Chapter 776 Super Glue

Jessica proceeded to ask a few more questions.

As they chatted, the security guard even draped a coat on her shoulder to keep her warm.

Jessica’s eyes lit up. “Sir, you’re such a nice person.”

The security guard blushed, scratching his head.

Jessica then said, “Don’t worry, I’m not lying to you. I’ll be living here from now on. I hope you’ll look out for me.”

“Really? That’s fantastic. Ms. Quill, I’m here to assist you with anything you need.”

In less than half a day, Jessica’s beauty and charm had effortlessly won over the security guard.

It was late after Cecilia was done discussing work with Eric. She got ready to return home.

Eric insisted on sending her home. “Ms. Cecille, I have more questions about the song. Just let me send you home. Rest assured, my guys have checked the surroundings thoroughly. There are definitely no paparazzi around.”

Cecilia could only agree,

They were simply discussing work anyway; it was not like they were doing anything inappropriate.

Finally, they arrived at Daltonia Villa. The rain was still pouring. Eric got out of the car, holding. an umbrella for Cecilia.

“Thank

you,”

“she said. Holding a pile of music sheets and her bag, she accepted his kind offer.

As the two made their way toward the door, a figure emerged from the security room. It was Jessica, donning the security guard’s jacket. A mischievous glint sparked in Jessica’s eyes when she saw Cecilia and Eric returning together.

“Cecilia!” she called out.

Cecilia was stunned. What is she doing here?

Intentionally leaving her umbrella behind, Jessica ran toward Cecilia and Eric.

As she got close, she recognized the male celebrity in front of her. “Oh my goodness, are your Eric?”

Eric furrowed his brows. Only a handful of people knew about his return, and he didn’t want anyone to recognize him yet.

“Sorry, you’ve mistaken me for someone else.” He put on his mask, handing the umbrella over to Cecilia. “I’m leaving now.”

“All right.” Cecilia was aware of his concerns,

Finished

As Eric returned to his car, Jessica couldn’t help training her gaze on him. “Cecilia, I’m sure he’s Eric. I’m his fan, too. I thought he was in Alendor. What is he doing back?”

After finishing her sentence, she asked Cecilia, “You and Eric seem quite close. How did you two

meet?”

What an annoying person. She just won’t shut up.

Cecilia didn’t respond to her. Instead, she asked, “What are you doing here?”

Jessica took note of Cecilia and Eric’s connection when she noticed Cecilia changing the subject instead of answering the question. She was sure the relationship between Eric and Cecilia was definitely not as simple as it seemed on the surface.

A popular male celebrity and a rich man’s wife… Such pairing is quite common in high society.

Regaining her senses, Jessica grabbed hold of Cecilia’s clothes, “Cecilia, you said I could stay, right? Nathaniel said since you agreed. I should come over to look after you.”

Cecilia almost cursed out loud when she heard that.

However, given the circumstances, she couldn’t possibly tell Jessica to leave.

She could only put it in a roundabout way, “Jessica, I don’t need anyone to look after me right now. You should go back.”

Tears clouded over Jessica’s eyes. “Do you not like me? You promised me. Are you going back on your word now?”

Cecilia was speechless.

She genuinely didn’t want someone like Jessica to be around her, regardless of whether she bore ill intentions or not.

“What I meant was, I don’t need anyone to take care of me. Where did you get the idea that I don’t like you? Are you delusional or something?” she said.

“I can take care of Elliot if you let me stay, and even help with the house cleaning and such.”

Cecilia realized that Jessica was like super glue–difficult to shake off. Nathaniel, being the jerk he was, had cunningly passed this “super glue” to her.

“All right, then you stay,” she said.

After some thought, she concluded that to deal with such a persistent nuisance, she needed to employ a different strategy.
