You’ll Fall for Me, Today or Tomorrow -
Chapter 440
Naturally, Damian was well aware of Wrenna's feelings toward him.
However, he was very cautious when it came to relationships and wouldn't say he loved someone unless he truly did.
As such, he simply sighed and gave her a kiss on the forehead instead.
"All right, I know. Let's go home," he whispered as he let go of her and drove straight home.
Wrenna was a little disappointed by his response at first, but she figured it wasn't a big deal as she had plenty of time to make him fall in love with her.
She climbed into bed immediately upon arriving home and reached out for a hug as usual.
Although a little uncomfortable with it, Damian wrapped his arms around her and patted her gently anyway.
"Say, Damian?"
"Hmm?"
"Are you really not mad?"
There was still a hint of nervousness in her tone of voice.
"No, this isn't your fault," Damian replied after a brief pause.
Wrenna was delighted to hear that, but that feeling of joy was short-lived as another thought slid its way into her head.
Wait... If he's not mad, then he isn't jealous at all! Does that mean he doesn't like me, then?
Wrenna let out a loud sigh while lying in his arms, so there was no way he wouldn't have heard her.
"What's wrong?"
"Aren't you jealous at all, Damian?"
She was so straightforward with her question that she caught Damian completely off guard, and he didn't know what to say in response.
Before he could even answer her question, she had already gotten over it and said casually, "It's okay. Don't worry about it! I'm just glad you're not mad, Damian! Let's go to bed, shall we? Good night!" "Good night."
Wrenna fell asleep rather quickly in his arms while Damian lay there wide awake thinking about her question earlier.
Wrenna thought the incident would die down and be forgotten quickly as she had made herself very clear.
To her surprise, it had only gotten worse by the time she woke up the next morning.
As both Jayden and Wrenna were fairly popular on campus due to their good looks, videos of his romantic confession went viral online and were shared by tons of other students. Wrenna realized something was off when she arrived on campus and saw everyone staring at her in envy.
It wasn't until she returned to her dorm that she found out what happened.
"This is unbelievable! These netizens just blindly shared the video and congratulated you two without knowing anything! Now everyone's going to think you and Jayden are a couple!" "Yeah! I know you told Mr. Quigley about it yesterday and all, but just take a look at this mess... Do you think he'll actually get mad?"
Wrenna quickly scrolled through her social media feed upon hearing that, and the sight of those comments wishing them a happy relationship made her blood boil.
To make matters worse, some of the netizens even went as far as revealing the name of their university and their classes.
"This has gone too far!"
Wrenna's cheeks were puffed up with anger as she made a post explaining how Jayden had forced himself onto her, and that there was nothing going on between them. However, nobody believed her story as she wasn't as popular as the influencers who were spreading the video on their social media pages.
While the others were freaking out at how her story received more attention than those superstars out there, Xandra saw right through the ploy right away. "Under normal circumstances, there's no way a video like this would gain so much attention. Someone must be hiring internet trolls to help boost its popularity." "Who would do such a horrible thing?"
"It's definitely Jayden! I'll go have a word with him right this instant!" Wrenna said angrily and ran out of the dorm with her friends following closely behind.
She didn't even need to say anything as the guys at the male dormitory knew she was looking for Jayden the moment she arrived. They then whistled and shouted for him to come and see her. Jayden was smiling gleefully as he made his way down the stairs, only to have Wrenna step forward and slap him hard across the face.
Smack!
The sound was so loud that it shocked everyone at the scene, including Jayden himself.
"I told you I don't love you, Jayden! I'm already married, for goodness' sake! You have gone way too far this time! I will never like you, Jayden! In fact, I hate you!"
The look in Jayden's eyes darkened as he said after a brief pause, "You can hate me to your heart's content, but I'll still love you all the same."
"Does your shamelessness know no bounds? So what if the whole damned world knows about this? I'll still hate you for the rest of my life!"
Wrenna then turned around and left after saying that, and the crowd quickly dispersed when Jayden did the same.
Damn, and here I thought she was just embarrassed to admit that she likes me... Looks like she really has no feelings for me at all... But what about the video going viral online? Everyone's talking about it these days!
