Almost three months passed. It is just a week before the start of the academic school year.
Zohara mostly spends her time in her home. Live streaming every Monday and lazing around. She also learned how to edit videos and posted some short videos in L-short like a mini vlog. Many entertainment companies and products message her to enter their company and advertise their product with a huge fee but she didn't accept anything. Her fans grew to 7.6 million in L-Line, 5 million in L-Rest and 6 million in L-Videos. She's basically an internet celebrity.
But an internet celebrity is just an internet celebrity, they are mostly looked down upon by an actual artist celebrity but Zohara didn't care about those labels.
The members of her library also grew and as of now, the content was not leaked to anyone. One of her father's workers helped her in creating the online library while she was the one who designed it. That worker also designed a new website for her, to monitor her donations, where the amount from her earnings in the L-Rest was connected and automatically donated to researched charities and orphanages. Zohara doesn't know that worker's name but her father said that it was one of the core IT members of the company and the worker volunteered knowing her cause.
It's Monday and she opened her livestream much earlier. Usually she livestream from 3 hrs from 1pm to 4 pm but today, she opened it by 9AM after eating her breakfast. She didn't create a poll because she already has a plan, which is studying.
"Hello guys, some viewers can leave early, I'll be just studying" Zohara said nonchalantly as she placed a CD in the record player.
"This is a classical cover by me, my father likes my covers a lot so he created a CD for it." She shared and she sat down again in front of the table of the study room.
"Have everyone guessed my major?"
"Yes, it's biology, based on the old curriculum we'll have subjects such as botany and zoology in my 1st year. That's why I told you guys it'll be boring because I'm just going to study."
After a while some viewers left but most of it stayed, 2.5 million viewers watched her study. Some also study with her, some sleep while listening to music, some are working and some are intently watching her study.
After a few hours, Zohara and the viewers woke up from what they were doing because of a knock. Zohara stood and opened the door, it was Auntie Lara.
"Ma'am, your father called, you should not skip meals. The lunch was already prepared."
"Alright, thank you"
She answers back and close the door. She look at the livestream and the clock, it's already 12:30 PM, she didn't noticed the time. The viewers are now only 2 million.
"I'll be taking my lunch, should I pause the livestream?"
"Alright, you can also take a break with me" Zohara answers the comments and carries the gadget and switches to the back camera.
"This is the entirety of my study room. My father also used this when he came from business trips."
:A sudden house tour?! Lucky!
Zohara left the room and what was shown to the camera was the hallway.
"In front of the study room was the art room"
"Yes, I can paint" She answered as left the hallway and went downstairs. She directed her camera to the corner on the way to the living room.
"That's the way in the living room where we watched every Movie Session, across is the dining hall. They prepared enough meals."
Zohara set up her Ipad, she went to the kitchen and watched her hands before sitting in front of the camera.
"Always wash your hands" She uttered with a laugh before eating. She eats silently and answers some questions after swallowing her food.
"Yes, my helper also eats here, they have their own room"
"Live stream while painting? I might not do it for a while, remember, next week is my first week as freshman. So our schedule will change depending on my schedule, I'll also be in the dormitory."
"Based on the University Handbook, freshmen are required to stay in the dorm in their freshman year but can go home every Sunday."
"Yes, Hills Residence and University A is 2hrs drive. I have a condominium near University A."
"My father bought all my properties."
"Daddy's girl?" Zohara uttered and laughed happily and waved her hand "Hi, father, you must be happy seeing that comment."
"We'll probably move our live streaming next week Sunday. I'll just brush my teeth!"
Zohara said and left the livestream running where the can only see the empty plates and behind the table and chair is a huge painting. It is a huge yellow Chrysanthemum and red Peony.
After 15 minutes, Zohara came back and carried the camera to the room again.
"The painting? I painted it, it's my birth flowers."
"No, I would not tell you guys my exact birthday." Zohara answers and laughs.
Around 1:20 PM she resumed her study until 7 PM where she needed to have dinner. The amount of viewers was up and down but it was never less than a million. Now, she's having her dinner, the viewership rose again to 2.8 million.
"The library? Yes, it's not leaked. I also added new notes about editing. I might also add my previous notes in other musical instruments. I'll just add a categorization so the others wouldn't be confused."
"I only have 5 videos in L-videos, I don't have that much content. My other fans already edited my livestream and I like it, so I wouldn't edit myself anymore."
"Fan name?"
"As you all know my real name is Zohara, but all my handles ID are Ohara. You can vote for yourself what'll be my fandom name."
"Let's end this for now, bye-bye"
•
Wednesday morning, Zohara decided to buy some necessities in the mall. She called her father.
"Father!"
"Hmmm?"
"I will shop around for the things needed in my dorm."
"I can write letters to the school board to allow you to stay in the condominium." He answered back worriedly
"It's alright, I also want to try it. Based on the emailed dormitory rooms we have separate bedrooms even though 4 of us are in the dormitory."
"Alright, as long as you want it. Be careful on the road, I'll be home by Friday."
"Hm!"
