Jessica held the black card with fair and delicate fingers. The card had gold trims and shined under the light.

The way Jessica gave the saleswoman the credit card and born superiority showed she was born into a rich and influential family.

James smiled, and it was perfect.

Jessica used his card and spent his money, which pleased him more than he would win the presidential election.

James looked at Jessica dotingly and said, "And all the shoes and bags. Send them to the address."

The saleswoman was shocked again. Who the hell was James to buy everything without any hesitation?

And the incredibly handsome man was so nice to his girlfriend, the saleswoman wondered.

Jessica only asked for clothes and accessories. But James bought her all the shoes and bags too. He almost bought everything in the shop, so Jessica would be happy.

Another salesman came over, saying, "Hurry up! Don't you recognize who he is?"

The saleswoman said, "Who?"

She answered, "Your Highness!"

She explained, "He's the prince that most likely will become the president. Be careful with him!"

Caitan and her friends were dumbfounded. Her friend said, "Didn't you say he was a bodyguard?"

Caitan said, "He was. He used to be Jessica's personal bodyguard. It's right! I swear I'm telling the truth."

Caitan's friend said, "And you accused him of killing people. Gladly, we didn't offend him. Or we would be finished." That man was a prince. He had such a noble position. No wonder when James entered, Caitan's friends thought he was not like anybody. Unluckily, they believed what Caitan said and spoke evil of him.

And they looked down on James, thinking he was only a bodyguard, bluffing in the antique shop to impress his girlfriend.

But to their surprise, James bought everything in the shop.

Caitan's look was worse too. James was the prince of B Country!

Caitan only knew he was a bodyguard. Then he flew to B Country after killing her grandpa. Who knew he was a prince and president candidate!

Who could have thought Jessica was so lucky!

Caitan looked at James, who couldn't take eyes off Jessica with sweet and gentle looks.

Jessica couldn't believe that James didn't even blink after she spent so much on clothes. She couldn't help wondering whether James liked to be tortured. The more he suffered, the better he was?

Jessica bit her lips and said, "I'm going to the cosmetics store next."

James smiled and said, "Okay."

Jessica said, "I might buy everything they have. Is that okay?"

James said, "It's okay even if you buy the whole store."

Jessica didn't know what to say. She finally believed that James was really helping her get revenge.

Why?

Why did he do this?

Wasn't he afraid she would avenge her grandpa and made him pay?

Jessica could help thinking all these questions, but she couldn't figure it out. The saleswoman swiped the card and gave it back to Jessica.

The saleswoman took a peek at James and couldn't help gasping at a closer look. With a closer look, some men would reveal different kinds of skin problems like greasy skin and wrinkles. But James's skin was so good, and he looked even more handsome.

The saleswoman said, "Jessica, how lucky are you to have James as your boyfriend."

Jessica looked up with amazement, hurrying to explain, "He's not my boyfriend."

Boyfriend? James chewed on the word and smiled again. He held Jessica's hands and told the saleswoman she was right about saying he was Jessica's boyfriend.

James said, "After we go to the cosmetics store, should we go to the jewelry store? I have to go to a political party tonight. Will you come with me?"

Political...

Jessica shook her head as hard as she could. People who came to the party were politicians talking about national matters. Besides, they were supposed to be enemies. Jessica should seek vengeance.

James knew what she was thinking. He said, luring her, "The presidential election is coming soon. Don't you want to release evidence against me, so I lose all my fortune and honor?"

Jessica didn't expect that James really thought of how to help her get revenge. But for some reason, she wasn't happy hearing what he said.

Jessica said, "I don't feel comfortable at parties."

James said, "You can only focus on me and ignore the rest of the group," James rustled against Jessica's hand, "And there will be a lot of people wishing me to harm there. So you could achieve double the goals with only half the efforts unless you don't want to seek revenge.

Jessica's feeling was complicated. She thought the way she sought revenge wasn't what she expected at all.

James said, "If you don't want to get back at me, then you love me, right?" He stared at Jessica and didn't miss any of her subtle movements.

Jessica was utterly shocked at the word love. She quickly got off of his hands, saying, "I'm not in love with you... I am not."

James said, "Then go with me tonight."

Jessica couldn't understand his logic. She told James she didn't want to come. But why did she end up coming anyway?

Jessica closed her eyes. She couldn't help feeling James, the man who offered to help her get back at himself with all schemes, was too powerful. He had everything in control.

Jessica was held by James to leave the mall in a daze. Caitan followed up and said, "Jessica, wait!"

Jessica paused and looked around. She forgot Caitan was till here since she was focused on talking to James.

Caitan said, "Jessica, mother, and I got so worried hearing you were missing. So I came here to look for you. It took me forever to see you. Are you leaving already?"

Caitan looked really sad and upset.

Jessica said, "Where do you live? I'll come and visit you when I can."

Visit?

James slightly frowned. He spent so much time with Jessica that he knew everyone in the Clifford family. Caitan liked to give Jessica hard times in the past. Now she said she came here to look for Jessica...

James didn't believe for a second that she was telling the truth.

So James said coldly, "You can ask Caitan to stay at our house for a couple of days."

In this way, at least James could control what was going on.

Our house?

Jessica felt touched for no reason, saying, "Are you sure?"

James slightly squinted and said with a deep meaning, "Of course."

James would answer to whatever Jessica asked.

Caitan held Jessica's arms, pretending to be happy, "Great. I'll tell my friends."

Then Caitan turned around to her friends, saying, "I'm going over to James's and spend a few days there. After our trip is over, you go back to A Country without me."

Her friend said, "Are you done so fast?"

Caitan said, "Sure. She's as dumb as she always it."
