Unexpected Fiancée

Chapter 60: Creepshot

Chapter 60: Creepshot

Erica furrowed her brows. As far as she knew, Jane was engaged to Patrick. Meanwhile, Florence held a soft spot for Patrick. Florence had even schemed to frame Jane for stealing her diamond ring at Old Doyle's birthday party to humiliate her and push her away from Patrick. However, Jane had swiftly resolved the issue, and Florence bore a grudge against her ever since. Florence had openly stated multiple times that she needed to come up with a plan to get rid of Jane.

Erica believed that if she exposed Jane's secret relationship with Osborn to Florence, it would surely thrill her. But she couldn't fathom why Jane was with Osborn. Their body language seemed unusually intimate. Could there be a hidden romance between them? How had Osborn, a superstar, fallen for Jane? Erica wondered if Jane had used her beauty to her advantage and shamelessly seduced him. As she noticed Osborn's undeniable affection for Jane, jealousy crept in.

She reached for her phone, snapped a photo, and sent it to Florence. Florence, who was out shopping with her friends, received the photo but found it hard to identify the figures due to their blurriness. Confused, she initially disregarded Erica's message. However, after receiving another message from Erica, Florence examined the photo more closely. Even though the image was unclear, she couldn't deny that the girl was Jane.

Did this mean Jane was cheating on Patrick with another man? Excited, Florence immediately called Erica, seeking confirmation.

"Is it true? Jane is with Osborn?"

Erica assured her, "Of course, it's true. I saw them together with my own eyes."

While Florence tried to make sense of the situation, Erica cast a jealous glare at Osborn. She couldn't comprehend what made Jane so special and why Osborn had such affectionate eyes for her.

"Where are they now?" Florence inquired, deciding to see for herself.

If what Erica said was accurate, and Patrick discovered that his fiancée was seeing another man behind his back, it would spell trouble for Jane. A proud and noble man like Patrick wouldn't stand idly by if his fiancée betrayed him, meaning Jane could face severe consequences.

Florence was thrilled at the thought of Patrick sending Jane away. She quickly reminded Erica, "The photos you sent were too blurry. Take a few more as soon as possible. You stay there and keep a close eye on them. I'll be right there." ConTEent bel0ngs to Nôv(e)lD/rama(.)Org .

"Okay," Erica agreed without hesitation. She tried to capture more photos but found Jane and Osborn sitting too far away in a café corner, with only their side profiles visible. She needed to enter the café for a better shot. However, as she approached, the waiter stopped her in her tracks, explaining that the café had been booked entirely for a private event and wasn't accepting other guests at the moment.

Desperate to get in, Erica offered money, but the waiter politely declined. Meanwhile, inside the café, Jane withdrew her hand from Osborn and said, "Osborn, I thought I made it clear. We're not meant for each other. You should focus on your work."

"Why?" Osborn persisted.

"Is it because of Patrick?" Jane started to explain, but Osborn interjected, "Jane, there's something you don't know."

"What do you mean?" Jane inquired.

Osborn hesitated, then divulged, "Patrick is deeply in love with a girl."

"A girl he loves? Is it Candy?"

Jane took a deep breath, and Osborn was shocked. She nodded, and he continued, "Well, now that you know her, you should also know that she's the only one in Patrick's heart. He doesn't truly love you. You'll never be happy with him."

Remembering the night when Patrick drunkenly called out for Candy, Jane felt a sudden and painful tug at her heart. She attempted to speak but was interrupted by a commotion outside the door.

Jane glanced toward the entrance and asked, "What's happening?"

"I'll go check," Osborn said as he stood up and walked towards the door. Just as he opened it, he was met with a flash of light from the paparazzi's cameras.

While Erica was still trying to persuade the waiter to let her in, she noticed Osborn approaching her. Her heart quickened. He asked in a low voice, "What's going on?"

The waiter quickly explained the situation, saying, "I'm sorry, Mr. Maltz. This lady insisted on coming in."

Osborn gave Erica a cold look. "What's up?"

Staring into his eyes, Erica felt a surge of electricity course through her body. Osborn, a tall, handsome, and melancholic man, appeared even more attractive and charming in person than on TV.

After a moment of awe, Erica regained her composure and responded, "Osborn, I'm a devoted fan of yours. You're a heartthrob. Can I get your autograph?"

This was the first time she had ever been so close to him, and her racing heart made it quite evident.

Erica found herself a bundle of nerves and ended up stuttering. She hadn't expected to meet him like this. Osborn, the superstar, was a major crush of hers.

Osborn shot a piercing look at Erica's phone. "Were you taking pictures of me just now?"

"I..." Her hand holding the phone began to tremble.

"Give it to me," Osborn demanded in a harsh tone.

For a moment, Erica was at a loss for what to do. She tightened her grip on her phone. But Osborn stepped forward and swiftly took it from her.

"Password," he demanded, his expression stern, and the cold aura around him made her shiver.

Erica trembled as she gingerly entered her password. "I'm so sorry. I didn't mean to take your photos." She bit her lip, her unease growing.

Was Osborn angry with her because she had been secretly taking photos of him? He opened the photos she had taken and deleted each one of them that featured him with Jane. He made sure that none of those photos were left before returning her phone to her.
