Chapter 39

Jocelyn stared at that phone number on the screen, taking some while before picking up.

“Hello?”

“I’m heading back, Melvin said in a deep voice.

Jocelyn swirled the water in her cup, “Oh.”

“Are you coming with me?”

“Nope.” Jocelyn said, “Wish you a smooth sailing though.”

There was a moment of silence on the other end, “I’ll pick you up from the airport when you’re back.”

“We’ll see.” Jocelyn hadn’t heard a peep from him last night and said with feigned ease, lips pursed, “Alright, we’ve gottal gear up for the next sightseeing spot, bye.”

She hung up before he could respond.

Ursula was all eyes on her, “No explanation?”

“What’s there to explain?” Jocelyn sipped her water, suddenly finding it a little tart, “He’s nobody to me.”

“After all you’ve had sex, are you sure you don’t care about him?” Ursula was gobsmacked.

“We’re all grown-ups. Since he doesn’t give me a name as his girlfriend, why bother?” Jocelyn shrugged it off, “It’s all just

for fun.”

Ursula shook her head with confusion, “I don’t think you two should be like this.”

“I’ve always felt the same. But they aren’t facts, are they?” Jocelyn gave a bitter smile, “What can I do? Just gotta roll with it. I can’t make a difference all by myself.”

Ursula could tell she was bummed out. She didn’t know what to say to comfort her, it seemed like nothing would help.

“I’m fine.” Jocelyn knew Ursula was worried and replied with a smile, “I’ve accepted it, so it’s all good.”

Ursula frowned and sighed softly, “Are you going to keep this up? Willow’s pretty high-profile, and now with the media tagging him as her boyfriend. I bet the fans will not spare anything about him. I’m afraid you’ll get dragged into it.”

Jocelyn had thought about it, but she figured Melvin wouldn’t let things blow up..

Without a doubt, a couple of hours later, the media reported that the guy wasn’t Willow’s boyfriend, but an old friend or a brand partner. They were just shooting an advertisement in the city and happened to be there to help out with a

situation.
