"How could you be so cruel? And to think I was a fan!"
"Dreamer's voice is angelic. I should've known she wasn't what you said. You've concocted this whole narrative, Bluebell. What a letdown!"
One by one, her followers clicked unfollow and unsubscribe, while messages of apology flooded Lilah's inbox.
With her apology done, Bluebell signed off. It didn't take long before her account faced a permanent shutdown.
The general consensus? She had it coming.
Even Lilah was surprised by the quick turn of events. That Shake-
Shake platform didn't mess around!
Speaking of surprises, who was behind those lavish tips? Lilah checked the username: “Love-Dreamer". The individual had sent a message to her a moment ago.
Love-Dreamer: "Your voice is a gift to the ears!"
Dreamer: “Thanks so much. But your tips are over the top. Do you want your money back?"
Love-Dreamer: “Not at all. I'm a genuine fan. I like you so much.
Just showing some heartfelt support!"
Dreamer: "I'm flattered, really. But my heart's taken."
Love-Dreamer: "Oh? And who might the lucky person be?"
A hint of annoyance crept into Lilah. Wasn't he prying a bit too much?
Dreamer: “I'd rather keep that to myself. I treat Shake-Shake as a hobby, not a livelihood. I can return your tips if you'd prefer."
Love-Dreamer: "Once given, the gift is yours. No need for refunds.
But I'm curious, who's captured your heart?"
His persistence was grating, and Lilah could feel her patience wearing thin.
Dreamer: "The person who's caught my attention bears the last name Harris. Beyond that, it's none of your concern. I'd appreciate it if you refrained from prying further."
Surely, that would deter him.
In the CEO's office at the Harris Group, Gerard Lounged behind an opulent desk. His striking features, initially shrouded in solemnity, shifted remarkably upon digesting the latest message. A charming smile emerged, his eyes warming.
The only Harris man she was acquainted with was him.
So, she had developed feelings for him, albeit subtly.
