The young man approaching had a warm and inviting presence, the kind that effortlessly left a good impression. The women in the live stream couldn't help but chime in.

"He's got such a cute smile, especially with those canine teeth."

"Finally, someone who doesn't seem scared of Thomas and his bad-boy vibes."

"Thomas, talk to him already. You're just standing there bored anyway."

"This guy has a boyish charm."

The newcomer's cheerful demeanor clearly impressed the viewers, but Thomas frowned. His sharp eyes narrowed with suspicion.

Though he had plenty of friends, Thomas wasn't exactly approachable. His rebellious style made him stand out, but it also kept people at a distance. Yet, here was this stranger, casually closing the gap.

Thomas remembered seeing him earlier when they collected their interview badges. At the time, the guy's expression had been no different from the rest—judgmental and full of disdain.

Now, out of nowhere, he was all smiles and friendliness. He was s

    The live stream chat was flooded with praises. Each viewer enthusiastically showered Thomas with compliments.Austin stood frozen in place. His face was pale and his expression was stiff."Did you misunderstand something—" he began, seemingly prepared to offer an explanation."Mr. Thomas Keller, it's your turn for the interview," someone called from across the corridor.Thomas didn't spare Austin a glance. With confident strides, he walked away while revealing a sly smile. The real fun was about to begin.Austin's expression was icy."Thomas, it's showtime! Let's go!" The live-stream audience erupted in cheers and encouragement.At the entrance to the conference room, a coat rack stood against the wall.Thomas walked in, dragged the rack further along the wall, and hung his leather jacket on it. Taking his time, he adjusted the jacket to ensure the hidden camera captured both himself and the interviewers clearly.The three interviewers exchanged glances but didn't dare to comm

    Thomas didn't consider himself a troublemaker. He even took his time strolling around the room. He gave the three interviewers the full view of his tattoo."What do you think?" he asked while pointing at the ferocious dragon head etched across his chest.The three interviewers were rendered speechless.Aaron quietly covered his face with his hand. This was beyond anything he could have imagined. Did Cameron know his son was pulling stunts like this?If someone handed Thomas a weapon, they genuinely believed he would storm out and cause havoc.In the live stream, comments started flooding in."Hahaha!""You're going all out, huh? Damn! If your dad finds out, he's going to have a meltdown!""Thomas has been a rebel since day one—this is why we love him!""Give these corporate types a real show, Thomas!""You're amazing, Thomas!"Thomas continued, "My previous boss said my tattoo was ugly and used that as an excuse to fire me. Ugly? Don't they know dragons are amazing?"Wait.

    "My most memorable experience? Does dressing up as a ghost to scare my boss in the middle of the night count?"Thomas even struck a dramatic pose as he spoke. He suddenly pulled out a ghost costume and slipped it on. His phone blared eerie music, and he turned off the lights in the room, creating an atmosphere that was disturbingly authentic.The three interviewers sat frozen. They were completely at a loss for words. Meanwhile, the live stream erupted in laughter. "Thomas is at it again! Hahaha!"Sliding his phone into his pocket, Thomas began backing away ominously, only to suddenly lunge toward the panel. Though they knew it was an act, they flinched as they were genuinely concerned that he might throw a punch.Aaron, who was visibly shaken, scrambled to retreat. But in the next moment, Thomas reached out and yanked off his toupee. He exposed his bare scalp for all to see.Aaron froze in mortification. His face turned a deep shade of red. The other two interviewers slapped

    Fuck, Thomas swallowed the gum!The live stream camera followed his movements and captured the person who had just arrived. The laughing comments immediately disappeared from the comment section, which fell abnormally quiet.After some time, someone finally asked in disbelief, "Is this person… even real? Thomas, did you pay someone to develop a full hologram of a celebrity?"What appeared before them was a face that even a modeling software wasn't capable of creating.Thomas had never thought of himself as ignorant. The sky was the limit for someone like him, someone akin to a werewolf who lived freely in the jungle. He had seen things that a house pet would never be able to imagine.Yet, what he was looking at right now was something that even his past self could never have envisioned.A beautiful woman gracefully sauntered into the meeting room. Her gorgeous, delicate face was glowing softly, illuminated by the fluorescent lights. Her charming eyes seemed to glitter with twinkl

    The tiny comment section burst into chaos."Fuck, that's Liesel Sharp! Do you all really not know her? She's the genius bombshell who rose to fame in the business and financial circles! Have you really not heard of the former Iron Triangle of Ford Corporation?"Even if you've never heard of Liesel's name before, you must have heard of Ms. Sharp, the Ford Corporation secretary who led the 'Bait Talks'! If you don't even know this, then you're hopeless!""Damn, that's her? The main force behind the 'Bait Talks'? But no one told me that she looks like this!""You're telling me that this world-class stunner was the one who exposed Dash Rayden at the negotiation table and squashed his arrogance? She did that with this face?""Did God give her any flaws?""Thomas is obviously entranced!""Duh! If it were me, I would be entranced too."This group of trust fund babies only knew this much about her. They didn't know anything else, much less that Liesel already had a lover.When Liesel

