    Jessica read through the messages, her nails digging so hard into her palms they‘ went abroad,‘ she thought.

    As for the candy, Jessica didn’t believe Madeline was really being that thoughtful. Most likely, Brian had asked her to buy it for him Ether way, bon possibilities were equally disgusting.

    Jessica kept her expression cold and immediately blocked the unknown number. You just want to make me angry and give up on Brianpletely, don’t you, Madeline?‘ she thought. ‘Well, I’m not going to give you what you want!

    Since Brian wasn’t going anywhere anyway, it made perfect sense to use him to get back at Madeline.

    With that n in mind, Jessica actually started treating Brian decently for the next few days.

    Brian was so excited he thought he’d finally seeded. He couldn’t help but share the good news with Wesley.

    Wesley was happy for him, but then he thought about his own stalled romantic situation and sighed. When will Sana stop being so stubbom and realize t actually like her?‘ he wondered.

    The Sana he was thinking about was currentlypeting with another coworker for a business trip assignment.

    “Kylie, didn’t you just say the other day that your son needs to start tutoring sses? iYou /isaid you didn’t want to be traveling so much and wanted to focus on his studies,” Sana said earnestly.

    “I don’t have anything going on, and I can work from anywhere. Why don’t you let me take this business trip instead?” she added.

    Sana really couldn’t stay in this city anymore. She didn’t know what had gotten into Wesleytely, but he was sending her good morning and good bnight /bmessages every single day, bombarding her with eighty texts daily, and ambushing her on her way to and from work.

    Her dailymute had basically turned into a game of hide–and–seek with Wesley.

    Even though Sana was trying so hard to avoid him, he still managed to corner iher /iseveral times. Her coworkers had witnessed these encounters, and word spread quickly. Now everyone in thepany knew that some gorgeous guy was chasing after her.

    Whenever Sana walked through the office, gossipy colleagues would corner her and ask how things were going with that handsome guy.

    When Sana denied anything was happening, they’d try to convince her to give him a chance. “Come on, he’s such a catch,” they’d say. “What’s the harm in trying?”

    Sana was absolutely fed up. She wanted to exin the situation, but Wesley kept making things worse by showing up everywhere.

    At this point, Wesley had pushed her to her breaking point. She finally decided that if she couldn’t make him leave her alone, she’d just have to escape herself.

    With that in mind, Sana went straight to Jessica andunched into a passionate pitch about why she was perfect for the uing business trip.

    Sana highlighted all her advantages and made countless promises. After a tremendous effort, she finally managed to snag the assignment.

    Jessica found the whole situation amusing. After consulting with Wesley, she casually mentioned Sana’s desperate bid for the business trip during their

    chat.

    “The power of true love is amazing. Sana’s been so much more motivated at worktely,” Jessica said with a smile.

    Wesley’s pen made a heavy mark across the paper. “So she’s on a business trip…” he muttered. bThat /bexined why he hadn’t been able bto /bfind bher /bbat /beither her apartmentplex or the office recently.

    “What did you say, Dr. Finch?” Jessica asked. His voice had been too quiet for her to catch what he said.
