Meanwhile, Damon received a call from Spencer on his way home.

"Mr. Sumner, a gossip account just posted a photo of Ms. Austen and Mr. Preston kissing at a restaurant, claiming she's cheating on you with him. The Internet is blowing up with people saying you've been played. Should we address it?" Spencer reported. Damon's expression remained icy. "Ignore it. Let them handle it themselves."

The picture of me and Nathaniel kissing is fake, taken from a misleading angle by the paparazzi. We're just friends." Damon stopped the car, feeling a flicker of irritation. "Rebecca, we've already broken up. Whoever you're involved with is none of my business, and I don't care."