    Aaron knew that Liesel could deal with Thomas. She didn't even have to do anything for Thomas to back down.Liesel nodded slightly as she watched Thomas pick up the bottles of water from the floor, appearing indifferent."So, it's your turn to interview," she said casually.Thomas nodded immediately. He was already staring at her with stars in his eyes and fantasizing about their wedding."Have some water first." Without moving, she casually pointed at a bottle of water. However, Thomas had further questions. "Which bottle should I drink from?"Liesel arched an eyebrow and tilted her head to the side. "The first one, I guess."Then, Thomas walked over and clutched the first bottle tightly in his hands."Thank you, Ms. Sharp," he said shyly while looking down. With that, he tipped his head back and gulped down the water.In just one gulp, the bottle was empty.His friends chastised him in the live stream comments. "Thomas, watch your image!""You have to take small sips!""

    Actually, Liesel didn't mind these things. However, she was now managing the research department, and Howard was already a handful on his own. She didn't want to have to deal with another.She was already busy enough as it was recently, so she might not have the time to tame a second Howard. Not to mention, she wasn't sure how capable this person was.She sized him up. Her gaze swept over his unsettling purple hair.Yes, he was indeed a rebel. It wasn't going to be easy to handle him.Now that she had formed a preliminary judgment of him, her smile faded slightly.Thomas panicked. This time, he was completely flustered. All his arrogance from before had turned into embarrassment.Fuck, if he had known earlier that his soulmate was spearheading this department, he would have groomed himself properly! He would have dyed his hair dark and wore a black suit!"Ms. Sharp, this tattoo is just a sticker. I just thought it'd be fun to stick it on, but it'll come off after a few days!" he

    All Thomas could think about was how excellent Liesel was. She had such a great character. Someone like her was perfect to become his wife.But what should he do now? How could he make sure that he could stay in Hardin Group and work alongside her?In just a few seconds, he went through an emotional rollercoaster. His emotions peaked then fell to rock bottom.Aaron kept brushing the hair on his forehead back. He said nervously, "Because you picked too few people, the HR department had to accept a few more."The other two interviewers also tried to explain."We lack too much manpower, so there was no other choice.""There's no one to clean the office, and we can't find anyone to take notes during meetings. See, Ms. Sharp, this is how much manpower we are lacking. We can lower the requirements appropriately for now and revisit them when we finally get the department up and running."New blood can always be trained. Academic background cannot speak for a candidate completely."The

    How could Yvonne say that her fans were for her to exploit? That was one way to drive her fans away completely. They weren't pathetic for wanting to idolize someone.Yvonne's remaining fans tagged her on Twitter to demand answers, but she dared not respond at all. A few of her die-hard fans were left dismayed and completely disappointed in her. This prompted them to announce their departure from the fandom. Meanwhile, her remaining fans were clueless and couldn't make much impact.The video exposing Yvonne's true colors triggered a new trend "A Discussion About The Relationship Between Idols And Their Fans". Many inevitably brought up Chelsea, and Damian's fans chimed in that he was even more gentle and considerate. He even beat up a worker for stalking his fans, and that revelation earned Damian more fans.The fiasco this time had caused a wave of discussion about fans in the entertainment industry. Fans were made aware of their status so they would understand that they weren't

    "I don't believe idols are superior to their fans. We're equals—our bond is mutual. We're responsible for accompanying each other and growing together."Chelsea popped a signed photograph into a paper bag and handed it to her loyal fan next to her. She continued, "Some became my fans because of my looks and performance. "All these are definitely important, but I hope they continue being my fans in the future because of my character and excellent talents."I hope my fans will notice my efforts, and they'll do the same as I did—walk toward the future with determination. The fans' support and admiration will give me more confidence, and my hard work will also inspire my fans to be better."Chelsea confidently walked away from the crowd to Ophelia and took out a wet wipe to dry the tears from the corners of her eyes. "Becoming a fan doesn't mean you should exhaust yourself. "Idolizing others is also a great way to improve yourself. An idol is like a guiding light. If she doesn't hel

    While Ophelia had been quite harsh, her eyes turned red as soon as she spun on her heel. She had been Yvonne's fan for so many years and idolized her. It wasn't easy for Ophelia to simply dislike her right away.But Ophelia knew that she would really be a fool if she continued looking up to Yvonne. The snippet of the exchange ended there. After that, Ophelia and the others left the backstage area with reddened eyes. It was crowded outside the performance venue. Many held red LED boards, and some even held Chelsea's fan merchandise. One glance at them told Ophelia that they were Chelsians.While it seemed crowded, everyone was actually standing in two lines in an orderly fashion. Chelsea cheerfully handed out small gift bags to her fans. Afraid that Chelsea might exhaust herself, some fans took the initiative to help her hand out the bags. Others obediently distributed hot bubble tea Chelsea had bought as well. Since the weather was getting colder, she was worried that the fans wo

