Girls scrambled to get them, and the photos were quickly emptied.
I sat back in my seat, satisfied with the money I had earned.
In the classroom, Liam was sitting quietly at his desk, solving problems. The sunlight shone on his profile, making his features particularly clear.
The clean school uniform fit him perfectly. A gust of wind blew, carrying the pleasant scent of lavender laundry detergent.
His pen tip brushed against the paper. After finishing the last geometry problem, he turned to me.
I was dazzled for a moment, then smiled at him.
"Finished?"
He closed his pen and took out the answer. "Yes."
I waited quietly for him to finish checking the answers.
Not a single solution was wrong.
"How much did you sell them for?"
He spoke slowly without looking up. If it weren't for the fact that there was only me, I would have thought he was talking to someone else.
I quickly took out my stack of banknotes and coins.
"I sold a lot. It's enough for us to buy a lot of exercise books."
Liam raised his eyes and chuckled. "You can keep them all to buy exercise books for yourself. I'll ask for mine later."
"Okay. Everyone knows that Liam Shirl is the top scorer and good-looking. Who would remember me, the second place?"
Liam's eyes flickered.
I was awakened by messages in the group chat.
When I opened my phone, I found out that my online store had been reported.
When I tried to log in again, the website became a 404 error page.
Liam's fans wailed in the group and mentioned me like crazy.
[Una, what am I going to do without you, Una?]
[We're students. We can't afford expensive merch. You're our hope, Una.]
I was also frustrated.
Misfortunes never came singly.
Just when the group chat was in a mess, someone opened a new topic, exposing my doing and my Instagram account.
[This washed-up actress steals private photos from the circle. No wonder she and her shop ends up this way.]
The long Instagram post accused me of my immoral behavior, criticizing me from civil, social, and moral perspectives.
I received much attention.
I became popular with negative report.
There was a lot of criticism in the comment section.
But what I soon face was the huge compensation proposed by this Instagram influencer.
His team contacted me.
"Is this Ms. Una Benoite? We would like to talk to you about your online store."
After hanging up the phone, my former manager, Daphne Mikaela, contacted me proactively.
