Chapter 100
The photo wasn’t even pixelated. In the photo, Benton was sound asleep, with a white blanket draped over his waist. Beside him was a woman in a bathrobe, smiling brightly while taking a selfie.
It was likely a photo secretly taken by the influencer but somehow ended up in her boyfriend’s hands.
Benton had built an image as “the boy–next–door” and “campus heartthrob from the start of his career.
In his seven years in the industry, he had never publicly dated anyone. While there had been rumors of romance with co–stars, he always denied them, insisting they were just friends.
Even the recent pairing with Moira was widely understood by
his r
fans to be a publicity stunt
Other than his fans, many others thought it was perfectly normal for a man nearing thirty to
o have
musical needs. physical
Yet, whenever rumors of him dating a co–star arose, he denied them, shifted the blame onto the women, and let his fans ruthlessly insult them, proving he lacked both decency and accountability.
Now, being caught with a woman who already had a boyfriend crossed a serious moral boundary.
Even though some die–hard fans insisted that it was a scam and Benton was the victim, his fan club announced that they would stop supporting him. The post read: [Tsk! You’re worse than Moira Elliott!]

When the door opened, the couple was thrilled to see her and expressed their satisfaction with the renovation.
Nothing made Moira happier than receiving the clients‘ approval, and the day’s shoot was smooth and enjoyable.
The final two episodes featured a showdown between the top two teams from the five groups.
Moira’s work was considered complete. Later on, she heard from her Linda that the winning teams were Wendy and Kyla, along with Lakisha and
Sarah
Linda also mentioned that the show’s wrap party had been canceled. With the backlash against Benton growing louder on X, the director was struggling with how to edit the episodes.
Benton had been their main promotional draw early on, but cutting his scenes left the show lacking key highlights. With everyone in low spirits, the production tram da¶n’t feel like celebrating anymore.
Moara didn’t care much about the party. Her schedule was packed. Since her followers had surged, many people were seeking her designs. Most of them were women, and some were couples.
She had been so busy she hadn’t had time to cook at home. Fortunately, Virgil was understanding. When she was swamped, they would order takeout or he would buy groceries and cook for them.
After sending a design she had worked on for two nights to a client. Moira picked up her coffee and took a sip. Just then, her phone chimed. It was a ication for an intang transfer.
She glawed and froze. There was a string of numbers on the message.
