💮💮💮

Seline sighed heavily, putting her cheeks on the table while looking at the mango tree that was beginning to flower next to the classroom.

"You don't seem so excited, Seline." A girl approached Seline. That girl, she was the girl who at that time said that Seline was called by the homeroom. Every day, this was the second time he spoke to Seline.

Seline straightened her body, "you are..."

"My name is Dita" replied the girl who turned out to be named Dita. He lowered his head, as Seline stared at him.

"Alright, Dita. Is my face so unsightly that you'd rather stare at the floor?" syndicate Seline.

Seline disliked it the most, if her interlocutor didn't look her in the eye, because Seline thought it was the same as not appreciating it.

Dita nervously immediately raised her face, and flicked both of her hands, "no. That's not true" said the glasses girl.

He looked back down after that, as if that was his trademark. "I didn't mean it that way, it's just. I'm not used to dealing with someone" he added.

The whispers of the other girls started to sound, they were busy talking about Seline and Dita.

"Hey, look, the fool and the nerd are making friends, do you think that fool thinks he'll be smart if he's friends with the ugly nerd?"

"Hey, lower your voice! They'll hear it, you know."

That was how they were talking about, they looked at Seline and Dita with a look of disdain.

"Truly upsetting," how did Seline. Thought the words were directed at her, she apologized to Seline and was about to run away, but Seline quickly caught Dita's hand.

"Let's find a place to chat, this place is no longer safe. We'll catch the virus of stupidity if we stay with them."

The people who heard Seline's sarcastic words, immediately approached her with emotion.

"Just because you have a pretty face, you call us fools?" shouted one of Seline's classmates.

"How dare you! You think you're beautiful you can act so cocky" said one of Seline's friends with shoulder-length hair.

Seline smiled dismissively, "Is it wrong? I have a beautiful face and she is a smart person. Are you so underworked that you're so envious of my pretty face?"

Seline pulls Dita's hand, leads her to find a better place and ignores the cries of her classmates.

"A part-time job?" ask Dita back.

Seline nodded enthusiastically, "can you help me get a part-time job?"

"Sorry Seline, for this I can't help you," she replied, leaving Seline's smile fading away instantly.

"But why do you want to work so much? Aren't you short of money?"

"I'm learning to be independent" Seline replied. He turned his brain back, looking for a way to make money.

"What do you think of online business?"

"Eh, online business, do you want to open an online business. What do you want to sell?"

Seline smiled, "maybe some low-level beauty products," she replied origin, which made Dita surprised instead of playing.

Seline held Dita's hand, convincing the girl that she was really very serious. "The beauty product I sell is my teacher's product. You take it easy, there are no side effects of beauty products."

"But, how do you prove it?"

Seline smiled meaningfully, her gaze could not be separated from Dita. "How about we start with you" he said.

***

Seline proficiently, mix some traditional medicinal plants that will be used to make a beauty mask.

After a while, the mask was ready for use.  Seline picks up her phone and starts broadcasting live on an app.

After feeling the live broadcast was ready, Seline immediately approached Dita who was ready in front of the camera. Seline started promoting about her product and its function.

Seline took off Dita's glasses and began applying mask cream to her face.

A cool sensation was felt as the cream began to touch his skin. After finishing applying it all over Dita's face, Seline asked him to wait 15 minutes until the mask was ready to be removed.

After 15 minutes, the beauty mask made by Seline is ready to be released. Dita's face feels more moist and supple. His skin also became brighter than usual.

Dita looked very satisfied and fascinated with the result. "Wow, is this really real?" dita asked as she looked at her face in the glass.

After nearly 45 minutes, Seline closed her live broadcast. There are some who order Seline beauty products and there are also those who mock that it is just a scam.

"I didn't know you had so many followers?" dita asked, she was quite surprised because there were so many fans from Seline's social media account. In fact, Seline is hated by many people.

Seline chuckled, "you know that I was engaged to Bhishma, didn't you? They follow my social media accounts just to find out what I'm doing. They did that, to find my fault, so that our engagement would be annulled" Seline explained.

"Your life seems very heavy, Seline," said Dita concerned.

"No problem. That's why I can be strong. Maybe I should thank them?" Seline put her hand on her chin as if she was thinking, making Dita laugh.

"I can finally make you laugh."

"Eh, I didn't mean that... I better get home soon...." Being hurriedly tidied up her things, just as she was about to put her glasses back on, Seline stopped her.

"You know, you'd look really pretty without glasses" she said, which made both of Dita's cheeks turn red.

"Thank you for helping me today. As a gift, I'll give you my product for free." Seline gave up one cream mask to Dita.

"Don't forget, to promote my product to people" he whispered later.

Seline stretched her muscles, after packing her customer's ordered items, she also decided to go to the nearest supermarket.

The area of Seline's house is quite quiet, there are so many quiet alleys that connect it to the big road.

While passing through a dark alley, Seline overhears the voices of several people. Seline, who did not want to get into trouble, hid behind the trash. Listen in silence, what some people are talking about.

"Blognal! Where'd she go?"

"Boss would be so mad if we didn't find that guy."

"Have you forgotten, he's been hurt really badly. I'm sure he won't last long, let's just report that we killed him."

After a while, there was the sound of footsteps walking away. Feeling safe, Seline came out of hiding and was about to return home.

However, when he was about to get to the contract, he instead saw a man lying full of blood in a narrow alley some distance from the place.

"What else now?"
