Jasmine was surprised that Callum would react so positively, and she was delighted. So, he’s accepted me? I knew it. I knew he would give me a chance as long as I worked for it. She heard the call. It was from Elspeth, and Callum snapped at her. What a joke. She gave up on him, and now she’s calling just to beg him to take her back? I bet Callum’s disgusted with her. If I keep this up, he’ll marry me sooner or later. All I have to do is be nice to him. The thought delighted her, and she kept smiling.

“Someone’s happy. Did something happen?” Callum took interest for the first time in a while.

Jasmine met his smile, her heart racing. “Yeah, something good.”

“As long as you’re happy.” Callum quietly pushed her hand away from his shoulder. “I have work to do. I can’t accompany you now, so why don’t you go home without me? We’ll meet when I have time.”

That disappointed Jasmine a little, but at least it was better than how they went along earlier, so she backed off to avoid annoying Callum. “Don’t push yourself, then. I’ll be going now.” She clutched her chest and ran away.

Callum saw her off and frowned. Then, he wiped his shoulder with a tissue and tossed it into the bin, feeling disgusted.

…

Elspeth was in a bind, pacing back and forth.

Looking at Elspeth who seemed ready to explode, Jethro asked helplessly, “Why are you so worried?”

“I’m not. I’m mad. Very mad.” Even if he doesn’t like me anymore, there’s no need to come at me. What’s his deal? He’s coming down on me hard. It’s like that’s his only purpose in life.

Jethro had no idea what she was thinking. He thought she was angry because his account was banned, and he crossed his legs, languidly looking at her. “Calm down. It’s not that important.”

“The account? No, no it’s not.” Elspeth took a deep breath. “But for now, it is. What are you going to do now that you have no account?” © 2024 Nôv/el/Dram/a.Org.

“I can just create another one. It’s going to be fine.” My fans care about me, not my account. I can gain my fans back if I just make another account.

“But it’s hard to gain back all your fans in a short time if you make a new account.”

“What will you do, then?” Jethro scratched his head.

“I’m going to see Callum and make him unban your account.” It’s not easy to gain nearly ten million fans in just a few days. It’s doable the first time, but not the second.

“You’re going to him?” Jethro didn’t like the idea. “Nope. I told you I could make another. Moreover, it’s not like he’ll unban my account. I heard the call. He obviously doesn’t want to do that.”

Jethro just didn’t want her to see Callum. What if their love for each other was rekindled again? Then my wooing her would have been for nothing.

“Can you gain back all your fans, then?”

Jethro nodded confidently. “Of course.”

Elspeth doubted it, but she would give him a chance.

Jethro spent the next few days working earnestly, though he would still pick her up after work. She thought he was finally focusing on his work, and since it had been a busy week, she left him to his own

devices. On one fine day, Elspeth was working in her office when Jethro came in and placed his phone on the table. “Here.”

What’s with that mysterious smile? Curious, Elspeth turned her attention to the phone on the table, and she was shocked. She couldn’t believe Jethro’s new account had twenty million followers, and it had only been a week since he created it. “Is this your account?” Elspeth asked.

“Yeah. Look at the new video. It has my name on it.” Jethro put both his hands behind his head, smiling.

“Where did you get this account?” Elspeth didn’t think he worked on this account himself. He wasn’t that powerful.

“Fine. I bought it.”

He bought it? An account with this many followers must have cost millions. “Your family sure is rich,” she mocked.

The disdain in her eyes didn’t escape Jethro, and he felt awkward. “I wouldn’t have done that if I could help it. I was going to work on my new account the best I could, but no matter what I did, the algorithm wouldn’t put me on the front page. I had to buy a spot on Trending, and the cost for that alone was higher than the new account’s price.” He didn’t care about the millions he spent, but the look Elspeth gave him made him uneasy.

Well, if he says so. The algorithm wouldn’t suggest his channel? Callum. But why? To get to me? “Why did you still buy it, then?” Elspeth sighed. “Someone’s obviously trying to restrict you. You should quit the influencer industry for now.” She was dissuading him.

Upset, Jethro leaped into the air. “I don’t know who’s doing this to me, or why, but since I’m here, I won’t stop until I have something to show.”

You don’t care about work. Elspeth rolled her eyes. “What are you getting at?”

“I want to be with you, Elsie.” Jethro approached her, his smile loving. “If I continue working here, I can be with you every day. Then someday, I will be able to make you fall for me.”

And I’m going to fire you someday. “That’s enough. Stop right there. We can talk just like this.”

Elspeth gulped. She was about to tell Jethro off when someone came in. Harper was shocked to see the two of them so close together, but then he remembered that he had a job to do. “Ma’am, someone wants to see you.”
