It's already been a week since that live stream and now, her father just arrived in Country C.
"Father!" Zohara exclaimed seeing her father entering her home. She immediately hugged him which was answered with a hug.
"Glad to see you again" Zin uttered and rubbed Zohara's hair. He was wearing a tuxedo and just came from the airport.
"Me too!"
"I'll take a bath first, then let's eat dinner after."
Zohara just nods and jumps back to the sofa in the living room. Her father has his separate room in this so he can stay if he wants to.
After an hour Zin went downstairs wearing a short and black t-shirt. He looks much younger and his expression is softer. He went to the living room and saw his daughter intently watching a horror movie.
"Let's eat"
He tapped her shoulder which was answered by a wide smile as they went to the dining table. The meal was quite simple but homey.
"How's your stay here?" Zin opened up the topic
"Amazing, Auntie Lara and Paula are really kind. The house size is also enough."
"I assign a guard to you, they'll be hidden and just act if you're in danger."
"Yeah, I realized that you would once I do live streaming" She answer while laughing cheekily
"Do you want to pursue that industry?" Zin asked with a hint of a sigh and helplessness. He knew how dirty the Entertainment industry was. He's glad that almost all the apps Zohara's used were owned by Linx, so he'll have the ability to filter the hate comments Zohara's sees. Well, it's minimal, but it's still there, he ordered some staff to strictly monitor it and delete too hateful comments while some hate comments can still be seen but Zin knows Zohara can handle those that much.
"Im just interested right now, I still want to study and do live streaming every now and then? I don't know if I'll actually enter the industry."
"Think carefully and you can pursue both if you want. As long as you want it."
Zohara just nodded happily, after their dinner, Zin used Zohara's study room and handled some matters while Zohara stayed in her room. She knows her father must be busy.
Around 9PM, she knocked on the door of the study room while holding her father's favorite tea. She placed it in a safe space.
"Thank you," her father said with a soft smile.
"hehe" Zohara laughed cheekily "hmmm father, can I learn how to drive?"
Her father stopped what he was doing and thought deeply.
"Please…pretty please, I'll be careful and I won't drive alone until I master it and you test it!" She begged, she heard her father sigh before nodding.
"I'll call Secretary Luke tomorrow, we'll hire a trustworthy teacher."
"Yay! Thank you father!" She exclaimed happily and pecked his cheeks. Her father just laughed and rubbed her hair.
"Sleep early, I'll be leaving at dawn later."
"You too, remember to rest."
•
Zohara wakes up around 8AM, she checks her phone and she has 1 message from her father and 3 messages from Secretary Luke.
A training car will arrive around 11AM while the instructor named Jill arrived around 2PM. Secretary Luke also sends Jill's background information which she didn't care about.
She continued to laze around and opened her L-Line account. Her fame continues to grow, she now has 3.2 million followers. She took a selfie and posted it.
@Ohara
Rise and shine everyone!
:It's been 3 days since your last post! I miss you!
:She's alive again!
:Ohara always goes MIA T^T
:Post more please! Bless us with your beauty!
Then she opened her L-Rest account with 1.8 million followers and created a poll for the topic of her live stream next week.
@Ohara
Let's meet next week!
a). Learning new instrument
b). Learning how to bake
c). Studying
In the afternoon, Mr. Jill arrived and he guided her dedicatedly. He also reports back to Secretary Luke everyday while Zohara spends her weeks being taught. She was able to learn it immediately but her father wouldn't let her drive alone even when Mr. Jill said she could.
Her father wanted to check it next week and they'll be on vacation in Province J for a week.
It was now Monday the day she scheduled to do live streaming. She simply wears a red shirt and shorts. She tightens her hair and wears a head band before setting the Ipad on the kitchen counter. Auntie Paula and Lara already prepared the materials and ingredients she needed.
"Hello guys, we're in our kitchen."
"I'll be making red velvet cookies then let's watch a horror movie later." She answered and looked for an instruction video on how to bake.
