Pampered by my three brothers: the return of the neglected heiress novel Chapter 474

Chapter 474: Stalked

"Here!" Slater happily put down the packed lunch in front of Penny, raising his brows as she looked up at him. He furrowed his brows, seeing that curious look on his face. "What’s that look, Penny?"

Her lips parted before she pressed it closed and smiled. "Nothing," she said.

"Okay." He nodded. "Now, you eat!"

Having said that, Slater walked over to his seat and immediately grew comfortable in it. He picked up his phone, but before getting into it, he cast her a smile again.

Penny simply returned it with a short smile, looking away from him. Slater already opened the packed lunch for her, and all she had to do was eat. To stop him from nagging her, Penny took a bite. However, her focus remained on her phone.

Slater would usually send her messages about anything. Pictures of himself and anything else were always in the mix. There was nothing wrong with the messages Slater sent her, but the photos...

Penny went to the media files just to see all the photos Slater sent him. She chose the latest photo her third brother sent. It was a picture of the coffee he was having that morning. He was holding it with the van’s window a part of the background.

What caught Penny’s attention wasn’t the entire picture, but rather the silhouette of a person that was reflecting in the window. Penny swiped to the next picture: it was Slater’s selfie. And then, on the next one. She quietly checked each photo, and her expression darkened.

’This person...’ her thoughts trailed off, going back to the photos she had already checked. ’... he’s getting closer with every photo.’

As a celebrity, having stalkers and paparazzi following them around was normal. With Slater’s popularity, it shouldn’t be a surprise many people wanted to get close to him. He might be gullible, but this person Slater was accidentally taking in his photos was getting closer to him.

"Third Brother, that guy in the front is your bodyguard?" she asked out of pure curiosity, watching him peel his eyes off his phone.

"Mhm."

"Just one?"

Slater nodded. "If I need more, James would’ve sent more. But my schedule for today is mostly photoshoots. So, I asked him to send the security to the mall since that’s where I would need them."

"He only sends you security when you’re going to public?"

"Of course!" Slater nodded. "I don’t want to be watched 24/7. That would be too annoying. I’m a free spirit, and as much as possible, I want to keep it that way. It’s impossible with my popularity, so I’m proud of it. Haha!"

Penny squinted, studying the beaming look on his face. ’This guy.’ She mentally clicked her tongue, forcing herself to take a bite as she snapped her eyes at the phone again.

’I should’ve considered his security as well,’ she thought, sighing to herself.

’I didn’t think of the level of popularity Slater has,’ she thought, eyes on the photos again. ’This person could be just a crazy fan who wants to get closed, but he’s getting too closed.’