Zohara exclaimed happily. She took a bath and wore simple jeans and white t-shirt. She gets her sling bag, checks her car keys, cards and cash. Then she wore a cap before leaving the house.
She drove her car, Red HX-8, which was manufactured by HX Company which is owned by Qin Family, in collaboration with Linx. It's a smart car. Her father also used it.
She arrived at the Hills Shopping Mall after 30 minutes and was able to park properly. She's so happy!
She left her car and went inside. Luckily, people don't recognize her or maybe they do but they don't approach her.
Yesterday, University A emailed her class schedule, dormitory room number and passcode. The blueprint of the dormitory room. It's a large space where 4 rooms were divided to, 3 rooms are beside each other and one room was adjacent to it. Then adjacent to that one room was the kitchen. In the middle of the room was divided into 3 sofas and in the side was a table and chair for dining. It was quite crowded. Each room is also not that big, you can just have a bed and a small study table. It feels congested.
So, Zohara wanted to renovate it. She changed the layout based on the blue print. She wanted to adjust the bed into the middle , not the farthest side, then removed the study table and installed a foldable table in the wall. She also changed the drawer into a more efficient one. She also installed a divider where her necessity and figurine can be placed. It's a minimal renovation, so she submitted it to the Dormitory Office. It was given a go, but Zohara needed to shoulder the fee, and she needed to change it back once she was a sophomore.
Zohara roamed around the mall then bought the things she needed.
New bed and pillow sheets, blanket then pillows. She also bought new clothes. In her home, she always wore house clothing such as t-shirts and shorts, they are also branded but the brand can't be seen. That's the same with her other clothing which was bought by her father, half of it are branded , while the other are brands that are well known. She doesn't wear those branded clothing because it's too eye-catching and some designs are just too much. So, she wanted to buy simple clothing, like the one she was wearing for daily use.
She bought random t-shirts and pants. She's more of a pants and t-shirt girl than a skirt and dresses unless there's a special occasion. She'll also visit her condominium once she moves to University A and decide the remaining things she needs to buy.
On L-Line, a random picture of Zohara surfaced on the internet while she was buying in Hills Residence. Most people were complimenting her beauty or describing how intimidating she is. But some questioned her background. If she's really wealthy, why is she buying clothing like that? One post about it dissects her background, assuming she has a sugar daddy, that she must be poor and her donations are scammed. It has 500k replies and 3 million likes.
Her father couldn't delete it because it was too known, and deleting it would only confirm their nonsense theory. Zohara raised her eyebrow while reading the article, she just arrived home. She placates her father and rolls her eyes while typing.
@Ohara
As a journalist in my High School days your articles are quite trashy and people who believe them are idiots.
Is everyone really this gullible? How can you believe an article like this without confirming anything. If you don't jump on any hate bandwagon about me and actually research you might realize it's all fake.
The website for my donation has the charity and orphanage contact numbers. You can call them. Confirm the amount, the name, or even the fact I donated.
Easy as that, pea brains.
If you think those people are also scammers, visit them. Why do I need to prove myself to these kinds of baseless assumptions? Do it yourself, you're the one who can't sleep.
Sugar daddy? That's beyond disgusting and my father is more wealthy than any sugar daddy can exist in this world. Why would I look for one? Does your father don't love you at all? Assuming that no father would buy such things for his daughter? Maybe, your father would not.
But mine would.
I also read that sugar daddies are usually ugly as hell with pot bellies.
No, I'll pass.
I'm a face con.
Even my clothing taste is criticized? Why the hell do you care? Is there a law that people with money can't buy unbranded clothes? I bought them because they are simple and comfortable. Do I need to wear those luxurious things just to prove I have money?
No.
Because you're a social climber and always wore branded clothes doesn't mean I should too.
I rest my case, bash me if you want, you gullible pea brains.
As for that idiotic article, wait for my lawyer, your writing might improve behind bars.

:It's understandable to be called a pea brain by the N.E. . I rest my case.
A.A.: Read this article (link) this is an interview of the orphanage and charities where @Ohara donated.
Lady Rose: Oh Mr. Reporter!
Zohara calls her father.
"Father! Don't worry anymore I can fight" She said while laughing.
"I know, I just see too many hate comments about you. Even if it's not the truth, it still can affect you." Her father said worriedly
"No father, these things can't affect me, as long as I have a father." She giggle
"I already called Lawyer Kim, he'll handle the clean up. Rest early, don't worry about this thing anymore, the staff can now manage it."
"You too father, I know you're busy. Remember to rest."

"What's with your brother?" Sienna Erlx asked the wife of Silas Erlx, the head of the Erlx Family.
In the dining hall of the Erlx Mansion, sitting at the head seat was the previous Chairman Seth Erlx, beside him was his son Silas and across his son was his daughter in law Sienna. Then its Sern, the second son, beside Silas was his first born son Sage, and beside Sage was Soren who angrily typing something in his phone.
Beside Soren was Viren who wanted to face palm and across him was his sister Vierra.
