Chapter 25: Chapter 25

Once I got back to Starlight Estates, it was time for lunch. Cherry saw me and respectfully greeted me. Glancing at the still delicious-looking food and thinking about Damon and Ariel, I suddenly lost my appetite and headed straight upstairs. "Ma'am, are you feeling unwell? Should I call a doctor?" Cherry asked, following me upstairs with concern. Ever since I forgave her for breaking my skincare products, she's been extra attentive to my needs. If she wasn't Ariel's mother, I might actually like having her as a servant. "No, I just don't feel like eating. You guys go ahead," I replied irritably, lying on my bed. Cherry wisely didn't push the issue and quietly left the room. As my thoughts swirled, I fell asleep. If it wasn't for Luna's incessant calls, I could've slept till tomorrow, Luna's voice was filled with excitement, "Fantastic! The Cellobella of the city College is back!" "Huh?" I mumbled groggily, not understanding what she meant. "I sent you a link. Check it out, now!" Luna exclaimed before hanging up. I checked my missed calls and saw that both Clara Rider and Sofia had called me three times, but I didn't pick up

I opened the link Luna sent via WhatsApp. It was a video of my performance at the city College's music hall earlier today. I was seated at the far left, but the camera kept zooming in on me like someone had a crush on me. Then there were a bunch of comments praising me, calling me a beauty with great temperament, the once Cellobella of the city College. It put a smile on my face and woke me right up. Who wouldn't like being complimented? It was my first time experiencing this feeling. I've received compliments before, but mostly because of my dad's status. This was the first time I was admired purely for my own charm. Luna called again just as I finished watching the video, "How about that? You're famous now, hahaha..." "It's quite unexpected," I admitted, in a good mood, "Guess I'm still charming!"
