The inte was going wild, and Christian shelled out a fortune trying to cool down the trending topics, but nothing seemed to work.


    The tech team reported that multiple forces were at y, making it next to impossible to drop Jillian’s trending topic anytime soon.


    Photos of Jillian in various embarrassing situations stubbornly held the top spot on the trending list, getting pushed daily, and it was driving Chriin to the brink of tears.


    Out of desperation, he sent Jillian out of the country overnight, deciding to let her fend for herself. He couldn’t handle the chaos anymore.


    With Jillian’s fiasco somewhat behind him, Flora’s life settled back into its usual calm.


    Aside from attending sses, she was busy rehearsing for the wee party dance.


    Cynthia had been the one to drag her into it.


    Though Cynthia was usually quite a live wire, she was incredibly serious when it came to important matters.


    She found a dance routine online, took the time to master it herself, and then painstakingly taught everyone else, focusing on every little detail without getting tired.


    Cynthia was helping a newbie perfect her moves; the girl was a good dancer but struggled to get some steps right.


    Flora leaned against the wall, one leg bent, casually scrolling through her phone. Têxt ? N?velDrama.Org.


    Rafael had messaged her, humbly asking, “Flora, how’s the dance you choreographeding along?”


    Flora typed back, “Almost done.”


    She nned to think through some of the finer points a bit more.


    “Flora,e on, it’s time to practice!”


    Hearing Cynthia’s call, Flora tucked her phone into her pocket andzily got up.


    After practicing all afternoon, everyone was exhausted, barely managing to walk out of the studio.


    As Flora, Cynthia, and Eilies stepped out, they saw Wendy waiting at the door. Who knew how long she’d been standing there?


    “Flora, my dear freshman, we meet again!”


    It was their third encounter that day…
