Jessie noticed that Julia liked them very much and smiled. “If Miss Rossi likes them, I can make more for you in the future. They’re not expensive anyway.”
They weren’t expensive to make; she only needed so ti to weave them up.
“Do you sell them here?” Julia asked curiously.
From her perspective, Jessie’s shop was neither in the city center nor in a good location, and the space was too small. She was worried about whether Jessie would be able to sell them.
Jessie nodded and explained, “These are included as freebies with small cakes. Sotis children like them and co back to buy more, which helps increase my sales.
“I’m planning to make a website for the shop online to sell these items. Broadening the sales channels seems like a good idea.”
Hearing her idea, Julia proactively offered, “Then I’ll share it with my friends so they can support your business. Your handicraft is amazing; your skills are impressive.”
After her first encounter with Jessie, she felt that Jessie was a very sincere person. She was also willing to use her network resources to promote her, and most importantly, she genuinely believed that what Jessie does is extrely good.
Even if her friends didn’t like them, they would help promote her on her behalf out of courtesy.
Jessie didn’t stand on ceremony and directly accepted the offer.
“That would be great. Thank you, Miss Rossi.”
After that, she politely invited Julia to sit down and brought out the shop’s signature cakes to entertain her. Julia, having sought her out again, was a delightful surprise for Jessie, thinking eting soone as prominent as her would only ever be sothing she could talk about among her friends.
Not only did she et Julia, but Julia even ca to find her; it was truly amazing.
Even Jessie’s close friend, Lilian, didn’t know her—despite that, Jessie sohow did.
Such luck was astonishing.
“The cake you made is really delicious. How did you make it?” Julia was taken aback by the flavor; it was on par with the chefs at her ho.
Jessie was amused by her surprised expression. “I’m only using so ordinary ingredients. If you like it, Miss Rossi, I can teach you next ti.”
But then, she felt like she had misspoken. How could a wealthy heiress like Julia possibly bake for herself?
To her surprise, Julia nodded in agreent. “Sure!”
As Julia was smiling, Jessie couldn’t help but marvel at her. Having been born into such a wealthy family, not only was she beautiful, but she also had an outstanding figure and bearing, perfectly matched up with soone like President Harper.
Indeed, they were a perfect match.
On the other hand, Kevin felt his nose itch, thinking about Julia seeking out Jessie.
He knew Julia wouldn’t trouble Jessie, but why was she reaching out to his wife? Could it actually be, as Adam said, that she wants to befriend his wife?
It was almost unimaginable that one of his admirers and his wife could beco friends.
Julia ate the cake, but there was so bitterness in her expression, which Jessie noticed and inquired about.
“Miss Rossi, are you in a bad mood? If you’re willing to talk about it, maybe I can help.”
Only then did Julia put down her fork, taking a deep breath before she looked into Jessie’s eyes.
“You probably saw the headlines about chasing after President Harper in a quite passionate way. I know how much I really like him, and this feeling has lasted for a very long ti. At first, I thought it was impossible and considered giving up, but even after studying abroad for a few years, I still couldn’t forget him. If I like soone that much, shouldn’t I just pursue him? I feel like I should be bold in expressing my feelings.
“After all, he’s single, and so am I. I am responsible for my feelings and for pursuing him. What’s wrong with that? Why does no one understand my actions? I don’t have a single person supporting .”
Julia took a deep sigh. “I’m telling you this because when I first t you, our interactions made feel close to you. I want to be friends with you, and since I don’t have many friends, you’re the only one I feel I can confide in.”
After she finished speaking, she stabbed her fork into the cake with frustration visible on her face.
What was so wrong with liking soone? She liked Kevin, so she pursued him in a brave way. Why did everyone insist she give up, saying it was impossible?
Jessie was the only one who told her to keep going.
So, she believed Jessie understood her and poured her heart out.
“I know my limits; if President Harper had a wife or a girlfriend, I would never pursue him. I still have my dignity. I just believe that if you like soone, you should try your hardest to win them over; that way, you’re not left with any regrets. Even if there’s no result, at least I tried.”
Hearing this, Jessie found Julia to be different from the rumors. Contrary to being a wilful and spoiled heiress like the rumors suggested, she seed to have a proper outlook and mindset, just like any young girl lost in emotions.
However, Kevin was indeed single. Back then, she barely caught a glimpse of him. She couldn’t even see his face properly as he was surrounded by bodyguards. Over the years, he had never let any young woman near him, not even having any scandals around him.
It was Julia’s bold confession that made it to the news.
Jessie thought for a bit. “I don’t think you’re in the wrong. Going after the one you like isn’t wrong in itself. Besides, President Harper doesn’t have a relationship with anyone else. You like him, you pursue him, and you’re willing to take responsibility for your feelings. There’s nothing wrong with that.”
Julia imdiately felt like she had t soone she could confide in, grabbing Jessie’s hand and exclaiming, “Yes, that’s exactly how I feel. It’s good that you support , Jessie.”
Jessie seed to understand why Julia would co to her now. After all, stubbornly pursuing sothing can be a heavy burden. Finally finding soone who supported you would naturally make you want to share your troubles.
“Try to look at it positively; being single isn’t all that bad. To be honest, I had a relationship before, and he cheated on with soone else behind my back. Being single ans you can do whatever you want, whenever you want.”
If she were to get married, she might end up like Laura—that kind of marriage wasn’t what she wanted.
Thankfully, Kevin was thoughtful. However, their marriage was only a contractual one.
“Anyway, persistence pays off. Haven’t you read those online novels where the girl boldly pursues the guy? She clings to him and doesn’t let go. Although he remains aloof, the mont she decides to give up, he realizes her worth and begins a ‘chase to win back’ scenario.”
Jessie never thought she would one day be quoting Lilian’s lines from her novels.
