It was one of the top-tier universities in the nation, on par with the esteemed Solstice College. Shirley, at the tender age of thirty,

teaching at this institution, was a testament to her excellence.

Maja had her target in sight. As she saw Shirley approaching from a distance, she feigned a stomachache, clutching her belly.

Shirley was dressed in a soft, gentle manner, with shoulder-length hair and a scarf wrapped around her neck.

Her gaze lingered on Maja for a few seconds, hesitant. "Are you feeling alright?" she asked.

Maja looked up, meeting Shirley's eyes.

It seemed Shirley recognized her. Hesitating for a few seconds, she finally asked, "Aren't you Miss Maja from Star Movie Group?"

Not to mention the rumors that had swirled around her and lan, which had made the rounds on social media.

Feeling a bit awkward, Maja remembered her distinct identity and stood upright.

"Ah, yes, that's me."
