Chapter 1372:
CTuesday, she made plans to meet her friend for a bit of retail therapy.
They wandered around the mall for hours, and Jessica snagged a few outfits—sfor herself, others for Melvin.
By the tthey were done, their legs were sore and their arms were full, so they decided to grab a bite to eat.
They had barely sat down and hadn't even ordered yet when someone annoying showed up.
It was Jack Bowman, that pompous man she’d once met on a blind date.
“Well, well, if it isn’t Miss Prescott,” Jack smirked as he sauntered over, his pack of rowdy buddies trailing behind
him. They all looked like they owned the place. “Out grabbing a meal, huh?”
Jessica couldn't even be bothered to acknowledge him.
Jack plopped himself down beside her, crowding her toward the window. “No need to be so cold. We've had a
meal together before, remember?”
“Move,” Jessica said sharply, her tone as frosty as her expression.
“And what if | don’t?” Jack shot back with a mocking grin.
Jessica narrowed her eyes at him.
He leaned back in his chair, crossing one leg over the other like he had all the tin the world. “I heard you
haven't been staying at hlately.”

“What's that got to do with you?” she snapped, his presence grating on her nerves like a buzzing mosquito. “Get
out of here, or I'm calling security.”
“Go ahead,” he dared her smugly. “Let's see if anyone actually listens.”
Jessica hesitated, and in that instant, she realized the problem. This place probably belonged to Jack or one of his
obnoxious friends. How infuriating.
“I just don’t understand it. Why turndown? We could make a perfect match,” Jack said as he leaned closer,
his attitude completely nonchalant.
Jessica’s appetite vanished. She grabbed her bags and nodded to her friend that it was tto leave.
She fixed her glare on Jack, who was now blocking her path, and said in a firm voice, “Move.”

“What if | don’t? What can you do?” Jack sneered, still trying to provoke her.
Her patience snapped—she kicked him, hard. The impact knocked him off balance, sending him stumbling
backward.
Spoiled his whole life, Jack couldn't handle being embarrassed like that. He barked at his friends, “Stop her!”
In an instant, his cronies encircled Jessica and her friend.
