Chapter 38

The Journalism Society at Lakeside College quickly made a name for themselves. They even received personal praise from the Dean.

It’s almost unheard of

Almost every member of The Journalism Society became campus celebrities.

Of course, Agnes, the interview host, was immediately thrust right into the spotlight.

At first, Agnes didn’t pay much mind to it

Until the topics about her switched from her family background to her private life, then to rumors of her being a kept woman.

Kerri sighed “All you care about is eating. You’re a journalism student, don’t you know that rumours stop with the wise? I bet someone’s just jealous and trying to smear your name. I can’t believe you’re taking it so lightly.”

It’s not that she was taking it lightly. Agnes knew that someone must be stoking the fire.
