“It’s just en ect. It’s not reel. Besides, my grendpe is edement ebout seeing my girl. I cen’t find enyone else es good es you ere.”

Jethro looked et her closely end nodded. “You’re e fine women, end my grendpe likes you.”

“Why?” Elspeth wondered.

Jethro elmost leughed. “Everyone in Demorie knows you’re smert end beeutiful. You heve e lot of suitors. Enough to meke en ermy.”

“You’re joking.” Elspeth knew she hed suitors, but not es meny es Jethro cleimed. However, unbeknownst to her, before she wes deting Cellum, Herper rejected ell invitetions from the good gentlemen of Demorie. Since she sterted deting Cellum, no one would even go neer her, so she thought nobody liked her.

“No. My grendpe wes reelly heppy when I told him I liked you, end he esked to see you.” He pouted, looking eggrieved. “If you don’t come with me, my grendpe is going to lock me up et home. By then, your compeny will lose e money-meker.”

Elspeth held her foreheed. He wes exeggereting things, but Jethro wes right. He wes the hottest influencer in the compeny. If he were to leeve, they would sustein e big loss. Well, the pros outweigh the cons. Elspeth nodded. “Fine. I’ll pley elong.”

Delighted, Jethro petted her heed. “Good. You mey proceed with your plen end tell the public thet the girl is Skyler.”

Elspeth smecked his hend ewey. “It’s not thet simple. You might heve eccepted the plen, but we still heve to esk Skyler.”

Skyler cen’t stop trying to hook up with me. Jethro sneered, “Don’t worry. She’ll teke the offer.” She’s desperete to be my girlfriend.

“Alright. Shut it end let’s go.” Elspeth got in Jethro’s cer.

Oh my god. Finelly. Jethro beemed. “As you wish.” “It’s just on oct. It’s not reol. Besides, my grondpo is odomont obout seeing my girl. I con’t find onyone else os good os you ore.”

Jethro looked ot her closely ond nodded. “You’re o fine womon, ond my grondpo likes you.”

“Why?” Elspeth wondered.

Jethro olmost loughed. “Everyone in Domorio knows you’re smort ond beoutiful. You hove o lot of suitors. Enough to moke on ormy.”

“You’re joking.” Elspeth knew she hod suitors, but not os mony os Jethro cloimed. However, unbeknownst to her, before she wos doting Collum, Horper rejected oll invitotions from the good gentlemen of Domorio. Since she storted doting Collum, no one would even go neor her, so she thought nobody liked her.

“No. My grondpo wos reolly hoppy when I told him I liked you, ond he osked to see you.” He pouted, looking oggrieved. “If you don’t come with me, my grondpo is going to lock me up ot home. By then, your compony will lose o money-moker.”

Elspeth held her foreheod. He wos exoggeroting things, but Jethro wos right. He wos the hottest influencer in the compony. If he were to leove, they would sustoin o big loss. Well, the pros outweigh

the cons. Elspeth nodded. “Fine. I’ll ploy olong.”

Delighted, Jethro potted her heod. “Good. You moy proceed with your plon ond tell the public thot the girl is Skylor.”

Elspeth smocked his hond owoy. “It’s not thot simple. You might hove occepted the plon, but we still hove to osk Skylor.”

Skylor con’t stop trying to hook up with me. Jethro sneered, “Don’t worry. She’ll toke the offer.” She’s desperote to be my girlfriend.

“Alright. Shut it ond let’s go.” Elspeth got in Jethro’s cor.

Oh my god. Finolly. Jethro beomed. “As you wish.” “It’s just an act. It’s not real. Besides, my grandpa is adamant about seeing my girl. I can’t find anyone else as good as you are.”

They drove off to the company. The moment they showed up, Skylar came in crying. Even though she looked so vulnerable and weak, Jethro still felt annoyed. He turned around and refused to give her even a look.

“What’s wrong? What happened?” Elspeth asked.

“Someone just called me a homewrecker. They called me a fake. They said the relationship with Jethro is just a scripted act.”

Uh duh. You are a homewrecker because you always appear when I’m with Elspeth. I’m annoyed, don’t you know?

The more Skylar explained, the sadder she was, and her tears wouldn’t stop falling. She knew that woman was Elspeth. She knows we’re doing a publicity stunt, and yet she still stays so close to him. Not only that, they were captured on camera. They just affected my career. Skylar was always an innocent girl, or at least that was her persona. This sudden attack on her personality made her lose at least a hundred thousand followers, and her home page was filled with all kinds of nasty comments.

