They Want Me Back When It's Too Late (Jessica and Brian) novel Chapter 294

Chapter 294

“Trending again?” Brian raised an eyebrow, puzzled.

He wasn’t even aware he’d trended before.

Jackson, sensing his confusion, quickly explained, “It started a while back. Remember when you lined up to buy food for Mrs. Atkinson? Someone snapped a picture and uploaded it online. It didn’t stir much attention the first few times, so PR didn’t think it warranted a response.”

In recent weeks, Brian had delegated most routine tasks to his deputy, freeing up time to take care of Jessica,

With Weston’s return, much of the workload had shifted further away from him, and fewer reports made it to his desk.

The last time something like this came up, the PR department reported directly to Weston.

Since he hadn’t raised any concerns, they assumed it wasn’t important and let it slide.

“If it’s happened before, just follow the usual protocol,” Brian said calmly, after hearing Jackson out.

But Jackson hesitated. “This time’s different. The photo was taken by a popular influencer. It went viral almost instantly.

“Your identity’s already been dug up, and now it’s the top trending topic.”

Brian had officially gone viral, and this time, it wasn’t quiet.

Frowning, he looked at Jackson’s phone and scrolled through the trending feed, expression darkening.

Jackson ventured cautiously, “Should I get PR to try and suppress the story?”

Brian paused, considering. Then he shook his head. “Let it be.”

Jackson blinked in surprise.

Brian had always avoided publicity, especially online. For him to let this slide, it could only be because of Jessica.

Jackson didn’t press the matter. Brian clearly wasn’t offering any explanations. Instead, he simply told him to turn the car around and head to Grant

Group.

He’d bought a fresh cake for Jessi, and it wouldn’t taste the same if it sat too long.

Jackson thought about bringing up a pending partnership proposal, but one glance at Brian’s expression, soft, almost tender as he looked down at the cake, made him stop.

Something told him that even if he spoke, Brian wouldn’t be listening.

Meanwhile, as the car sped toward Grant Group, social media continued its frenzy. News that the elusive CEO of Atkinson Group was a devoted husband spread like wildfire,

Soon, half the trending list was filled with related hashtags, bringing unprecedented attention to the company.

Even Atkinson Group’s business partners noticed and quickly joined the bandwagon.

One by one, corporate accounts began tagging Atkinson Group’s official profile, offering publie congratulations.

The PR department, caught completely off guard, found itself thrust into a full–blown online engagement campaign before it could fully grasp what had happened.

In a scramble, they began drafting responses while reaching out to both Brian and Weston for guidance.

Weston’s reply came swiftly. “If the attention is positive, let it run its course.”

He figured if the buzz helped Brian win Jessica back, all the better.

It wasn’t manipulation, in his view. Brian had genuinely done those things., and there was no harm in Jessica knowing.

Pleased with how things were unfolding, Weston issued another directive to thank each company that sent well–wishes.
