Chapter 617 Popular man (Part 1)


    The second the group had entered Slough, all of them started to look through the windows of the vehicle including the manager Elanor. It seemed like many of them had never been to a tier-3 Town before, but what they saw was beyond surprising for all of them.


    “There looks to be a lot of scaffolding and building work going on.” Rachel commented. “The streets are quite clean as well.”


    “I don’t see young teens roaming the streets either with weapons in their hands.” Spring commented as well.


    Gary thought it sounded like she was almost disappointed by this fact.


    Immediately, Elanor was disappointed as well. The roads were smooth and not covered in potholes. Plenty of the shops at the side could be seen open, rather than being boarded up with smashed windows.


    “This is only a part of Slough.” Elanor said. “I’m sure not the whole thing will look like this, for now why don’t we just stop off at the hotel as the camera crew gets ready and we can start our journey from there.”


    If the town was better than they expected then they would just have to roll with it, and Elanor would just try and get as many reactions from the stars and the public as possible. After all they had a whole week together of programming, so if this wasn’t what she was expecting they could always go to other towns.


    “Slough has improved a lot.” Gary said, seeing Elanor deep in thought. “It might not be the place you were expecting, because a lot has changed recently.”


    Elanor smiled back, as if to tell Gary not to worry. He was certainly a caring boy and she could see that just by his words right now, even in this situation he was caring about how it would affect her job.


    Eventually the group reached the hotel in Cipen. It was a luxury hotel that Gary had been to before, he remembered it well because it was where he had met Jayden that one fateful night.


    AJ Entertainment spared no expense getting the best they could for their stars. Getting out, the group were already ready, so they were just waiting for the van behind them with the TV crew to set up.


    While this was happening, they waited outside along with their guard Greg, and stood out in the street.


    “Your hometown is quite nice.” Clem said with a bright smile. “The hotel is better than I thought it would be as well.”


    Those standing behind Gary were a bit stunned by the interaction.


    “How does Gary know someone so rich?” Tyson asked.


    “Can’t you tell from their conversation, he’s obviously just a driver for someone else.” Spring added. “He’s most likely just friends with the driver.”


    “Oh I see, well if you want I can give you all a lift to where you want to go?” Tyler asked.


    “Ah, it''s fine, we have our own van, so don’t worry about that.” Gary replied.


    With that said, Tyler gave a wave and got in the car to drive off.


    “Was he a friend?” Clem asked.


    “Yeah, I never expected to see him here of all places to be honest.” Gary answered.


    With that said, Elanor had returned with the camera crew, as it looked like they were ready to begin filming.


    At the same time, Tyler was driving off in his car with a smirk on his face.


    “I see, so Gary’s filming again, well I’ll just have to let everyone know that Gary’s back and they should make sure to treat him and his guests the best they can while they''re here.”