"Yes, this is my first time baking and Aunties help me in preparing the necessity."
"Hmm, they are my helper in the house, father hired them."
"I don't know, they might not want to be seen. I'll ask them later."
Then she watched the 15 minute video without talking. Some people seemed bored but they couldnt leave because Zohara looks so beautiful when she's focused. They can't just get enough.
"Ah I get it, oh- I was too absorbed, I'm glad everyone is still here." She laughs shyly with a tilt head creating a continuous gift giving.
"Why don't I say thank you when I receive a gift? Well, there are many people giving. I'll have a hard time thanking everyone."
"Now that you mentioned it I still didn't see my earnings last week, should I call it earnings?" She laugh "I'll just donate this earnings in charities and orphanage"
She uttered and prepared the materials she needed and answered some questions while moving her hands.
"Who said I hate money? I think no one hates free money but I already have enough. So, I decided that my earnings from the livestream will be donated."
"I should buy something for myself, leave something for myself?"
"I'll take 30% of my earnings and leave 70% for donations, I think that's enough."
"Yes, I'll disclose the charities, you can also donate if you want to."
:Do you remember certain viewers?
"Yes, I think I can name 4, first was Mr. Wealth." She answered with a laugh "I think everyone knows him, he's the one who keeps spamming the most expensive gift since last week. I thought he was my father at first, supporting me."
Mr. Wealth: I don't have a child.
The comment section was filled with laughter.
"Then, Lady Rose. She's the first one who always enters my livestream and even the first person to comment and like my post in L-Line."
Lady Rose: WOAH! YOU NOTICED ME! I CAN DIE RIGHT NOW!
"Then AA, he's good at asking questions, I think I mostly answer his question?"
AA: As I should…
"Maybe, he's a reporter" as she chuckled. "Then lastly, A7, one of the first followers in my L-Line, he's most likely a student. He seems shy and a silent follower."
"My live streaming schedule? It depends, next week I'll be away."
"Modelling? I'll think about it."
"L-Videos? I don't have an account, I didn't know I had lots of edited videos in there. I'll see it later and I'll try creating short videos and learn how to edit."
"No, I'll try learning it, I'm quite bored."
: What instruments can you play?
"I can play piano, violin, guitar and guzheng. Mostly a string instrument."
"I don't do sports that much, I did play volleyball when I was in High School and I sometimes dance but that's all. I usually spend my time at home."
"Boy Band? I only listen to classicals, especially when I'm studying but I might try listening to some. Recommend something later, also some movies and series. I've only been watching horrors."
Zohara creates a circular piece and places it on the tray. Then she set the oven for 14 minutes and placed the cookies.
Then she opened carbonara spicy noodles and heated the water.
"Ah right, now I am thinking about recommendations, should we watch a horror movie or can you recommend a good movie."
Countless comments were seen, well the viewer was 2 million.
"I'll create a poll based on the most popular comment and you can vote until I've prepared all my foods."
After 20 minutes, Zohara was able to set the gadgets in the living room. One camera was directed to the TV showing the movie while the other was directed to her. She was on the sofa, covered with a blanket, the table in front of her had red velvet cookies, noodles, junk foods and milk.
"I left some cookies for my father, it's my first time baking so he needed to taste it. It's also a bribe because I'm eating too much unhealthy food in one go." She laughed and waved her hand in the camera with a cute smile.
"The poll winner is the movie called 'Heart' . Let me look for the review."
"Oh, it's a recent movie, a thriller and mystery. It's one of the highest grossing films and acted by Riujie."
:Do you know Riujie? He's one of the most famous actors and won the best actor award 2X.
"No, it's my first time hearing his name. Don't bash me" She answer with a laughter
"I told you, I don't usually watch dramas especially series, based on what I see, this is his first movie and he acted in romance and historical drama before. But I've never touched that genre. The horror I watched is from other countries and most of it is animated. Even documentaries."
:Dont worry its understandable, I just hope no crazed fans of Riujie bashed you!
