James let out a relieved sigh after she agreed to have bodyguards. The men he hired were extraordinary, and they would protect her well.

"Are you hungry?" he asked. "I can get someone to buy food for you." It was surreal to him how they had agreed to meet at a restaurant, but things took a wild turn after that.

She nodded, feeling hungry. He asked someone to buy some food for her, and she put in an additional request for a phone charger as well. It was inconvenient to have a phone run out of battery,no.velxo and she worried about her contacts who couldn't reach her.

Not long after, she got her food and phone charger delivered. She charged her phone before digging in. James stayed around, which was awkward for her. "James, why don't you go home and rest? It's pretty late."

"It's alright. I'll hang around until you're done eating." He had planned to spend the night by her bed, but he knew that Jenny would be puzzled or even shocked if he volunteered to do that.

She paused and withdrew her hand. no.velxo Staring at him, she asked, "What?"

"I brought you to the hospital in my arms when you fainted," he explained.

"Well, it wasn't a big deal at first, but the paparazzi took photos of us. Our photos are probably circulating online along with some gossip," he mumbled while avoiding eye contact. He could have suppressed the news as it broke out, but he sat back and allowed it to go viral, mostly because he was curious about her reaction to the scandal.

The news shocked Jenny, but she waved her hand and dismissed the matter quickly. "It's not a big deal. Just ignore them. no.velxo They'll forget about it after a few days."

As an ex-subject of online abuse, she didn't care much about the online chatter. Given a few days, the discussion would die down.

James was relieved when she didn't show any aversion to being associated with him. "Yeah, I thought so too. They'd go crazy with their speculations if I take down the news."

"Right." She nodded while eating dinner with the phone in her hand. When she touched the screen, she immediately saw a couple of missed calls but didn't call back because James was present. Instead, she decided to check out the news online.

Just like James had described, the netizens described her as his girlfriend and came up with all sorts of stories, but none seemed to notice that she was unconscious in the photos.
