I typically carried my student ID with me, so I immediately handed it over. The woman looked at it and finally relaxed when she saw that I was indeed a student from the university next door.
After all, our university was known for being academically competitive, and everyone who studied there had solid grades.
"Alright. You've got a decent appearance and are from a credible uni. You can start working tomorrow."
Smiling awkwardly, I decided that this wasn't the best time to ask about the bar's situation. I'd have to find out more when I dropped by tomorrow. When I returned outside, Matthew and the others were already preparing to leave.
Well, it seemed like they weren't that attached to the bar after all.
Not wanting to be a third wheel around Matthew and Isabelle, I let them go on ahead while I took a taxi back to the campus. When I got in the cab, Benjamin sent me a message.
"Hey, check it out! Lina is doing a live stream. Here's the link!"
I was puzzled by Benjamin's message. Lina, live-streaming?
Curious, I clicked on the link and was surprised to see that he had been telling the truth.
Lina was wearing a cat-ear headband and a skimpy outfit. She pouted at the camera and purred, "Thanks for supporting me. My name is Lina, and this is my first time streaming."
What the heck?
Even though I didn't have feelings for Lina anymore, seeing her blatantly trying to please men online left a sour taste in my mouth. No matter what, she shouldn't be stooping so low.
Felicia only did it because she needed money for her dad's life-saving surgery. But what was Lina's excuse?
She merely owed Ryan a few thousand dollars, yet she was already doing such inappropriate things. How disgraceful!