    A twisted expression crossed Yvonne's face. "Your love for me has always been superficial! You supported me because of my looks!"Once better and prettier idols debut, you'll immediately switch sides and support them! Why should I give back so much to fans like you?"Yvonne pointed at the door. "Look how many people have shown support for Chelsea after she debuted? How many of my fans have turned into Chelsians and how many of them even started insulting me online?"Your support has always been ridiculous and superficial! What's wrong with me for taking advantage of people like you? "Fans who stan idols have always been childish and ridiculous! Serve all of you right for being so useless! Those in their right minds would never keep up with any idols!""Have you gone mad?" Ophelia couldn't help but push Yvonne aside. Ophelia couldn't believe that Yvonne, whom she had admired for so many years, had uttered such unkind words. Ophelia threw the LED board to the ground. The utter fo

    The paparazzo burst into laughter. He held his stomach as he rolled on the couch in glee. "Oh, wow! You still invited your fans here in your current situation. They're really your diehard fans."A vein throbbed on Yvonne's forehead. She couldn't help but hiss under her breath. "Aren't you my fans? Since you are, you should be on my side and continue helping me!""We might be fans, but does that mean you can treat us as fools?"While Ophelia's eyes had gone red, she did not hold back as she lashed out at Yvonne. "You already knew that we're just useless female students. Why did you even message us privately and invite us to the performance venue?"We worried about you. We showed up with light sticks and gifts, just hoping to let you know we were still here and that we still had your back. "And what did you do? What are fans to you, Yvonne? Are we even people in your eyes? Or are we just tools—things you can use and toss aside whenever you feel like it?"Yvonne froze. Meanwhile, t

    Yvonne opened the door and was startled by the sight of Ophelia and her friends. She patted her chest. "When did you guys arrive? Don't you know how to knock on the door?"Ophelia and her two friends stared at Yvonne with reddened eyes and did not respond. Yvonne recalled the public's opinions toward her as well as the online criticism toward her fans. Their expressions made Yvonne feel rather sympathetic toward them. Since their eyes had turned red, she believed they must have cried out of exasperation after learning that Yvonne was being bullied in the group. They really did seem to be her true fans. "Come in." Yvonne gestured with her chin. After the three entered the lounge, Yvonne handed them three bottles of juice. "Have something to drink for now. I'll take you out for a bite later."Ophelia held the bottle of juice but did not drink it. Finally, Yvonne noticed that each of them was holding a cat doll. "Are you giving me these cat dolls as presents?"The three did not say

    Yvonne's chest ached, making it hard for her to breathe. The words Ophelia once said had left her feeling extremely miserable. Yvonne sat at the table and sobbed."Chelsea became what others have always dreamed to be because she didn't need any persona. She always shone the brightest on stage. Chelsea can lead her fans into a brighter future, and you'll only lead us into darkness and nightmares."Those were Ophelia's last words before leaving. Until now, her words haunted Yvonne like a relentless nightmare. It was like a projector that couldn't be switched off, replaying over and over that she was nothing compared to Chelsea.How did that happen? Ophelia was Yvonne's fan, and Yvonne believed Ophelia, the daughter of the Fords, should always be her fan. Yvonne wiped her tears away. As soon as she turned around, she saw the cat doll Ophelia had given her as a final gift. These days, Yvonne took the cat doll with her everywhere. She still kept it with her even while filming a self-

    At Ashthorne Studios, the director announced, "Alright, cut! That's a wrap, everyone. Great work today! You can all head off to the hotel and get some rest." Crew members chuckled and began filing out. They were chatting as they made their way to their rooms.But Yvonne, who was still on set, was fuming as she clutched her phone. She had seen Ophelia's reply, and it only made her angrier.One of her assistants, who was trailing behind with genuine concern, asked, "Yvonne, are you alright? Feeling unwell?""Get lost!" Yvonne snapped, glaring. "You're an eyesore!"The assistant shrank back, clearly frightened and hurt by her harsh tone.Yvonne hurried off to her hotel room with her phone clutched tightly as she replayed a particular video over and over. There was no mistaking that the person in the video was one of her biggest fans from back in the day, the same fan who had once waited for her at the airport in Huntaria.A seething mix of jealousy, anger, and bitter resentment chur

    Ophelia was done with Yvonne. Unable to hold back her emotions any longer, she took to Twitter to attack her."Did you really think that every gift I painstakingly made was worthless? After years of devotion, the person I once adored has become completely unrecognizable. When I confronted her, she acted as if nothing was wrong."She even claimed that because I was her fan, I had no right to criticize her. I find that utterly absurd."I once asked her what a fan meant to her, and she dismissed us as shallow, saying our love was something that could be discarded. I always believed an idol should be the pillar of her fans' dreams, a beacon of hope. "But the Yvonne I loved—the one who shone so brightly in pursuit of her dreams—was gone."So, from that day on, I severed all ties. The doll I once gave her on Twitter was my final farewell gift. It was a proper goodbye, not a sign of regret. I stopped logging into that account because I wanted to leave with dignity."And don't say Chels
