After Alex left, I remained standing in the same spot, unmoving.
Sunlight streamed in diagonally from the window.
I stood in the light, slowly exhaled, and pulled out my phone from my bag.
That’s when I noticed Jax Ryder’s name trending.
#JaxRyder #Girlfriend
“According to an insider, after last night’s regional finals, ‘God Jax‘ Jax Ryder was seen secretly meeting his girlfriend in the parking lot. Their actions were intimate…”
The gossip account even posted a photo.
A dimly lit parking lot, fine rain falling.
Jax Ryder stood by the open car door, one hand resting on the frame, his expression
cold, his eyes incredibly sharp.
Everything inside the car was completely obscured.
Only a soft corner of a blue dress and the logo of a high heel were visible in the corner.
The comment section immediately exploded.
“If I remember correctly, God Jax is only nineteen, right? And he’s already dating?!”
“He’s nineteen, he’s an adult. What’s wrong with dating? It’s not affecting his game.”
“No, am I the only one who cares who his girlfriend actually is? I looked up that high heel brand, it’s super expensive, tens of thousands a pair, and hers is a limited edition.”
“Is he being kept by some sugar mama?”
Someone from the club soon called:
21:37 Tue, 26 Aug
“Boss, reporters are already asking about this. Should we do some PR?”
“Mm.”
I pressed my fingers to the cut on my check and responded calmly,
“Deny everything about Jax Ryder’s relationship.”
However, before the press conference could even officially begin.
Anyone could see the displeasure in his eyes.
of a strawberry cake.
Someone brave enough went up and asked: “God Jax, are you in a bad mood?”
He glanced over and replied:
“Yeah.”
“Got into a fight with my girlfriend.”
This video quickly shot to the top of the trending list.
His call came in just as I stood before the front gates of the Harding family estate.
“Eve.”
He said, “Are you really planning to sleep with me and then just run?”
