Crowd of fans.

Marcel had thought Purple Rose had a hard time with fans, but it was nothing compared to what he was witnessing in front of him. Those girls were screaming their hearts out, some with tears in their eyes, and others' faces were so red it looked like they would pass out from excitement anytime.

Marcel looked at Titus and Axel in accusation and the two of them only helplessly laughed. It's not like they called their fans to come over, it's just that the company kept fans involved like this by updating their daily schedules to the fan cafes so they normally knew where they were as long as they were working.

"Well, I'll see you guys around," Marcel said and for the first time, he missed his old hoodie, now he couldn't even hide his face since he was just wearing a large black t-shirt and a pair of distressed jeans.

It was simple wear, but after tucking it in on one side and the pairing he made with the shoes he was wearing, he ended up looking quite attractive. Of course, a lot of it could be attributed to his body proportions and face.

When he walked down the stairs, he expected to be ignored since he wasn't part of the group, but that was not the case. He was immediately recognised as the guy that had carried Sherry out of the company on the day she collapsed from exhaustion. How could people forget such a memorable face? Some fans even started taking pictures of him.

Julia could see all these things from the van and a small smile appeared on her face. It wasn't because she was enjoying Marcel's misery, but it was because of the crowd's reaction to him. He had a lot of potential. People talk about how important a person's character was important all the time, but in this industry, if you do not have a good-looking face, it sets you up for failure.

After watching for a bit, she started feeling annoyed because the crowd had stranded Marcel, and they were already behind schedule, so she opened the door of the van, drawing the attention of the crowd momentarily.

It was a good thing that Marcel was resourceful, as he used that distraction to his advantage as he slipped through the crowd.

The young girls were all silent when they saw Julia's glare. They were all wondering who that fierce woman was until Marcel appeared next to her.

"Thanks, Julia," Marcel said with a smile and turned to the crowd momentarily and winked at the girls before he quickly got in the van. Julia looked at the two boys who were also taking advantage of her distraction before snorting and climbing back into the van and shutting the door.

By the time the girls registered that Marcel was gone, the van that carried Titus and Axel was also leaving. They were at a loss, they had gotten distracted for a moment and ended up losing everyone.

"Hey! Is he part of the agency?" one of the girls asked loudly.

"Let me check the company's website," another one said but a group of them pulled out their phones to check.

"He joined as a model" one of the girls shouted.

"Model?" the girls who asked the other fans parroted before checking herself. The crowd gradually grew quiet as they went through his profile. The company hadn't done a shoot for the profile picture that Marcel would have, they had decided that the pictures that they received would suffice.

But even then the PR department had a hard time picking a picture that they should use so after voting they picked the profile picture and another five pictures that would be uploaded. It wasn't that they couldn't upload all of them but they thought it would be a bit overwhelming if they uploaded all of them.

"Aah, guys, I'm going first," one of the girls said and the others agreed with her as they all dispersed in different directions.

Meanwhile in the van Marcel was getting stared at by Julia to the point that he started feeling a bit uncomfortable.

"Is there something on my face?" Marcel asked Julia when he couldn't stay silent anymore.

"You can really work the crowd. Are you sure you weren't popular in school?" Julia asked as she looked at him her eyes filled with doubt.

"I was practically invisible," Marcel said with a chuckle. How would he not know if he was popular?

"Anyway, here are your social media details," Julia said as she sent them through a text.

"And here is a new phone. Your phone is a bit- Just use this one, it takes better pictures" Julia said as she handed him a dark blue glossy phone. Marcel received it and turned it in his hands before nodding.

"Thanks," Marcel said and quickly moved the sim card from his current phone to the new one. He was thinking that he would leave his phone for Liam after getting another sim card for it. Marcel was naturally going through the phone but in reality, he was receiving a class from Avian on how to sync his information. The drive went on like that until they reached the location for the shoot.

Marcel slipped the phone into his pocket and got off the van to go prepare for the shoot completely oblivious how news about him has already spread online.
