Lara read the comments, and she couldn’t help but smile even harder. Her smile kept widening as she scrolled through them.“You all have a way of making me smile so hard till my cheeks hurt,” Lara said softly. “I’m just a humble girl living life, and you all love me this much?”She shook her head slightly, clearly overwhelmed.“I’m super grateful,” she added as she sat on the bed.“I have a couple more artworks to show you,” Lara continued. “But first, I want to talk about how comfortable this bed is.”She patted the bed lightly and smiled.“I got it from…”She suddenly stopped talking.Her smile faded immediately as she stared at her phone screen. Her eyes widened slowly when she realized that it wasn’t only her face showing on the video anymore.Someone else was in the frame.Lara screamed loudly as she looked at the screen again. Her heart almost jumped out of her chest. She turned her back immediately, and when she saw someone standing there, her scream became even louder.She scr

Suddenly, Lara moved. She rushed to the bed and knelt beside Nolan, her knees sinking into the mattress.She placed her hands gently on his thigh.“You’re not in need of a girlfriend, are you?” she asked softly, a sly smile spreading across her face.“What…?” Nolan asked, shocked and confused, clearly not expecting such a question.“If you don’t mind,” Lara continued, leaning closer, “I can warm your bed for you tonight… if you’d love that.”She chuckled lightly.“We can have a thing or two together.”She tilted her head slightly. “Do you understand what I mean?”As she spoke, her fingers slowly played with the buttons on Nolan’s pajamas, her smile growing wider.“You know,” Nolan said with a smirk, “before you entered the room, I was about to call the police and report that someone barged into my room. You would have been arrested and woul a lot of things to explain to them, like how you got the pin to my apartment.”Lara moved back a bit, panicking. “I’m not a thief, I promise you,”

Lara walked angrily back to her small car, huffing and puffing as she replayed everything that had happened in her head.“What is his problem? What is his deal?” she muttered angrily as she got into her car and slammed the door shut.“Do you even know who I am, that you don’t want to be friends with me? I’m a celebrity.”She scoffed. “You fool. You should be glad that I want to be your friend, you proud thing.”She shook her head in irritation.“Nobody would even want to be friends with the kind of person that you are.”She brought out her phone and opened the app that everyone used to connect with one another and after about an hour of searching for Nolan, she finally found his name.It was quite easy for her, especially because Nolan used a picture of himself as his display picture.As she was about to text Nolan on the app, she noticed that she had received several private messages from her fans.She opened a few of them and started reading.“Lara, you left the livestream without e

Cherry took a deep breath as she slowly sipped her drink, thinking about everything Debby had said. For about three months now, her dad’s company had been facing serious problems.Her dad had invested in a startup company that he thought had big potential, so he went all in. He didn’t know he was being deceived so he got scammed and that scam led to bankruptcy for the company because their finances started dipping really badly.Her father had to keep borrowing money and taking loans just to pay his employees, but it wasn’t working and no matter what he did, the situation kept getting worse. This was one of the reasons Cherry had tried to get close to James. She knew about Natural Bebe and how being in a relationship with James could help her dad’s company.James had been making a lot of mouth, talking about how he would be the next managing director of his father’s company and that alone gave Cherry more reasons to move closer to him but what she didn’t expect at all happened at the re

Nolan realized that he had just been staring and hadn’t said anything in response to what Cherry said. He quickly pulled himself together and spoke.“Oh… it’s nothing,” he said. “I had totally forgotten about what happened. So it’s fine. It’s all fine.”To Nolan, since Cherry had apologized, everything was settled. He wasn’t the type to hold on to things or drag issues longer than necessary. In his mind, the matter was over, and there was no need to talk about it again or bring it up in the future.However, deep down, Cherry wasn’t happy at all. She felt uncomfortable and unsatisfied.She felt like she deserved an apology too. In her heart, she believed Nolan had disgraced her that day, and now she was the only one apologizing while he said nothing about his own actions. That didn’t sit well with her at all.But she couldn’t talk about it and that made her feel even worse.If she could speak up and say how she felt, it would be different, but she couldn’t. She had been warned, advised
