Chapter 203

For some reason, I believed her when she said it. Don’t ask why, and it’s just that she has a certain sixth sense.”

“Oh man, Joseph could be in for a scandal..”

“Seventeen, still a minor. What could he possibly do?”

1 know. Joseph was just seventeen when he starred in “Breeze of Youth,” his first lead role, and it was that gig that really put him on the map.”

“Back then, I totally shipped him with Raines.”

“All that shipping will be the death of you.”

“No, it just means I have a well–rounded appetite for celebrity gossip.”

He hadn’t mingled much with people, so he wasn’t familiar with the kind of talk called ‘nice guy‘ spiel.

But even if he didn’t get it, plenty in the live stream’s chat did.
