    Chapter 543 I Owe You One


    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, 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 prettyte.”


    “It’s alright. I’ll hang around until you’re done eating.” He had nned to spend the night by her bed,


    but he knew that Jenny would be puzzled or even shocked if he volunteered to do that.


    Jenny didn’t say another word because she didn’t want to sound like she was chasing him out.


    When her phone restarted, she reached out to take it. James suddenly blurted out, “Jenny, I haven’t


    told you this.”


    She paused and withdrew her hand. Staring at him, she asked,


    “What?”Content held by N?velDrama.Org.


    “I brought you to the hospital in my arms when you fainted,” he exined. Still confused, she asked,


    “So what? I won’t me you for doing that.” She was grateful for his help and couldn’t care less about


    how he transported her to the hospital.


    “Well, it wasn’t a big deal at first, but the paparazzi took photos of us. Our photos are probably


    circting 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. 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 spections 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, theizens 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. Although her blood-stained


    shirt was out of sight, thanks to James’ jacket draping over her, she believed that anyone could tell


    from a closer look that she had fainted. Theizens indeed thrived on gossip and could not discern


    the truth.


    She was done eating at the same time she switched off her phone. After she cleaned up, she beamed


    at him. “James, I promised to treat you to dinner tonight, but we got into this situation instead. Again, I


    owe you one.”


    “Don’t sweat it. You’ll have the chance to return the favor. What you should do now is get well soon.”


    He smiled with a tinge of disappointment but was d to have noticed she was in danger. He couldn’t


    imagine what would have happened to her otherwise.
