Chapter 803

Chapter 803:

“There’s no rush. We’ll go to Zenithium first,” Cristian said with finality.

Amory, not one to question his boss’s orders, immediately set about booking the tickets.

The new semester began, and Fernanda found herself overwhelmed with coursework. Her schedule was packed, except for Tuesday afternoons.

In contrast, Neal and the others had a lighter workload.

On the weekend, they gathered at the studio. Bonita was there too. The gauze on her face had been removed, though there was still some bruising, so she wore a mask.

Neal was live-streaming at the time, so Bonita sat on the sofa and watched his stream on her phone, sending him virtual gifts to boost his popularity.

Levi threw up his hands and said, “Seriously, you two? What’s the point of sending him virtual gifts, Bonita? Why not just give them to him in person? You know the platform takes a cut of it.”

Levi couldn’t understand the thought process of these two. He had been shocked when he learned that Bonita was Neal’s girlfriend. What was going on?

The two of them seemed like strangers in public but were actually deeply in love in private.

Did young people nowadays prefer to keep their relationships secret? Despite his surprise, he also felt a sense of relief. They had all known Bonita for a while now, and at least they knew Neal wouldn’t be played by some gold digger.

Bonita glanced at the screen, then smiled and said, “It’s not the same thing. It’s about boosting his ranking. Every superchat bumps him higher in the recommendations.”

Levi shook his head. “I don’t really understand your way of thinking. It feels like we live in different worlds.”

Bonita was financially stable. She had a substantial amount of savings, and in the past six months, her pocket money had doubled. Myron had advised her not to be stingy when interacting with Fernanda and the others. He said she needed to be generous to maintain a good relationship with them.

However, Bonita disagreed with Myron’s advice, even though she accepted her father’s money.

While watching Neal play a game, her screen went black before switching to the incoming call interface. Bonita frowned and immediately hung up the phone.

After a moment, her phone rang again.

Bonita took a deep breath, put her phone on airplane mode, connected to Wi-Fi, and resumed watching the live stream. She had done this countless times before. She had turned off airplane mode earlier because she had ordered drinks for everyone and forgot to switch it back on after the delivery had arrived.

Sloane had been watching Bonita the entire time. She laughed and asked, “Who’s calling you, Bonita? Why don’t you pick up?” Her voice was deliberately loud, hoping Neal would hear her. Sure enough, Neal heard and turned slightly toward them as he live-streamed.

Bonita pinched Sloane’s waist and whispered, “Stop.”

Sloane ignored her and continued, “I couldn’t help but notice you rejected calls a few times. Is it your suitor calling?”

“No,” Bonita replied with a bitter laugh.
