"W-What nonsense is she talking about? Campaign or what?" The wine glass slipped from her hand, spilling the wine on the floor.
Hastily, she dialled Zhang Yuxi's number but the line was busy. Gritting her teeth, she dialled Wang Lei's number.
"Boss-"
"We were just rejoicing over nothing. She already got out of our hand. Campaign? The president called me earlier and told me that Yuxi informed everyone that I was the one who approved it. My ears nearly bled by how much he lashed out on me for my irrational judgement."
"Did you not tell him the truth?" She asked.
"You think I didn't try? He straight out blamed me for everything and said not to make any excuses. What exactly did Yuxi do to make them believe her rather than me?"
"*Sigh* What are we going to do now?"
"Nothing. Actually the campaign is a decent idea for forging a more trustful relationship with the Zhang Family, so it will just continue as Yuxi said. They were just angered by the rash choice I made without their authorization. Since she already declared it, we can't do anything. Let's support her as it is."
"I am so bewildered right now. What in the world is that girl thinking? We have to make her obey us again if we want to get promoted. That petty rich girl might as well kick me out one day."
"Tomorrow is her first day in high school. Accompany her to the school and meet the school director there. Don't be idiotic and lash out at her. You really would get fired. Be careful." He hung up.
*Scoff*
Sitting on the chair, Feng Xia stared at the spilt wine, mumbling softly " Sure, You learned to play games? Let's do it then."

[Caution: Following words may upset some readers.]
(Liz, You are so kind-hearted. I hope you are fine. Don't worry, your number one fan will support you till death.)
(B*tch is just taking advantage of her grandfather's death. So shameless.)
(The commenter above please, Don't talk like that about my goddess.)
(Goddess, my foot. Weren't you the one who used to call her nasty pig just a year ago? Lol, You are as shameless as her.)
(Don't you think it's perfect timing? I mean, she recently debuted as a singer, she needs lots of publicity to grow her fame and fandom.)
(Hey, Are you implying she killed her own grandfather? Does that make any sense? People nowadays love to play detective on the internet.)
(When did I mention those ridiculous things? Don't accuse me. I was just saying it is so unusual for a celebrity like her to suddenly want to continue her studies immediately after her beloved one's death.)
(Don't argue here. If you want to support then do so. If you don't, kindly leave.)
(To be honest, I am not her anti-fan or something like that. But, she didn't look like a grieving person at all. She was thanking again and again, yet is it just me that can't feel the sincerity in it. It felt like she was acting.)
(I said, Stop already!! I will report anyone who speaks ill of my goddess.)
"Master, I suggest you not read those nasty comments. They just spout about anything without thinking. Here is the dress for your school tomorrow." Niao said as she passed the dress to her.
Zhang Yuxi threw her phone and the school dress on the bed before staring at Niao " Then, why did you cry every night reading those nasty comments in the past even though you knew they utter nonsense without thinking?"
Niao was taken aback by her words. She opened her mouth to reply, yet no words escaped her mouth, making the room go silent.
*Sigh*
"Niao, You obey me, right?"
"*Nodding* Yeah, Master. I obey and will always obey my master till my death."
"Without any questions?"
"Yeah, Absolutely since I have unwavering faith in you, Master"
"Look at me from now on."
"Yea-" She halted. Biting her lips, she remained quiet.
"What? Are you already going back on your words?" Yuxi giggled.
Shaking her head frantically " That's not it, Master. I- I don't think I can. I can die for you but I can't stare at your eyes."
"What a dramatic dialogue. They are human eyes, Don't worry. I mean shouldn't I be a bit cold, aloof, evil master? Why am I being like this? No wonder you won't obey me."
"T-That's not it!" Niao quickly denied it as she lifted her head and made eye contact with Yuxi.
"Oh!" Realising it, she wanted to close her eyes, but she couldn't move nor her eye muscles.
Yuxi stood up, cupped her face into her hands, voicing slowly " I was just kidding. I might be the supreme god for everyone, deep down I am still an ordinary woman. Do you know I didn't have any siblings but I wanted one. Why don't you fill in the space, then?"
"HUH?!" Niao's face flushed red as she heard Yuxi's words. "M-Master, H-How can you joke like that?"
"Who said I was joking this time?" Yuxi pouted, returning to her seat.
Finally, being able to move, Niao covered her bright flushed face, trying to control her breathing and her rattling heart.
"Take this. And come to school on time."
Niao looked at the school uniform Yuxi was giving to her which she handed a while ago, with a stunned look.
