Chapter 34: I’m a Fan
** Harper **
The entire evening felt unreal, from the unmistakably romantic dinner to the sensual upgrade of their "lessons". Harper wasn't quite sure what to think of it. But at the very least, as unexpected as the "massage" had turned out, it really did help to purge all the stress and tension from her body, and she managed to relax at last into the feeling of a weekend evening.
She capped it off with a restful night of sleep and plenty more dreams that she wouldn't tell anyone about. When she woke up to a sunny Sunday, she felt like she had gobbled down a whole bottle of elixir, more than what she needed to regain the energy to get back to her long-neglected web novel.
It really wasn't her style to ghost her readers for an entire week. As much as she had tried to keep everyone updated on her schedule through comments, she felt terrible for making them wait so long for the next Chapter. Especially when the previous one had stopped right in the middle of a climax scene — pun intended. As she logged in and clicked on the new notifications from last night, she silently whispered another apology and hoped that whoever commented back didn't hate her for the delay.
[ Dear Author! I just found your book today and inhaled all of your Chapters. You're such a great writer and I love this story so much! Pleeeease keep posting!!! ]
Harper caught her breath. Someone was telling her that she was a great writer? Really??
[ Author san, hope your work situation is getting better now that it's weekend! It's important to take care of yourself <3 But of course, whenever you have the time again, just don't forget that you've left us dying here in blistering heat! ]
She chuckled at that one. Her readers were so cute. How was she so lucky to have garnered the affection of such lovely angels?
The warm and reassuring comments made her more motivated than ever. She could already feel her brain whirring to life at the encouraging words, her creativity buzzing in refreshed excitement. She smiled to herself and got to work.
