Who’s the Dog Now? novel Chapter 66

It wasn't that they found her actions aggressive, but rather that everyone had always seen Naomi as a quiet, gentle girl, so her bold behavior was a shock.

Anyone who talked about Naomi would bring up the stories of how she’d thrown away all her pride for Zebulon.

Lately, people had been wondering why they hadn't been seen together. Now, seeing Tiffany and Zebulon's public display of affection, it all clicked: Naomi and Zebulon were officially over.

Before, most people had looked down on Naomi. A girl who acted like a doormat was always seen as both pitiful and pathetic. But now that she had let go so cleanly, she was surprisingly gaining a lot of support.

[I’m officially becoming a Naomi fan. She’s so bold! When she liked him, she didn't care what anyone thought and went for it. Now that he has a girlfriend, she's backing off gracefully. Total respect. What a queen!]

[Finally, someone said it! I always thought the hate for Naomi was so weird. Zebulon was single, she was single, so what’s wrong with her pursuing him? I don't get why people were so vicious. ‘That intense girl’? Give me a break.]

When Patricia saw that Naomi’s reputation was finally turning around on the forum, she was ecstatic.

“This is a double victory! Your reputation was the only reason you never got voted for campus queen or as the host for all those events. In my opinion, those things should have been yours all along. Leaving Zebulon was the best decision you ever made. Look at you now—you’ve got a job, your reputation is soaring! You're an independent princess!”

Naomi’s eyes welled up.

She knew that back when the forum was full of hate, it was Patricia who stayed up all night, using burner accounts to fight back. But at the time, hating on her was the popular thing to do, and no matter how much Patricia argued, the trolls were relentless.

If the university hadn't stepped in, her reputation would have been ruined.

Naomi hadn't expected public opinion to shift so quickly, but honestly, she didn't care anymore.

She and Patricia had planned to go to the library that afternoon, so instead of going out, they decided to grab some pasta at Cafeteria 8.

They had just ordered when Naomi saw Zebulon striding toward them, dragging a sobbing Tiffany by the hand.
