Jessica jabbed him lightly with her elbow. “You think I’ll stop being mad just because you said so?”
Brian chuckled, “Then punish me. I’ll take whatever you give.” His warm breath brushed against her ear,
making her jerk away instinctively.
“Stop causing trouble,” she huffed.
She thought, ‘Am I the kind of person who throws tantrums over tiny things? Of course not!’
“I mean it,” Brian chuckled. “I’m more than happy to be your stress relief.”
Jessica dragged him toward the car as she spotted passersby pulling out their phones. “Let’s go before we become a spectacle.”
Brian let her pull him along, his gaze lingering on her hand wrapped around his wrist. His eyes filled with
contentment.
Once inside the car, Jessica checked her phone and groaned. Their restaurant outing was already trending.
She scrolled through the comments: [Look at these pictures. Ms. Grant and Mr. Atkinson were feeding each
other! So sweet!]
[Are they officially back together now?]
[That look they shared. Pure love.]
[The way they kept looking at each other was full of love. They’re definitely back together.]
[Maybe they already remarried and just haven’t announced it yet.]
[Brissica is finally back.]
[I can finally send the gift I prepared.]
[Don’t bother. They stopped accepting falls
[Wait, really?]
[Ms. Grant nearly had a miscarriage, Someone sent her poisoned food before. That’s why they reject all gifts now.]
[Who did that? I brought Ms. Grant local snacks from my hometown last week.]
[That mistress. Honestly, I’d suggest you just eat those specialties yourself and not cause any trouble for Ms. Grant.]

[Yeah, if you want to share, maybe just post about it online.]
[That’s what I do now. And if you see them in public, don’t crowd them.]

[Ms. Grant is already in her third trimester. If someone pushes too close and another accident happens, we’re all guilty.]
[No kidding. I keep my distance when I spot them.]
[I saw Mr. Atkinson shopping with her last month. I wanted to say hello but finally gave up. She doesn’t
know me. What if I scared her?]
[Same here! Once I spotted them at a street market–totally random. How’d they even find that place? They
looked so out of there.]
[Did you greet them?]
[Hell no. Too crowded. Not worth the risk.]
[Good call. They’re not celebrities. We shouldn’t be bothering them like that.]
[But why were they there?]
[What for? Obviously because Ms. Grant was curious, and Mr. Atkinson came along to keep her company.]
[Makes sense. By the way, did you take any pictures? I haven’t seen any photo sets of them at the market
yet.]
[Posted on my page! Ms. Grant bought so much cheap, tasty food. Shout–out to my family’s stall. Address here!]
[So that’s your real motive? Anyway, thanks for the recommendation.]
[Ms. Grant–approved snacks? I’ll try them.]
[Anyone nearby? Let’s organize a group trip.]
[I can’t make it to Hartdale anytime soon. Anybody willing to make a proxy purchase for me? I’ll pay a service fee.]
[Me! Check out my homepage. I offer full proxy services–buying, shipping, even taking custom photos.]
Jessica rubbed her temples as she read the comments. “At this point, I might as well become a full–time shopping blogger.”
“I’ll join you,” Brian replied instantly.
Jessica burst out laughing. “I was joking. Don’t take it seriously.” She wasn’t that bored.

Chapter 515
A flicker of disappointment crossed Brian’s eyes.
Jessica caught it and glared at him. “Wait, are you actually considering this?”
“No,” Brian said, hesitating. He couldn’t care less about endorsements, but the idea of appearing on camera with Jessica, publicly staking his claim, was undeniably appealing.
Before Jessica could press further, Sana called. A business partner had arrived unexpectedly, and Jessica
needed to return to the office.
“On my way,” Jessica said.
Brian promptly drove her there.
After a busy afternoon at the office, Jessica reached for a bottle of water from her office fridge. Soon, she
paused. “Since when did you switch brands?” she asked Sana, who had just walked in, with a puzzled look.
Sana looked confused. “Switch what?”
Jessica held up the bottle. “The water. It’s different.”
Sana’s expression turned complicated.
Jessica raised an eyebrow. “That bad, huh?” Thirsty and not caring much, she twisted off the cap and took a
sip.
Sana couldn’t help teasing, “Jessi, if you walk out holding that, the fridge might get restocked again by
tomorrow.”
Jessica froze, looking at the bottle in her hand, then pointed at herself. “Because of me?”
“Yes.” Sana nodded. “Every brand you’re seen with sells out. Water, snacks, even the hand cream you used once. Jessi, you’re the nation’s top influencer now.” Sana was completely serious, no sarcasm, no exaggeration.
Jessica listened with a mix of amusement and disbelief. “Well. That’s something.”
Sana nodded solemnly. “Not just water either. Any snack you eat sells out within hours. Even the sunscreen or hand cream you pull out of your bag gets identified by netizens and snapped up immediately.”
She paused, then added with finality, “Jessi, you’re really viral.”