Viren still felt intimidated in front of the entire Erlx Family. They are one of the wealthiest families in the world and thrive on research and development. Their family owned countless A Hospitals and University A. Their family thrived in education.
The eldest son, Sage, at the age of 25 became a neurosurgeon and became a well sought neurosurgeon across the globe. He's now 32 and has a fiancee who is also a cardiologist.
Then, Sern, he's now 28 years old and current lab head of genomic laboratory, researching gene editing for crops and other products to increase the yield.
The last son was Soren, he's different, since young he didn't like studying like his older brothers. He loves playing around and even skipping school. The elders of the family couldn't do anything about him, because he's like a ball of sunshine and he can't be reprimanded. They all reason out that since the two older sons already prove and will inherit the Family, Soren can just play around.
They did not expect that he would pass N.E., when he passed the threshold, the family celebrated it big time, more than when Sage became a neurosergeon. That's how spoiled Soren was.
Sern didn't answer her mother's question and just looked at Viren. It was always like, as Soren's friend since kindergarten, he became his baby sitter and one of the few people who knows Soren deeply and can control him. That's also the reason why they let Vierra became Sern's fiancee even their wealth was not 1/10 of the Erlx, because their family is obedient and Vierra always knows her place. She's also working in Sern's lab.
"Zohara…hmmm" Viren didn't know what to say, should he say Soren's crush or idol?!
Luckily, Soren stops typing and sighs angrily.
"These people keep judging Zohara like idiots!"
"Soren! your language" Sienna reprimand helplessly
"Sorry hehe"
"Who's Zohara?" Sienna further asked
"She's my love!"
Viren closes his eyes and looks at the ceiling. Seth, Silas and Sienna were filled with shocked expressions. This is the first time Soren became interested in a girl!
"Explain" Seth said as he cough
"Grandpa, what's there to explain! I like her, no, I might love her. Zohara was really beautiful and smart. She scored 729 in N.E. and will study Biology in our University A! I fell in love with her the moment she insulted those haters!"
All the people who heard it closed their eyes and sigh.
You must just say you fall in love with her because of her face and mind, why when she insulted someone?!
They all thought
It took a minute before the silence was broken.
"She scored 729? She's really smart." Seth complimented
"Yes, she's also the reason why I passed the N.E.! I review her notes and magically I understand everything. Even brother Sern complimented it!"
Now, that's what shocks the elders
They all look at Sern.
"Her notes are clean." He simply said
"Right! Because she's bored she started livestreaming and 70% of her earnings in her livestream are donated to charity and orphanages! Isn't she an angel?"
"So, why are you angry earlier?" Sienna asked
"Some people wrote an article about how she has a sugar daddy and scammed the donations. Those people don't know anything! I was really fighting against them earlier and my blood boils! Thankfully, Zohara released her statement. Let me read it-"
"No, don-" Silas
Soren didn't care about his father and just read Zohara's post with emotions. The Erlx Family didn't have a choice but to listen together with the brother and sister duo.
Sage chuckle was heard across the dining hall.
"She's good! right?!" Soren asked excitedly to his eldest brother.
Sage returned to his usual stoic face and just nodded.
"She's amazing" Sienna also complimented because she cant never say those words. Basically, it's quite vulgar.
"This is her mom! Do you think she will like me if I court her?" Soren asked happily but with a hint of low confidence and showed his lock screen. It was a picture of Zohara when she was studying.
Sienna raised her eyebrow, that child is beautiful. She wanted to say yes but…
"It depends darling, you said she's smart, maybe she only likes smart people too. She's also this beautiful and talented, many people must be courting her and probably the least requirement is good grades. Because think about this, can you answer or talk around her with the same topic with her level of intelligence?* Sienna said calmly, the members of the family raised their eyebrows. They all think Sienna is smart.
"Right, I couldn't even enter her library, I don't know who owned the code! It must be circulated among smart people." He grimaced "Mom, Dad and Grandpa, we have a deal before that you can grant me a wish if I pass the N.E. right?" Soren said seriously
"Yes" Silas nod
"Then, my N.E. even passing was not enough to enter a major department. I want to change my major to Biology!" He uttered seriously
For the elders, it's not even a wish, maybe, it's their wish. To push Soren to Biology or any related field of the Erlx, but Soren didn't like it so they didn't. Now, he wishes for it. They are more than happy!
"Alright, you needed to study hard. If you fail even one subject, you'll return to your previous Major." Seth said seriously
"Yes, grandpa" Soren answered seriously.
Sern looks at his younger brother who willingly walks to the trap. Sage, Vierra and Viren also look away. Well, as long as Soren is happy.

On the other side, Zan, Gias and Leox were meeting with one another in a private room of HQ, which is a luxurious bar owned by Hill.
Leox was absorbed reading various articles about Zohara and laughed seeing Zohara's reply. He already knows that she can fight, but reading her new statement. He realized that she's really good at insulting someone.
"So happy? new girl?" Gias asked with a hint of teasing
"I would be behind bars, I just saw an interesting girl." He answers and closes his phone before focusing on the conversation.
