Taking this advice to heart, Sabrina made her decision.

Having settled on the people and nature theme, she spent a moment reflecting and opted for Blay's photography course.

She signed up through Facebook and was swiftly added to a dedicated group by his aide, eagerly anticipating the kick-off of classes by month's end.

Before the Live sessions began, a series of foundational videos were up for grabs. Sabrina browsed through, deducing they were all beginner-level.

The Facebook group was abuzz with chatter. She caught a glimpse of one comment. "Didn't Blay once offer face-to-face lessons at Violetholt?

Why are all the classes online this time?"

Another student chimed in, "I had the exact same question. I had prepared to attend the classes in person, thinking it would keep me more focused, But out of the blue, he switched to online classes!"

“Well, Learn more seriously? Come on, just admit it! You're just interested in Blay!"

“You got me! But can you blame me? He's so handsome. If only he'd model naked for my photos..."

“How much wine did you drink?"

The young assistant explained, "The reason for canceling the in-person classes this time is that Blay has some personal matters to attend to and will be away from Violetholt for a while. But no need to fret.

In-person classes will likely resume at a later time."

“Okay.”

“Not to brag, but I've got a picture with Blay,” said a senior student.

“During our last in-person class, I was so starstruck, I barely concentrated. This time, I'll definitely study hard."

"Send it out quickly.”

True to her word, the senior student posted her photo with Blay. Her face? Masked with a quirky cat emoji. But Blay? Clear as day.

Sabrina tapped on the image, eyebrows Lifting in surprise. Even without anyone pointing it out, the man was strikingly attractive, blessed with impeccable facial structure.

Yet, for some reason, Sabrina had a sense of familiarity when she looked at him, like she had encountered him before. She sifted through her memories but couldn't pinpoint where she might have seen him.

Bun jumped onto the bed and rubbed against Sabrina.
