When Susan showed up at the television production studio, she saw Ian and Vivian busy taking photos.
With Ianâs presence, that female celebrity also became much more obedient.
âIs this posture fine?â She flashed a bright smile and took the initiative to ask the two while
standing on stage.
While Ian said nothing, Vivian was so ecstatic she brought her camera up and began snapping photos
wildly.
That sight left Susan feeling slightly relieved. Since theyâre taking photos together, theyâve probably
resolved their misunderstanding and patched things up.
A smile crept up her face, and she turned around to leave.
âThat should be Vivianâs brother, right? Heâs rather impressive, isnât he? His appearance instantly made a
female celebrity obey him. Look, she even allows Vivian to take photos of herâ
âExactly. I guess money does make the world go round.â
A group of students began gossiping in dissatisfaction outside the studio after catching a glimpse of
Vivian and Ianâs actions inside.
Susanâs eyes darkened.
Throwing a glance at the group, she noticed that they also had a photography pass hanging on their
necks, similar to one that Vivian possessed. Comprehension instantly dawned upon her, and she strode
up to them.
âHi, may I know⦠why you guys are crowding around here to take photos of that lady?â
âItâs an assignment we have to complete!â Seeing that it was a senior they were unfamiliar with after
peering at Susan, one of them within the group impassively answered.
Ignoring the displeasure written on their faces, Susan continued to probe, âI see. Then why are you all
standing outside? That girl is in there; you guys can head inside too.â
She was, in truth, rather perplexed.
To Susanâs understanding, Vivian was a magnanimous person who surely would not mind sharing such
an opportunity with her classmates.
Nonetheless, those girlsâ faces immediately contorted into an ugly scowl upon hearing her words.
âWhy should we go in there? Didnât you see that celebrityâs assistant chasing US out? Gosh, Vivian, that
brat, is usually so laid back and always ranks last in grades among everyone in the faculty. But now that
thereâs an assignment due, she calls her brother here to help. Is there a need for her to study if she
completes her assignment this way? Her family is so rich that she can probably afford to start up her own
media company after
she graduates. Why does she still need to come to school and go through the drill?â
Those girls spared no leniency with their words.
Of course, those nasty remarks caused anger to brew deep within Susan, but she chose not to say
anything and left to find the Faculty of Mediaâs professor.
About half an hour later, she learned from the professor that Vivian was not scoring well for the various
modules since her admission into the school.
Knowing that Vivian was such an intelligent girl, Susan was appalled to find that her results were at the
bottom of her class after flipping through pages of documents.
âSir, w-whatâs wrong⦠with her? Vivi used to be an outstanding student.â
âMy take is that she doesnât seem very interested. She always looks listless during my classes. It
appears like sheâs merely trying to idle the hours away.â
Despite Vivianâs poor attitude in class, the professor was nice enough to share his understanding of her
when he encountered someone enquiring about it.
Doesnât seem interested?
Susanâs heart skipped a beat when she heard that.
Itâs honestly torturous to do something without any interest. This matter obviously isnât a minor issue. Vivi
learning something she doesnât like now means sheâll have a job that sheâs unenthusiastic about in the
future. Sheâll be in an agonizing spot when that day comes.
That afternoon, Susan chatted with that professor for a long time in the latterâs office.
Following that, she went to look for Kurt.
âThe professor said that?â
Like Susan, Kurtâs mood instantly went downhill after learning about the matter.
Truthfully, he had his suspicions too.
Yet, Vivian had done everything she could to keep the truth from him, mainly because she was worried
he would chase her away for that reason. To avoid chances of him learning about it, she had even
fostered a good relationship with her professors and classmates prior.
So, that silly girl has been forcing herself.
That revelation made Kurt leap to his feet.
âWhere are you going?â Susan hastily asked when she saw his action.
âIâm going to look for the professor to apply for a school transfer.â
Little did she expect that instead of confronting Vivian and helping her resolve her problem, Kurt would
choose
to apply for a school transfer for himself.
Where does he intend to transfer to? To a school that offers a program that Vivian is interested in?
Susan was undoubtedly stumped. It was the first time she came across such a couple where one would
go to such an extent for the other half. She knew well that her relationship with Ian was far from that
stage.
âDonât act recklessly just yet. Sit down and hear me out first.â It took Susan a while to calm her emotions
before she could assuage Kurt with her analysis.
Bracing himself, he sat back down.
âThe thing is, Iâve learned from Viviâs professor earlier today that she shows no interest in classes
because she hasnât found her professional hobby.â
âProfessional hobby?â
âYes. The Faculty of Media, in the eyes of many, is merely dealing with the entertainment and film
industry. Vivi probably sees it that way too, and thatâs why she isnât interested. But thereâs actually
something within the program that fits well with her interests.â
Susan took out a document she retrieved from the professor and placed it in front of Kurt.
