The post shot to the top of the trending list. Netizens, who loved drama and never shied away from fanning the flames, started concocting confession plans for Shirley Thorne. Some advertisers even popped up in the thread to hawk a so-called "Truth Potion," which was supposedly able to test if a person's feelings were genuine.
Shirley Thorne immediately reported and blocked them.
After praising her with a "Well done," the netizens went right back to teasing her, telling her not to be a coward and to just go for it.
Shirley Thorne, her face bright red, knelt on her bed and clawed at the wall in frustration. Her hands were typing so fast they were practically a blur.
"Pfft, you guys... If I confess and get rejected, won't that be super awkward?! My boss and I still have to talk business!"
The netizens were so exasperated by her response they could have cried, and they immediately started spamming the thread.
