Chapter 19

Jenny POV:

As I scrolled through the comments on my phone, my heart sank. Fans of Alex were speculating about our encounter at Mr. Jones' party. The video of us staring at each other had gone viral, and the internet was abuzz with theories.

"Who is this girl looking at my lover?" one fan commented. "Maybe she was trying to get his attention, and she did. Wow, what a manipulator she is," another added. I winced at the harsh words, feeling a sting of embarrassment.

But some comments caught me off guard. "I ship them together; they've got this vibe like all those love Korean dramas," someone wrote. Others speculated about our past, suggesting we might be childhood friends or former lovers reunited. I blushed at the thought, feeling a flutter in my chest.

Julia snatched my phone from my hand, her eyes blazing with anger. "So, tell me, who are you to him?" she demanded, her voice dripping with venom. "Everyone's saying you might be his childhood friend or lover."
