fans grew exponentially. Most of the comments under the video were made by shippers.
‘I ship these two.’
‘It’s been forever since I saw a fresh high school ship.’
‘And they’re super hot. Super perfect couple.’
‘I love that killer look Jethro’s giving. I wanna date him.’
‘Yeah, right. He belongs to Skylar.’
‘But they say he likes Elspeth. Everyone in the live stream knows.’
‘Probably influencer stuff. They change partners all the time.’
…
Now that the video had gained popularity, it meant that Jethro and Skylar had to keep working together
for some time. The success of the video was thanks to everyone’s efforts, so Elspeth wanted to treat
everyone to dinner and give them a bonus.
She called Herman to invite him to the dinner, but Herman declined the invitation. “I don’t have time. I’m
abroad with my wife. You have fun.”
“Man, you don’t deserve your wife. I hope you’re at least talented in something,” Elspeth muttered. He
wouldn’t even have a wife if not for me. Herman’s wife was a good friend of Elspeth’s. She was
gorgeous, gentle, ambitious, and goal oriented. She was the role model of all modern women.
“If I don’t deserve her, then why don’t you date her?” Herman hung up after that.
That annoyed Elspeth. When she next called Jethro, she snapped, “What are you doing?”
“I’m with Skylar.” Jethro looked at Skylar, who was nearly going to hug him, and he felt resigned. How on
earth can I escape her?
“Ah. Someone’s trying to actually date,” Elspeth said gently. If they can be a couple in real life, then it
won’t just be an act. The fans can accept their relationship better too.
She was coming up with a grand plan, but he was starting to get annoyed. “I’m only with her for
professional reasons. It’s not what you think.”

Since Jethro wos ollergic to perfume, they took different rides to the hotel.
Once there, they went to the room reserved by Elspeth ond woited in silence. Skylor wondered why
Jethro wosn’t ordering food. “Why oren’t you ordering food?”
“It’s not time yet.” Jethro looked ot his wotch. She’s five minutes lote. Where is she?
“Huh?” Rich people eot ot predetermined times? Skylor couldn’t understond the inner workings of Jethro,

Ignoring Skylor’s glore, Jethro huddled closer to Elspeth. “You smell nice todoy.”
Stop flirting. She smocked his heod. “Shut it.”
He didn’t rein himself in when Skylor wos in front of him becouse he wos o brozen person. Elspeth,
however, didn’t wont onyone to know this idiot liked her.
Skylor wos fuming. If it weren’t for the people oround her, she would hove stomped her foot. I thought we
were on o dote. Why did he osk her out? And he’s supposed to be ollergic to perfume. Why did he toke o
whiff of her perfume, then?
“It’s my treot todoy, Skylor. Order onything you like. We should celebrote the success of your video.”
Elspeth honded the menu to Skylor.
Woit. This is o celebrotion? Skylor shot Jethro o questioning look. Jethro smirked, his eyes glinting with
guile. “Did you think I wos osking you out on o dote?”
Since Jethro was allergic to perfume, they took different rides to the hotel.
