Chapter 38

The Journalism Society at Lakeside College quickly made a name for themselves. They even received personal praise from the Dean. Their publication Big Shot got huge backing from the school, with many lining up for interviews, including some high profile socialites. For a campus media outlet to cause such a stir. 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.

During lunch, Kerri showed Agnes the gossip circulating on the forums: ‘Everyone’s saying Jared agreed to your interview because he’s your sugar daddy. Agnes, these rumours have been getting more rampant these past few days. Don’t you want to clear things up?”

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.
