips at him, gossiping, "Can I interview you about how you’re feeling right now?"
Edward Stephens rolled his eyes at her, "You’re nuts."
Daisy Ginger also found herself a bit silly. What did it matter that Ian Linton was dating someone else? He had already broken off his engagement with Emily Ginger, so it was only natural for him to find a new girlfriend. It wasn’t as if he had to ’mourn’ for Emily Ginger for three years, right? Relationships these days change so quickly anyway.
Yesterday it was a burning passion, today a new flame; perfectly normal.
"Hmm, pass the menu here so I can take a look." Daisy started contemplating what to eat tonight as well.
They walked a few more steps inside, though Daisy was taking her time while looking down at the menu.
Just as she was deciding on dishes with Edward Stephens, a sudden "Ah!" from behind—a girl’s shriek—caught her attention. Daisy felt a small whirlwind sweep behind her. Curiosity piqued, she turned and saw that girl Ian had been with standing not far away, face flushed with excitement. Upon meeting Daisy’s gaze, the girl’s small ears turned bright red.
"You..." Daisy frowned slightly, "Miss Brooke, do you need something?"
Chloe Brooke exclaimed with excitement, "Director Ginger, you know me?"
Daisy Ginger pondered for a moment, "I work with your dad."
"Oh..." Chloe’s gaze dimmed briefly, then, as if struck by another thought, she hastily pulled a notebook from her bag, offering it to Daisy gingerly and shyly, "Director Ginger, I’m a fan. Can you, can you give me an autograph?"
"..." Daisy Ginger was left somewhat speechless.
"I’ve admired you since I was a kid. You are my idol! Finally seeing you in person today, you’re even more beautiful than I imagined!"
Daisy Ginger: "..."
Admired since she was a kid... Daisy wasn’t that much older, right...
While at school, Daisy had encountered fervent junior fans, but since taking over the company, she hadn’t faced such situations in a long time and was momentarily caught off guard.
She nodded nonchalantly, "Do you have a pen?"
"Oh right, let me find one!" After rummaging through her bag, Chloe couldn’t find a pen. Instead, she took out an Armani lipstick, handed it to Daisy while blushing, and softly asked, "Is it okay to use lipstick?"
Daisy didn’t mind, taking the seemingly brand-new lipstick, she flamboyantly signed her English name across Chloe’s notebook.
"All done." She handed back the notebook and lipstick, glanced briefly at Ian Linton who hadn’t come over, then turned her gaze back to the girl in front of her—who seemed a bit pampered and headstrong, yet essentially innocent—and gently said, "Go have dinner, and get home early."
