    Elianna smirked. She’d just gotten herself a real trump cardtely. “I wonder how Skr will react when the show starts and she finally sees what I’ve got up my sleeve?”

    Before they knew it, the day of the show to arrived. Skr and Zack got into the car arranged by the production team

    together. The show was broadcast live, and the recording began the instant they arrived.

    After they got in the car, an awkward silence settled between them. Zack had only met Skr a few times before, so he felt uneasy and didn’t dare speak to her. Many people noticed his anxiety through his face.

    [OMG fam, so rtable. I’m scared of my wits iwho /imy boss is around me. Can’t even get a word out!]

    [Same lol, I’m usually super chatty but the second my boss shows up, my mouth immediately shuts tight.]

    [I know, right? They barely know each other, so wh

    [This guy looks so unfamiliar. Is he a newbie or something?]

    they even talk about?]

    Skr’s haters were watching her like vultures. The moment they saw her on the show, they immediately went into action.

    [Look who’s here! If it isn’t the slut of the century. Why are you busy appearing in a variety show instead of pleasing your sugar daddy?]

    [Sneaking around with fresh meat behind your sugar daddy’s back,

    If he finds out, you’re so screwed!]

    Skr’s fans couldn’t take the trolls‘ filthy insults anymore and fired back: [Oh sure, you’re the expert, lurking under her bed, spying on her life like a creep. Pathetic.]

    [And you “know” again? Where’s your proof that she has a sugar daddy?]

    [These ragebaiters are just spouting nonsense. Sapphire already cleared things up, but they refuse to listen and keep ndering her.]

    At first, Skr’s fans calmly refuted the trolls, but as the trolls grew bolder, the whole thing quickly spiraled into a full–blown me

    war.

    Casual fans were drawn in by the barrage ofments flooding Skr’s live stream and reading thements. Behind their screens, a group of people began grinning gleefully, eager to watch the drama unfold.

    Skr couldn’t see the toxicments flooding the stream and waspletely unaware of the drama unfolding online. ‘The atmosphere in the car was painfully dull; viewers probably wouldn’t want to watch this.

    ‘If no one’s watching or paying attention, was it all for nothing? Skr thought to herself.

    She absently twisted the ring on her finger, already thinking of a way to break the ice with Zack, hoping to help him open up and

    “Zack,” Skr called out.

    Startled by the sudden mention of his name, Zack reflexively responded, “Here!”

    His sharp response reverberated through the cramped car, making Skr wince and raising a hand to rub her hair. She let out an amused sigh. “Zack, you don’t need to be so formal. Just treat me like a regr colleague.”

    Zack stammered, “Uh… M–Ms. Lambert, y–yes, Ma’am.”

    “Since when did you start stuttering?” Skr frowned, her brows knitting together. “Is it serious? Should we get you to a doctor?”

    Inwardly, she thought, ‘Zack is so eager to act, but if his line delivery isn’t up to par, the critics will tear him apart.

    Zack shook his head like a bobblehead. “N–no, Ms. Lambert, I… I’m just nervous. It’ll pass in a minute.”

    Skr chuckled softly. “Don’t stress yourself out. Just rx and take your time to adjust.”