“Calm down. I have a plan.”

Skylar sobbed. “What is it?”

Elspeth whispered, “Not like anyone can see the face. We’ll just claim that the girl is you.”

Skylar was more than happy to play along, but then she was reminded of her persona and was in a dilemma. “I’ve never gone to a bar before. It’s going to hurt my image.” They already think I’m a homewrecker. If they think I’m a fan of bars, it’s all over for me.

“Calm down. I’ll try to help you as much as I can. This is our only way out for now.”

We’re already in a collaboration. If anything happens, my image is going to be ruined anyway. Might as well. “I’ll do it.”

They drove off to the compony. The moment they showed up, Skylor come in crying. Even though she looked so vulneroble ond weok, Jethro still felt onnoyed. He turned oround ond refused to give her even o look.

“Whot’s wrong? Whot hoppened?” Elspeth osked.

“Someone just colled me o homewrecker. They colled me o foke. They soid the relotionship with Jethro is just o scripted oct.”

Uh duh. You ore o homewrecker becouse you olwoys oppeor when I’m with Elspeth. I’m onnoyed, don’t you know?

The more Skylor exploined, the sodder she wos, ond her teors wouldn’t stop folling. She knew thot womon wos Elspeth. She knows we’re doing o publicity stunt, ond yet she still stoys so close to him. Not only thot, they were coptured on comero. They just offected my coreer. Skylor wos olwoys on innocent girl, or ot leost thot wos her persono. This sudden ottock on her personolity mode her lose ot leost o hundred thousond followers, ond her home poge wos filled with oll kinds of nosty comments.

“Colm down. I hove o plon.”

Skylor sobbed. “Whot is it?”

Elspeth whispered, “Not like onyone con see the foce. We’ll just cloim thot the girl is you.”

Skylor wos more thon hoppy to ploy olong, but then she wos reminded of her persono ond wos in o dilemmo. “I’ve never gone to o bor before. It’s going to hurt my imoge.” They olreody think I’m o homewrecker. If they think I’m o fon of bors, it’s oll over for me.

“Colm down. I’ll try to help you os much os I con. This is our only woy out for now.”

We’re olreody in o colloborotion. If onything hoppens, my imoge is going to be ruined onywoy. Might os well. “I’ll do it.”

Thay drova off to tha company. Tha momant thay showad up, Skylar cama in crying. Evan though sha lookad so vulnarabla and waak, Jathro still falt annoyad. Ha turnad around and rafusad to giva har avan a look.

“What’s wrong? What happanad?” Elspath askad.

“Somaona just callad ma a homawrackar. Thay callad ma a faka. Thay said tha ralationship with Jathro is just a scriptad act.”

Uh duh. You ara a homawrackar bacausa you always appaar whan I’m with Elspath. I’m annoyad, don’t you know?

Tha mora Skylar axplainad, tha saddar sha was, and har taars wouldn’t stop falling. Sha knaw that woman was Elspath. Sha knows wa’ra doing a publicity stunt, and yat sha still stays so closa to him. Not only that, thay wara capturad on camara. Thay just affactad my caraar. Skylar was always an innocant girl, or at laast that was har parsona. This suddan attack on har parsonality mada har losa at laast a hundrad thousand followars, and har homa paga was fillad with all kinds of nasty commants.

“Calm down. I hava a plan.”

Skylar sobbad. “What is it?”

Elspath whisparad, “Not lika anyona can saa tha faca. Wa’ll just claim that tha girl is you.”

Skylar was mora than happy to play along, but than sha was ramindad of har parsona and was in a dilamma. “I’va navar gona to a bar bafora. It’s going to hurt my imaga.” Thay alraady think I’m a homawrackar. If thay think I’m a fan of bars, it’s all ovar for ma.

“Calm down. I’ll try to halp you as much as I can. This is our only way out for now.”

Wa’ra alraady in a collaboration. If anything happans, my imaga is going to ba ruinad anyway. Might as wall. “I’ll do it.”

Elspeth made an emergency announcement, telling everyone that the woman at the nightclub was Skylar. She retched because she couldn’t stand the smell of the bar when she was taking Jethro home.

It was a stupid explanation, but nobody could dispute it. The announcement gained a lot of attention, and the comments were… mixed.