"Well, people have different interests, liking or hating something is not an act you can push onto people.Alright, let's watch!"
At the Hills sports center, countless wealthy children were playing golf and a dedicated rest area with a white huge umbrella was set in the side. You can see second generation wealthy sons and daughters of Country C. They are mostly golden spoons and some are diamond spoons. What is the difference between them? The others are 2 while the top are 1, the 2 are wealthy for about 10-50 years, while the 1 are generational wealthy for about 100 years, they already took root in the country such as Hills who almost owned half the buildings and shopping malls in their country, they thrived in Real Estate.
Leox Hill was not interested in the conversation around him. He was watching a livestream. L-Rest project was a project of Zan's and Leox were able to get 0.4% of when it was first launched. It's quite hard to get a share in the Linx project so even 0.4% have a huge turntable, especially now, he's quite happy with it. Since its launch he has been a frequent user of it and throws gifts to various live streamers because he can. He just likes how those live streamers do everything just to get some change money from it. Basically, Leox looks down on them.
As a VIP user, a notification sometimes gets sent to him once a new live streamer becomes too popular. He got a notification of Ohara's ID two weeks ago and was able to be in her first livestream. He thought he was a regular rich kid wannabe but she wasn't.
She's actually rich but Leox can gauge her wealth. Even though she was living in Hills Residence, it's not the most wealthy Residence in their country, the Jaguar Hill is, that's also the location of Hill's Family Mansion. As for the residence of Hill, they are mostly family with a wealth of 3 and 2. Leox doesn't dwell that much on her wealth, what interested him was that she's really beautiful and smart.
He stalked her L-Line, and he was shocked by her N.E. score, a topnotcher, a beauty and a talent. Zohara has it all, her attitude was also quite nice, not too kind but not too bad. She also has a beautiful smile. He was also noticed by her earlier and was categorized as her father. Now, he's watching her watching a movie with a serious face while eating. She looks cute munching those foods, with a tiny shift of expression every now and then. Leox was not the only one who found her interesting, well 2 millions unique viewers are watching.
Leox was quite addicted to it, he stalked her account until her first post and watched edited video of her from her previous livestream. If he was degenerate enough, he would check where her residence is, but he stopped himself and didn't want to be that kind of lunatic.
"What's wrong with Leox?" Ghiana asked, she's one of the actresses that have been in a relationship with Leox before. She was just a minor influencer but with Leox money and influence, she became a well known actress and got various dramas in line. She was his girlfriend for 2 months, which was the longest and because of her amiable attitude after the break up, she was not totally cut in the circle even when they broke up. She also became close to Raina and Davon, who are 2's.
In the rest table sofas, the right sofa was seated by Raina, Davon and Ghiana. The left sofa was seated by Zara Linx, Gennova Hill and Vierra Lux, fiancee of Sern Erlx. They are a family of 1's except for Lux but because she was Sern's fiancee she usually associates herself with them. Zara and Gennova look at the right sofa with eyes full of belittlement and disgust especially to Ghiana. Ghiana was used to it. While Vierra doesn't even care about their existence.
"Nervous that my brother will bring another one like you?" Gennova asked with raised eyebrows "Don't worry even when countless women like you come, no one can really enter the family especially for the likes of you."
Ghiana's eyes reddened and looked at Leox, but Leox didn't hear anything because he was wearing an earphone and simply, he didn't care even if he heard it.
Then 3 golf carts arrived, the first one was the cart of Sern, then Viren Lux, brother of Vierra and then Soren Erlx, Sern's younger brother. Soren and Viren are friends and both are college students this year.
Vierra immediately stood up and wiped Sern's sweat in his face.
"Thank you" He coldly said, Sern is always cold and being his fiancee for three years, Vierra was used to it.
His younger brother had the opposite disposition, he was playful and sunny. He was friendly and Zara liked him a lot, especially when all men around him always had a poker face, her brother Zan, then Zen, even her father. She always felt suffocated in the mansion, so she frequently left the house. While Viren is amiable, he was calm, polite but not cold.
