Chapter 46：A Week

That day, Carolina spent her day searching for photos that were spread, in contrast to posts that would appear only with keywords, finding photos were much more difficult and she hadn't upgraded Yui's feature for photo search.

Since the search was time consuming and more difficult than Carolina thought, she decided to only look for photos with her face or those that had been blurred, for photos of the red apple, she decided to pass it.

Well, if the red apple wants the photo to disappear too. He had to pay for her services. There is no way that she provides her services for free!

After doing her job and upgrading Yui to be able to automatically delete if the keywords about Ethan and NamTech appear or someone uploads a photo of her again.

Carolina glanced at the clock on her laptop screen, 2:00 AM.

She was so exhausted and hungry, the bread with peanut butter that she ate for dinner was not enough to fill her stomach, which since noon had only eaten mixed vegetables with the peanut sauce.

But considering she had to arrive at the NamTech office at 8 am tomorrow for her internship, Carolina decided to go to bed soon.

What was done by Carolina immediately shocked the netizens and became a hot conversation. All posts about Nam Ethan and NamTech just disappeared. As if it never existed. And if they wanted to post Ethan's and NamTech's names, in just a few seconds, the post would disappear instantly. It doesn't matter if they have changed their account password.

And what's even more horrendous, there are several accounts claiming that the photos of Ethan and the Smart University students that they stored on their computers or cellphones were hacked.

The incident made netizens suspect that this was NamTech's doing. There are some who complain because NamTech has crossed the line for hacking their accounts, but there are also those who are amazed because NamTech's abilities are really extraordinary and proud that in Indonesia there is a company or hacker that is capable of doing something like that.

The name NamTech has once again become a trending topic and netizens finally realized that as long as they don't post Ethan's name and NamTech's name, their posts won't be deleted.

When Agung asked Ethan what they should do, Ethan just said to let it go. If anyone wants to sue for hacking them, they have absolutely no evidence.

"Well, let's just say the NamTech company is being promoted. If our company image can be that great, won't consumers come to use our services? Because I think the security created by the NamTech company is great," Ethan replied at the time.

Agung finally complied, and as Ethan said, a few days after the name NamTech appeared, many wanted to use the services of the NamTech company.

There is even a celebrity who secretly came to NamTech's office to use their services, but it turned out that the service he meant was the service used by NamTech to erase Ethan and NamTech's tracks on social media. He wants services to erase the digital footprint of the scandals he committed in the past and is prepared to pay a heavy price.

But NamTech refused, after all, they do not provide such a service and cannot afford to do so.

The internship life wasn't as bad as Carolina thought, although she was told several times to buy at BetaMart, the second day since she came in, Andi started talking to her and asking if she could help with a project that was nearing the deadline.

Carolina, who doesn't want to just sit there like the first day, accepts Andi's questions and occasionally tries to act stupid by asking how to do the functions she has to do. And unlike Carolina's expectation that Andi would ignore her, Andi patiently told Carolina what to do though after that, Andi returned to being cold.

What Carolina did for the next few days, Carolina was basically just repeating what she did the day before. She came to NamTech to do her internship, after coming home she did the job Ethan asked her to do.

On Fridays, she came to campus for class and when class ended, Clara called Carolina for a one-on-one talk to ask if Carolina had managed to get Ethan's autograph.

Carolina later said she couldn't get it yet, but she would work on it. Clara just nodded understandingly then approached Riko and Dion who seemed to be waiting for them while Vera and Andrew had already gone to the cafeteria.

After they were together, Riko asked what happened and Clara told her and as usual, Riko again mocked Clara as a plastic fan and told Carolina to ignore Clara's request. Clara, who doesn't accept her bias being bad-mouthed, explains that Ethan's face is real and they continue to argue on the way to the cafeteria.

Dion, who had seen Carolina for the first time since they had returned from Bali, asked how Carolina was doing and chatted with her. Carolina, who was quite close to Dion, answered chatting with him.

For the weekend, as usual Carolina just stayed in her boarding house, Andrew and Dion had invited her to go out on a weekend night, but Carolina refused both of them. She has to do the assignments given by Andi and intends to complete them, to build the image of a diligent intern.

While the work given by the red apple, Carolina has completed it since Thursday, but she deliberately didn't send it right away, later the red apple would get into the habit of telling her to do the next task she was given quickly.

Ethan just goes about his normal life, to the set of My Wife's Man, to his agency office if he doesn't have a schedule to shoot My Wife's Man and makes time to go to the gym to work out for a few hours. After the evening, he read the company documents at his house.

Ara always comes to the set scheduled for Wednesday and Thursday to ask him out for a meal, but according to Mi Sun's instructions, Ethan makes up an excuse to turn her down. Ara didn't give up and on Saturday, she came with lunch for the My Wife's Man crew.

"This bitch is really sneaky!" Mi Sun thought when she saw Ara coming with food for the crew too.

Now there's no reason for Ethan or Mi Sun to tell Ara to leave. After taking her food, Mi Sun immediately gathers with the other managers to eat together, but before that, she had to remind Ethan to be careful and introduce Ara as a celebgram, not the daughter of her agency's shareholders. It would seem strange to her to go along with Ethan and Ara.

Some of the crew who had seen Ara who came before received the food with a smile, while those who saw Ara for the first time wondered about the woman's identity.

Ethan finally accompanies Ara and introduces Ara to them as a celebgram, as Mi Sun said..

"Oh~ Ethan~ Have you passed your contract date for dating? You actually brought a woman here," teased one of the actors when he took the food Ara gave him, he was the main character.

"Yeah, it's our 100-day anniversary celebration," said Ara then hooked her hand on Ethan's arm.

"Hahaha, thanks for the food," said the actor and then left. After the actor left, Ethan immediately let go of Ara's hand and pulled her to a quiet place. He deliberately didn't do it in front of his seniors because he didn't want to embarrass Ara.

"Ara! What the hell were you doing earlier!" said Ethan when there was no one around them.

"What? Oh, I was just kidding. Why oppa overreacting?" asked Ara.

"What if there are rumors that arise between the two of us?! Aren't you a celeb gram? Aren't you worried about getting gossiped?"

"What is the problem? Oppa was an actor who won an award last year and now this drama with a not very good script is getting high ratings because of oppa's appearance. So I think, it's okay to have gossiped with oppa. Because oppa is a capable person, different from the others," said Ara.

"You know the agency will be in trouble if we are both exposed to gossip? My contract not to be subject to a dating scandal is still valid!" Ethan still remembers that Ha Joon warned him not to get caught by the paparazzi while out with Ara.

""Then, we really shouldn't be exposed to gossip..."

"Thank goodness you understand," said Ethan when he heard Ara's words, but Ara's next words took Ethan by surprise.

"Would you like to date me?"
