My Boss, My Ex, and Our Crazy Love Triangle

A bottom-tier, struggling writer like me? Of course, I’m going to lose my mind! I’m just holding on for dear life! Honey Xavier, I’m sorry! Mom needs to use you as a stepping stone!

Meanwhile, I saw a new private message from Lydia: "Stop pretending! You, a motherless girl, changing your ways to seduce Xavier at every turn! You’re shameless!"

I quickly replied to her, “Shut up. The only name on your family register is yours! Stop with the petty jealousy!” and continued my stream, stirring the pot.

But deep down, I was plotting: You’re the one who’s going to help dig this hole for me, Lydia san~

As the first day of the live stream was coming to a close, and my audience hadn’t even broken a million yet, Xavier sent me a Facebook message: "Selena, just admit defeat."

Oh? Thanks, but no thanks!

Watch me pull off a dramatic twist and turn everything around!

I smirked, my red lips parting in a sultry smile.

"Hey, babes in the chat, who wants to see me steal Mr. Cool Xavier’s personal thermal underwear from Asteria City? Drop a 6 in the comments so I can see how many of you are up for it. Once we hit enough, I’ll drop the link at three, two, one, okay?"

The chat exploded.

It was nothing but 6s, 66s, 666s, and 6666s.

I imagined Xavier’s face darkening, and I laughed as I said my goodbyes to my viewers.

"Alright, I can already feel the excitement about Mr. Sterling’s thermal underwear. I wonder if the cool guy wears them at all. Tune in tomorrow for the live stream, and we’ll all find out together. Don’t miss it!"

As the stream ended, curious onlookers flooded my inbox, but I only replied to Lydia.

Lydia: "Selena Vance, you crazy woman! Using the topic of stealing Xavier's personal clothing to get attention? Do you even know what kind of relationship you have with him?"

I replied: "What kind of relationship do I have with my husband? Sorry, but yes, we've slept together."

Lydia: "???"

The goal of annoying her was achieved. I didn’t want to deal with her anymore, so I blocked her.

Two birds, no, three birds with one stone! Sweet!

Not long after, I saw a trending topic with both Xavier and my name.

#A Vance woman plans to steal a well-known CEO’s personal underwear

#Selena Vance claims Xavier is her husband and threatens to raid him tonight

#Shameless streamer previews using Mr. Sterling’s thermal underwear for her own pleasure

...

And more chaos like that.

Wait, what is this nonsense??

It’s thermal underwear, not personal underpants! I’m stealing thermal underwear, not planning on using it for that!

But... thinking about it, Xavier is pretty handsome. If I did raid him tonight, it wouldn’t be the worst thing.

I adopted the "subway, old lady, phone" pose and scrolled through Instagram. Finally, I understood how ridiculous Instagram’s trending topics could get.

It’s absolutely off the rails! Shameful news, get out of here! Shameless media, crawl away!

But, at least my goal of gaining attention had been achieved. I was going to win this battle, or else... I wouldn’t be able to face the world and my blood-sucking mom.

The next day, thanks to Lydia’s preheat, a wave of viewers flooded into my stream, and my popularity skyrocketed.

Then... my page crashed.

This couldn’t be happening! Today was the day to turn in my homework; I couldn’t fail!

The live channel was under maintenance, so I had no choice but to call 004.

"004, can you fix my crashed stream?"

"Beg me."