Jayden's roommates had all witnessed him being slapped earlier and were quick to question him about it the moment he returned to the room.
"Jeez, isn't it a bit excessive of Wrenna to come looking for trouble after your failed confession? Doesn't she have anything better to do?"
"I think she came here because of the video online. Seriously, whoever uploaded it sure knew what they were doing! They cropped out the part where she ran off crying, so it would look just like an ordinary confession! Jayden, did you actually hire those internet trolls to do this?"
"Do I look like I'd do something that f*cking despicable?" Jayden snapped back at them angrily.
"Okay, maybe you don't... This would cost a lot of money, after all. Still, didn't your card get frozen lately around the same time this video went viral? Is this really just a coincidence?"
Jayden simply climbed into bed without saying a word. He had no idea what was going on himself, but he wasn't in the mood to worry about any of that.
Damn it, why is it so hard for me to just love someone? It hurts so much knowing Wrenna is going to hate me for the rest of her life...
Meanwhile, in Tyson Corporation, Johannes was reporting his replaceings to Damian after taking care of the situation on the internet.
"We've confirmed that there is indeed a group of paid internet trolls behind this incident. Although the influencers who have shared the video deny having been approached by anyone, it's clear that someone is behind all this. Could this be an attack aimed at Tyson Corporation, Mr. Tyson?"
There was a sharp glint in Damian's eyes as he gave the order, "Tell the public relations department that they are to closely monitor all news related to Wren in addition to those of our company."
"Yes, Mr. Tyson."
Could it be that the attack wasn't aimed at Tyson Corporation, but at Wrenna herself? But, what good would uploading a video of her with another man do? It doesn't make any sense no matter how I look at it... Wrenna cried again after returning to her dorm, but she was quick to stop when she found out that the posts have all been removed.
Having skipped her classes in the afternoon, she went straight to Tyson Corporation to see Damian.
She would usually wait for him in the guest lounge so as to not disturb him at work, but he brought her straight into his office that day instead.
"Am I bothering you, Damian?" she asked nervously.
"No, not at all. Don't you have classes this afternoon? Skipping class again, are you?" Damian said as he poured her a glass of water and had someone bring her some snacks. Wrenna let out a shameless giggle before pouting as she asked, "Were you the one who took care of the rumors online?"
"Yeah."
"I knew I was causing you trouble again... I didn't think Jayden would do such a horrible thing, but I slapped him for it earlier! I also told him I would hate him no matter what he did!" Damian couldn't help but chuckle in amusement at how cute Wrenna looked when she was angry.
However, he decided not to tell her that Jayden wasn't the one who did it.
"A-Anyway, you should hurry up and get back to work, Damian! I'll keep quiet, so just carry on!" she said with a smile.
Oh, my god! I get to have snacks while watching Damian at work! He looks so cool when he's serious!
Wrenna was so happy that all of her negative emotions had disappeared completely.
"Okay, just let me know if you need anything. You can get some rest in the break room if you feel tired."
"Yeah, I will!"
Damian then shifted his attention back to his work and immersed himself fully in it.
Wrenna, on the other hand, tried to be as quiet as possible in everything she did. She even went as far as chewing her food slowly to minimize the noise she would make.
After filling up her tummy, she pulled out her phone and put it on silent before snapping tons of pictures of Damian.
Oh, my god! He's so hot that I could just look at him forever!
She thought to herself as she set his pictures as the wallpaper for her phone and all of its applications. That way, she would be able to see his handsome face at all times while using her phone. Damian's phone rang all of a sudden, shocking Wrenna so much that she quickly looked down and pretended to be playing with her phone.
However, Damian didn't notice her reaction as he was staring at the screen of his phone. He waited for about ten seconds before answering it with an expressionless look on his face, much to Wrenna's confusion.
Why did Damian wait so long before answering the phone?
"What is it?" he asked coldly.
"Damian, do you remember what day it is today? I'm waiting for you in the forest where we held hands and kissed for the first time. Will you please come over?"
Damian went silent and looked up at Wrenna who had been staring at him curiously.
