    As soon as she hung up the phone, Celeste exined to Liam immediately, "Maria will be here


    soon. She just needs a few more minutes."

    Liam raised his hand and took a look at his watch. This was the first time he had to wait for


    someone.


    Celeste frowned slightly when she saw him looking at his watch. He didn''t say anything but she felt


    uneasy.


    "It won''t be long, just five minutes," Celeste added on.


    Liam nodded, "Okay. It''s not that I don''t want to wait for her. It''s just that I''m an idol. Everyone


    knows that I came to Ennd to study. Reporters may show up at any time. So I don''t like to show


    myself in public because it''s possible for me to be photographed at anytime."


    Celeste was slightly surprised. She hadn''t thought about this concern.


    She whispered, "It''s not that dramatic, is it? I don''t think there are any reporters here." "You''re


    wrong," Liam smiled and looked behind


    Celeste.


    At that moment, two or three reporters were taking photos of him.


    Speak of the devil.


    Celeste looked back subconsciously but was quickly stopped by Liam. He said, "Don''t look back,


    they might snap photos of you."


    Celeste froze immediately.


    The next second, Liam stood in front of Celeste and put his hand on her delicate shoulder.


    Celeste froze, and a strange scent crept into her nose. It was Liam''s scent, and it was fresh and


    elegant.


    He put a little strength in his arms and wrapped them around her shoulders.


    Celeste struggled subconsciously, trying to get rid of Liam''s hand.


    "Don''t move," He reprimanded in a low voice, "Follow me."


    Celeste took a nce at him. She found that Liam''s gaze had deepened. As it looked back, his


    gaze sharpened.


    Before Celeste coulde to her senses, Liam had already put his arm around her shoulders and


    was walking towards the building.


    His steps were very fast as he strode forward with


    Celeste. Behind him, three reporters moved quickly to catch up with him.


    Being held in his arms, Celeste felt very awkward. She didn''t like being so close to a stranger.


    However, Liam''s grip was firm.


    "Don''t move, and don''t run around. Otherwise, if you are photographed, you may be the target


    of my fans. When that happens, I will disappoint Ms. White," Liam''s deep voice sounded firm.


    Celeste was stunned by his words. Previously, she had been photographed with Cindy and had


    gotten a lot of hate from many fans. If she was photographed with Liam this time, she would be


    screwed.


    It was likely that Liam''s fans would even tear her apart, limb by limb.


    She did not want that.


    "Let''s hide in this building first," Celeste said in a hurry.


    They didn''t stop but instead, rushed to a nearby building in a hurry.


    As soon as they entered, Celeste said immediately to him, "Turn left. Let''s go."


    Liam let go of Celeste''s shoulder. He then grabbed her by the wrist and ran towards the left.


    "Are there any ssrooms here for us to hide in?"


    Liam asked.


    "There isn''t. Every ssroom is usually upied ording to the ss timetable. We can go up to


    the second floor from the stairs here. There''s a restroom to hide in," Celeste suggested quickly.


    "A restroom?" Liam raised an eyebrow at him.


    Was he going to hide in a random restroom with Celeste?


    In the blink of an eye, they reached the door of the women''s restroom. If someone found out that


    Liam was forced to hide in a restroom to avoid reporters, he would be very embarrassed.


    However, if he didn''t hide, Celeste might be photographed by the reporters.


    It would not be a big deal in the first ce. However, because Celeste was with him, they would be


    greatly criticized.


    He couldn''t let Cindy down.


    Whilst Liam was still hesitating, Celeste grabbed him and dragged him into thedies'' restroom.


    "Don''t just stand there, hurry up."


    Fortunately, the women''s restroom had pretty impressive privacy. Each restroom stall was designed


    to be an individual cubicle. As soon as they entered, Celeste closed the door and locked The space


    inside the stall was already very small to begin with. When the two of them stood inside, it felt


    crowded in an instant.


    Celeste leaned back a little bit and distanced herself so that the two of them would not feel so


    embarrassed.


    Liam stood by the door and took out his phone to call his driver, "I''m being chased by the paparazzi.


    Find a way to chase them away. I''m on the second floor."


    No one knew how his driver had responded, but Liam replied, "Do it as soon as possible."


    Hanging up the phone, he put the phone into his pocket and looked calm.


    Celeste looked at him and noticed hisposure. She thought to herself that he probably had been


    dealing with this kind of thing for a long time, so he was used to it.


    "Do you want me to go out and have a look?" Celeste suggested softly.


    Unexpectedly, Liamughed exasperatedly.


    Celeste was stunned and asked, "What are youughing at?"


    "When you were with me just now, they have already taken photos of you. It''s useless unless you


    change your clothes," Liam grunted, "The paparazzi have a keen sense. If you change your clothes,


    you might still be targeted as long as your figure is almost the same. If you can''t defend yourself


    properly, you might be my rumored girlfriend."


    "Huh?" Celeste narrowed her eyes and shook her head subconsciously.


    Liam frowned. What kind of expression was on her face? Was it that scary for her to be his


    rumored girlfriend?


    There was a look of disgust on her face, as if she wanted to run away.


    After shaking her head, Celeste said immediately, "Is your driver so influential that he can get you


    out of here so easily?"


    "Let''s see how lucky we are," Liam sighed faintly, but he didn''t seem to be embarrassed because of


    this scene.


    Just as Celeste was about to speak, they heard hurried footstepsing from the outside.


    There seemed to be several people.


    The next second, she heard a male voice saying something in English.


    "It should be here. The only ce where they can hide on the second floor is the toilet. I think they


    are here." "Then let''s just wait here. I don''t believe they won''te out."


    "That girl seems to be Liam''s girlfriend. I was wondering why he came to London to study. Turns out


    that he has a beautiful lover apanying him."


    "Conduct a background check on the girl. This is definitely a piece of big news."


    "Alright."


    The conversation outside continued.


    Inside the restroom stall, Liam''s long brows were tightly locked. He lowered his voice and said,


    "Silence your phone."


    Celeste was stunned and turned off her ringtone subconsciously. If her phone rang at that moment


    but no one stood up to pick up the call, the press outside would definitely grow suspicious.


    On one hand, she admired Liam''s calmness. On the other hand, she quickly ced her phone on


    silent mode.


    Liam''s phone had already been mute for quite some time. He stood behind the door with his phone


    in hand, looking a little frustrated.


    Outside, the reporters were still murmuring.


    Just then, the screen of Celeste''s mobile phone shed. It was a call from Maria.


    Celeste heard the muttering outside and did not dare to answer the phone. She could only hang up


    the call and send a message to Maria.


    "Maria! Liam and I are trapped in the woman''s restroom on the second floor. There are several


    reporters at our door. Find a way to save us. Remember not to expose Liam."