"What's with Brother Leox?" He asked and went behind Leox who was still watching intently. Soren obsidian siren eyes widen, as he brushes his blonde hair to the back using his hand.
"Is that Zohara?" Soren asked and tapped Leox shoulder, luckily the live stream just ended after 3hrs, so Leox removed his earphone and looked at Soren.
"What?"
"The woman in the live stream, is that Zohara? I didn't know she does livestream! What's her @?" He asked continuously with a hint of excitement
"You know her?" Leox asked with a raised eyebrow
"Who wouldn't know her?! She's a freaking monster, have you seen her N.E. score? As her batchmate, we are at her mercy."
"I also met her a few times in the Olympiad, and trained at the same time." Viren also shares "She does livestreaming now? She must be bored."
"Who's Zohara?" Vierra asked hearing her brother
"The current N.E. topnotcher and must be a livestreamer?" Viren shares
"Youre following her brother?" Gennova asked with a hint of disgust hearing the word livestreamer. Even when she was topnotcher but she still livestreaming, she must be poor, she concluded.
"I accidentally learned about her, she's interesting." Leox answered
"She's also damn smart, I'm telling you, her notes were the sole reason I was able to pass University A., N.E. threshold." Soren said with a hint of reverence
"How did you get her notes?" Leox asked with a hint of interest and raised eyebrow
"I let Viren begged Zohara at the Olympiad 3 months before the N.E. She sells it at a high price but it's worth it." Soren shares while laughing, Viren shakes his head remembering himself following Zohara for a week in the training camp that time. She only sells it because she was irritated at him and even set it to the highest price out of spite but Soren really pays the amount.
"That's her notes?" Sern uncharacteristically asked, well, he was an education freak.
"Yes brother! It was so good that my brother also borrowed some." Soren said proudly
"Well, it's clean." He complimented making Leox eyebrow raised and Vierra felt a pang of envy to that unknown woman. The people Sern complimented can be counted in hand.
"In the end even with her great mind, she still ends up livestreaming, how poor is she?" Zara ridiculed which was also laughed by Gennova
"Well, we do know the characteristics of those kinds of people. Money hunger" Gennova added
Viren and Soren knew it was not the truth but they didn't say anything. They just knew the existing prejudice against lower class people and they didn't want to sweat that much about it especially against Gennova and Zara who have prejudice deep in their bones.
As for Leox, he didn't care, his sister might be right or wrong but he didn't care enough.
"What's her @?" Soren asked not caring to the earlier comments
"Ohara, I'll be leaving first." Leox uttered, as they left in groups.
Soren and Viren left at the same time, they both stayed in Hills Condominium near the University A.
Soren immediately searches @Ohara in L-Line full of interest. His eyes widened, 3.6 million followers? She's famous. He also looked at her recent post, he couldn't help but sigh, she really looks beautiful, cute and damn smart.
He followed her and her account in L-Rest. He began stalking her account full of interest.
"Do you think she will like me if I court her?" Soren asked straight to the point at Viren. Viren was choked by his drinks.
"W-what?!"
"Well, I quite like her, she looks beautiful, smart and talented. She can also play violin and piano! Her voice was also nice! Isn't she a heaven sent?"
"Is your heart thumping as if it'll leave your ribcage? or feel nervous?" Viren asked calmly. Soren thinks deeply…
"No, I'm not sick."
Viren sigh because of his friend
"Then you don't like her, when you like someone, your heart thump like crazy, you feel happy just seeing her, you adore everything about her even her imperfectness. You are probably just a fan of Zohara, you fell in awe of her achievement but not romantically." Viren explained
"Is that so? hmmm… it doesn't sound bad! I'll be a fan, I'll follow her around once the class."
"Just dont be a fucking creep or something, ask for permission and dont make her uncomfortable."
"Alright, introduce me to her, she probably remembers you."
Probably not and if she does, she probably remembers me as a lunatic who follows her around because of notes.
Viren couldn't help but to think…
