The first stop of the day was the Orchidia Philippines headquarters. It was located in a newly developed high-end mixed used estate and business district. Everything in the place looked new, clean, modern, and luxurious. There were also notably quite a lot of foreigners walking around by the sidewalks.
There was already a huge crowd waiting in front of the Orchidia Philippines building. The company's privately hired security coordinated with the local police to control the crowd and ensure that today's special guest remained safe at all times.
By this time, the sun had already risen in the sky. The heat was also starting to soar.
Nevertheless, the people waiting refused to leave. They were all determined to meet the special guest. Many of them had travelled from far away just to ensure that they didn't miss today's event. If not for the district's strict rules of no loitering, all of them would have camped the night before.
An Orchidia Philippines representative came out and announced to everyone present that the person they had been waiting for was coming in about ten minutes.
Everyone grew excited.
Some smoothed out their suits. Many double-checked their papers and pens and phones to ensure that everything was in good working order when asking for autographs and photos.
The leader and organizer spoke through a mega-phone, instructing everyone to be orderly.
Then they unfurled a huge tarpaulin poster showing a beautiful photo of Iris Long with her ethereal smile. Written were the words "Welcome to the Philippines, Boss Iris".
Smaller posters, most were handmade and others digitally printed, also appeared and raised high.
Within this group of fans, reporters with their cameramen sent by the major news stations were also waiting for the special guest's arrival.
Finally, everyone saw a convoy heading towards them. Police officers in motorcycles escorted a group of vehicles.
"They're here!" the representative from Orchidia Philippines said.
Screams erupted.
The posters were raised high.
The private security and police became a little nervous. Fortunately, the fans were quite well-behaved despite all the screaming. Their orderliness surprised the private security, police, and curious bystanders.
Usually, when fans gathered together to wait for their favourite celebrities, they tended to be unruly. The worst case would be a deadly stampede.
The vehicles stopped in front of the company driveway, and the executives also came down, demonstrating the special guest's importance.
A security officer stepped forward and opened the first vehicle.
Screams erupted as everyone anticipated who might be the first to come out.
It was a woman.
"Boss Iris!!!"
"Iris Long, I love you!!!"
Unfortunately, it wasn't her yet.
Linda Chua came out of the vehicles and felt helpless upon seeing the collective disappointment of everyone upon seeing her. However, she quickly recovered. She wasn't the main star anyway.
After she disembarked, a male figure came out behind her.
Some fans craned their necks to look at him. "Who's that?"
"OMG! Is that Dom?"
"Yes, it is! Our fellow countryman, the pride of the Philippines—Dominic Chua!!!"
"Welcome back home, Dom!!!"
"Dom, the Beauty King!!!"
Linda felt shocked by the deafening screams. She turned around to look at her little brother. Her ears hadn't heard it wrong, right? Everyone seemed to be screaming for her brother!
Dom grinned and waved at everyone.
"Kyaaaaaaaah! Dom, so handsome and beautiful!"
Linda stared at the unbelievable scene for a while before catching herself. She regained her composure and pasted a professional smile on her face. Inside, however, she was amazed at her brother's popularity.
Although she knew that it was thanks to Iris Long's fame, Linda still felt awed at the crowd's reaction. This was her brother!
A sense of pride welled inside her. If not for wanting to be professional, she would have already whipped out her phone and recorded the scene so that she could upload it to their family group chat. She bet that their parents and other sisters would be as amazed as her.
To his credit, Dom didn't hog the spotlight. Only a few seconds passed before he walked to the next vehicle.
Linda followed closely behind.
He personally opened the door and long, male legs stepped on the ground. Out came a handsome man with a cold and indifferent aura.
"You're so handsome, Liam!!!" fɾeewebnoveℓ.co๓
