Hu Ning, "You lost your purity?"
Zhou Jiajia, still avoiding eye contact, mumbled softly, "It was... unexpected."
Hu Ning's voice rose, a mix of concern and frustration. "Unexpected? Zara, you're a public figure! You can't just have unexpected things like this happen."
Zhou Jiajia's gaze remained fixed on her hands, fingers fidgeting nervously. "I know, I know. It just... happened."
The manager let out an exasperated sigh. "We need damage control. This can't be all over the news tomorrow. What were you thinking?"
Zhou Jiajia finally looked up, her eyes filled with remorse. "I wasn't thinking. I just... I needed a break."
Hu Ning's frustration deepened. "A break? Zara, you can't escape reality like this. We need to manage the fallout from this immediately."
Zhou Jiajia couldn't suppress a flicker of annoyance at Hu Ning's stern words and shot back defiantly, "What fallout? I didn't tell anyone but you."
