Marcus ended the call after speaking only a few words. His expression remained calm, but there was a quiet determination in his eyes. Whatever he had discussed with the person on the other end, he clearly had no intention of telling Julia about it yet.

He slipped his phone back into his pocket, took a slow breath, and returned to the apartment.

The rich aroma of freshly cooked food immediately greeted him.

Julia had already set two simple plates on the small dining table. There was nothing luxurious about the meal- just fried rice, vegetables, and grilled chicken-but she had prepared it with care.

After that, they have some light conversations. and then, they simply slept peacefully together, not intimate.

The next morning, sunlight streamed through the apartment windows.

Julia woke first.

She stretched lazily before glancing toward Marcus, who was still asleep on the floor.

A small smile appeared on her face.

Careful not to wake him, she quietly freshened up, changed into comfortable clothes, and prepared herself for her morning online lecture.

Teaching online had become one of her side hustles over the past days. The income wasn’t much, but it helped cover groceries and a portion of the rent. Every little bit mattered.

She placed her laptop on the table, adjusted the webcam, and reached for the power button.

Ding… Ding…

The sudden sound of the doorbell echoed through the apartment.

Julia frowned.

“I’m not expecting anyone.”

She glanced at Marcus, who remained asleep, then walked toward the entrance.

Opening the door, she found two tall men standing outside.

Both wore perfectly tailored black suits with white gloves. Their polished shoes gleamed under the morning sunlight, and each carried himself with military-like discipline.

Julia blinked in surprise.

“Can I help you?”

One of the men spoke respectfully.

“Good morning. Are you Ms. Julia?”

She hesitated before nodding. “Yes… that’s me.”

The second man gave a polite bow. “Wonderful. We’ve been looking for you.”

Julia’s confusion deepened.

“I… hope nothing is wrong?”

The two men exchanged a brief glance.Then the first man spoke. “We are representatives of the Senate President.”

Julia’s eyes widened instantly. “The… Senate President?”

Her heartbeat quickened, her mind raced through countless possibilities. Had she accidentally broken some law?

She swallowed hard. “W-What did I do?” she asked nervously. “Did something happen?”

The two men immediately shook their heads.

“No, Ms. Julia,” one of them replied with a reassuring smile. “You’ve done nothing wrong.”

“On the contrary,” the other added respectfully, “the Senate President has specifically wanted to appreciate you

Julia stared at them in complete disbelief.

“The Senate President… wants to appreciate me?”.

The two men nodded in unison.

“Yes, Ms. Julia,” the older of the two replied with a warm smile. “He wishes to thank you personally.”

Julia looked from one man to the other, convinced there had to be some mistake.

“I don’t understand,” she admitted honestly. “I’m just an ordinary person. Why would someone as important as the Senate President even know who I am?”

The second man chuckled softly before answering. “May we ask you a question instead? Do you own the YouTube educational channel called Future bright Academy?”

Julia blinked.

“Y-Yes,” she answered slowly. “I do.”

The two men smiled wider.

“Then there is no mistake.”

Julia’s confusion only deepened.

The older man folded his gloved hands neatly before him.

“A few days ago, the Senate President’s daughter came across one of your mathematics tutorials while preparing for an important examination. She found your explanations remarkably simple and engaging. According to her, concepts she had struggled with for weeks suddenly became clear after watching your videos.”

The younger man continued, “She didn’t stop at one video. She spent several days watching your lessons, from mathematics to physics and chemistry. She even recommended your channel to her classmates. She repeatedly told her father how much your teaching had helped her regain confidence.”

Julia could only stare.

The older man smiled. “The Senate President was curious, so he watched some of your lessons himself. He was deeply impressed-not only by the quality of your teaching but by your dedication. He learned that despite your own financial struggles, you continue creating free educational content to help thousands of students across the

Julia felt her cheeks grow warm hearing the praises.

A gentle smile spread across her face.

“Thank you,” she said sincerely. “That means more to me than you can imagine. Hearing that someone was actually helped by her lecture was filled with joy” She placed a hand over her chest and laughed softly. “Honestly, that’s already enough reward for me.”
