She almost kissed him on the forehead because she was caught off guard. Luckily for her, she was still able to barely dodge.

Maria tried to struggle and free herself from Anthony, but she found that it was hard for her to do so because of their current position.

No matter how she moved, it was inevitable for her to have more intimate contact with him. She could only get free if Anthony loosened his arm around her waist.

At this time, his Lips was very close to her cheek.

“Do you not see me as a man?"

Hearing this, Maria felt her heart skip a beat. What exactly did he mean by that? What was he thinking right now?

Seeing her anxious expression, Anthony grinned and said softly, “You have just been bullied by others. Why didn't you tell me? Am I that useless in your eyes? Do you think I can't help you with this matter?" Of course not!

This wasn't what she was thinking.

She just thought that it wasn't such a big deal and that it could be solved easily even without his intervention.

She just didn't want to bother him with such petty things. She believed she could perfectly take care of it without any problem.

“Well... I just don't want to cause you any trouble..." Maria said ina low voice, not able to Look him in the eye.

“Why would you even think that? You know what the real troublesome thing is? As my fiancee, you don't seem to realize that you should tell me everything and ask for my help."

Maria swallowed hard. "Sorry, I was wrong. It won't happen again.”

Her mind was in such a mess that she didn't know why she actually apologized.

In fact, what Anthony said was very unreasonable because their engagement was just supposed to be a fake one. Therefore, there was no need for actual accountability from each other.

However, her gut told her that if she didn't listen to him now, she might soon regret it.

After all, Anthony was sometimes very childish. He was inexplicably narrow-minded and vindictive on certain things.

“Anthony... Hmm... Can you help me take care of it?"

Maria said in a much softer tone that was clearly very different from before.

She blushed hard, not expecting that she would compromise and ask for his help while being in such an intimate position with him.

“Okay, I'll get started." Hearing what Maria said, Anthony finally nodded. His smile this time was filled with satisfaction.

ALL over the Internet, people were discussing Maria quitting the show.

“I don't know who this Maria woman is, some artist who just made her debut? It‘s a pity since she’s really beautiful. Why would she lie about being a straight-A student?"

"She got a zero in all her subjects? Never could've guessed that someone who's bad at studying is also bad at lying.”
