CHAPTER 23 SUPERSTAR

Book:My Sassy Boss Published:2024-5-1

Sunny’s POV
“KIDNAPPER HERE!!!!” I yelled so loud as soon as the man took his hand off my mouth.
He immediately freaked out and cornered me again against the wall. “D-Don’t yell please… I’m not a kidnapper, okay? I’m not a bad guy, I won’t hurt you just don’t shout.”
“What the hell are you saying? You’re not a bad guy?! Then why did you—
“I’m Jared Knight.” He said as he removed his face mask.
A man with beautiful hazel brown eyes, a pointed nose, thin pinkish lips, and a prominent jaw that is sharper than a knife. He has a small mole under his right eye and another one under his lips. God, he’s handsome as hell!
“Wait, Jared Knight? You mean that famous superstar?!”
He nodded as he scratched the back of his head, “Yes, I am.”
“Then why are you here? Are you shooting or something?”
“No, I was just walking around Then some people recognized me and started chasing after me.” He sighed, “I wonder when can I ever have a peaceful walk inside the supermarket.”
“Do you really think you could disguise just like that? You’re just wearing a cap and a mask!”
He furrowed his brows and looked at me. “Isn’t this enough?”
“God, you don’t really know how to disguise, do you? You should have worn eyeglasses, a wig, and take off that cap. With you wearing a cap and a mask would only make you look even more suspicious.”
“D-Do you really think that would work?” he asked.
I looked at him with my arms crossed, “Of course! That’s how my characters do whenever they want to disguise!”
“So… can you uh…do me a favor?”
“What?”
He gave me a smile, a smile that any girl couldn’t resist. And next thing I know, I was already outside a fitting room waiting for him to finish dressing up. “Are you done?” I asked.
“Yes!” he replied.
I heaved a sigh of relief upon hearing that after a million years. “Then why don’t you go out already?!”
“W-Wait, i-It’s embarrassing…”
“Come on, just go out now. My mom’s going to kill me for taking this long just to buy meat.”
The door of the fitting room slowly opened, I was just staring at it, waiting for him to come out. The moment that I saw him, I burst into a laughter. “Y-You look like a nerd!! Hahaha!”
He was wearing a red-colored wig and thick round eyeglasses. He doesn’t look like a superstar anymore, but I admit, he’s still handsome with that ugly wig and glasses. What an unfair world.
“Well, you too, you look like a nerd too.” He pouted.
I rolled my eyes, “Whatever, let’s go now and buy some meat. You still have to pay for those meat and ingredients.”
“Alright, alright.”
While we were walking, so many people are still looking at us. “Do you think they can still recognize me?” he whispered.
“I don’t think so.”
‘Look at that man with his girlfriend.’
‘Both nerds.’
‘They look like cheap beggar couple hahaha!’
My eyes widened upon hearing what the women with such big boobs have said and so I quickly walked towards them.
“H-Hey w-what are you going to do?” Jared tried to stop me but I just didn’t mind him.
The women looked at me as soon as I got to stand in front of them. “Who do you think are you talking about? Why are you looking at us, huh?”
“Excuse me?” the woman with a purple hair who looked like a walking cotton candy said.
“Are you jealous because we’re nerds? Well, for your information, we may look like this but at least we have brains!” I widened my eyes at them and they were obviously startled. “What’s the square root of 1085?!”
They looked at each other and shrugged, “I-I don’t know…”
“See? You don’t know that! Stop laughing at people just because they look awful, you can’t even solve a basic math, oh my gosh. Okay, bye!” I said then I turned around and continue walking away, leaving the women stood their while their mouths agape.
“You looked cool in there, huh? That was so brave of you!” Jared said when we finally walked past the women.
I flipped my hair fictitiously as if I have a very beautiful and long hair. “Well, that’s how you should deal with people like them.”
“Right, hahaha! I knew it, you are really smart. You won’t wear such thick eyeglasses if you’re not a nerd anywhere. So, what’s the square root of 1085?”
I looked at him, “I don’t know. That’s why I asked them, because I don’t know the answer.”

“By the way, you just said a while ago about your characters?”
“Yes, I am a writer.” I said while trying to choose the best meat for the food that I’ll be cooking. We had to search the entire supermarket just to be able to find what I have bought earlier.
His eyes widened when he heard what I just said, “You’re a writer? That’s cool!”
“You think that’s cool?”
“Of course, you get to sit in front of your computer, and type everything that comes into your mind.”
“Well, I guess being a superstar is even cooler. You get to change your character every single time, I mean, you get to experience someone’s life in different movies.”
He nodded, “It’s cool not until you couldn’t have a peaceful and private life anymore”
“Oh well, that’s the bad side.”
As soon as I found what I’ve been looking for, I already decided to say goodbye to Jared. “Thank you for treating me an ice cream.”
“And thank you for helping me hide from my fans.”
“That’s not an issue. So, bye?”
He nodded, “Bye.”
