Chapter 169: Chapter 169
Besides the immense popularity of this topic, Cameron Grant also gave it a slight nudge from behind.
He invested five million out of pocket, with the request to update the software version and fix system vulnerabilities.
So, when everyone could log into their accounts again, the hype around the Savannah couple had already died down, and many bot accounts were retracted.
Cameron Grant also saw the interactions between Dylan Quinn and Quinn Lockwood on the show, and the way he looked at his sister made his feelings even more complicated.
The next day, Quinn Lockwood was in the dressing room at her talent agency, carefully studying her schedule when a pair of slender, jade-like, cool hands quietly covered her eyes.
Quinn Lockwood’s first reaction was utter confusion. Who on earth would dare tease her ?
But this action could only be done by someone on familiar terms with her, right? Holding back her urge to question the person, Quinn Lockwood lifted her small hand to feel the back of the other person’s hand. So tender, and so cold, but judging by the size... it must be a man. ʀᴇᴀᴅ ʟᴀᴛᴇsᴛ ᴄʜᴀᴘᴛᴇʀs ᴀᴛ novelFɪre.net
But who could it be in the company, was it Dylan?
She took a deep sniff, and instead of the fragrance of gardenias, she smelled a fresh and elegant woody scent...
Seizing the moment when the person relaxed slightly, Quinn Lockwood grabbed his hand and stood up to look at him.
"Brother... ah, Cameron Grant, why are you here?" Quinn Lockwood’s eyes widened in surprise as she saw Cameron Grant. Although a fleeting thought had darted through her mind that it might be her brother, seeing Cameron Grant in person felt still quite incredible.
"I’m here to bring you breakfast. You probably haven’t had time to eat yet, have you?" Cameron Grant gently scratched the tip of Quinn Lockwood’s nose, his eyes and eyebrows filled with a gentle smile.
Quinn Lockwood patted her stomach; she indeed hadn’t had breakfast, and she was starving!
Looking at the shaomai in Cameron Grant’s hands, she couldn’t help but swallow her saliva.
Ah, brother always takes such good care of me, knowing I skipped breakfast and specially coming to bring me food.
"So, Cameron... I mean, let’s go to the lounge." Enticed by the aroma of meat, Quinn Lockwood’s stomach began to growl. She couldn’t resist pulling Cameron Grant towards the lounge.
Since she’s been hiding her identity as a Lowell heiress, addressing Cameron Grant as her brother naturally wasn’t possible at the company. But calling him by his name directly felt rather odd as well.
"You can just call me Cameron; it won’t sound so stiff that way, right?" Cameron Grant opened all the lunch boxes and even mixed Quinn Lockwood’s coffee for her, then sat opposite her to accompany her while she ate breakfast.
"Try this." Picking up the most tender piece of meat, Cameron Grant offered it to Quinn Lockwood.
Without a second thought, Quinn Lockwood opened her mouth and took the meat, giving a thumbs-up gesture to show her approval.
"It’s delicious, Cameron, you should try some too." With that, she also picked up a nicely presented piece of meat and offered it to Cameron Grant.
Seeing her actions, Cameron Grant was momentarily stunned, then the corners of his mouth lifted slightly, his gentle eyes carrying a mesmerizing softness.
After finishing breakfast, Quinn Lockwood patted her stomach contentedly.
"Savannah, you have something here." Cameron Grant pointed to the left side of his lips as he looked at Quinn Lockwood, only to see her blankly patting the right side of her face, which made him burst into laughter.
Leaning in slightly, Cameron Grant used his fair fingers to gently wipe the grease off her cheek.
Seeing the shiny grease on Cameron Grant’s hand, Quinn Lockwood felt extremely embarrassed. Her brother truly did not mind using his hand to wipe it off for her.
Taking out a wet wipe from her bag, Quinn Lockwood extended her hand, signaling him to place his hand on it. Seeing Cameron Grant’s confused look, she sighed helplessly and grabbed his hand to help wipe off the grease.
The warmth and softness beneath his palm made Cameron Grant’s fingertips contract slightly. Looking into Quinn Lockwood’s bright, yet gentle almond eyes, he couldn’t help but feel truly captivated.
Cameron Grant’s heart involuntarily sped up, and he even wanted to hold Quinn Lockwood’s small hand tightly.
"All done, Cameron, thank you so much." Quinn Lockwood flashed a sweet smile at Cameron Grant, and a warm current surged through her heart.
Feeling the delicate touch at his fingertips disappearing, Cameron Grant suddenly felt an emptiness in his heart.
After Cameron Grant left, Quinn Lockwood proceeded to her next audition. Due to her rising popularity, more and more agencies were approaching her with offers for endorsements and scripts, causing Anna to become more selective and particular.
Even with meticulously chosen selections, everyone working with Quinn Lockwood was so busy that one would wish for additional hands to help share the workload.
By evening, Quinn Lockwood was still working and was in the middle of an interview with a Neo Entertainment Media reporter.
"Mr. Lowell, now many female fans are calling you ’boyfriend.’ Do you have anything to say to these ’girlfriends’?"
Quinn Lockwood scratched her head, looking a bit sheepish. She didn’t understand how she had become the ’boyfriend’ when she was clearly a vivacious and beautiful girl!
"Uh, I’d love to be your boyfriend, but with so many girlfriends, I worry making only carrot soup won’t be enough."
"But don’t worry, I’m willing to learn how to make more soups and delicious dishes for you all."
This segment, as soon as it was broadcast, won over the hearts of many ’girlfriends,’ each one screaming excitedly in front of their TVs and computers.
"Oh my, so flirtatious, love it to bits."
"Simply the ultimate heartthrob, I’m in pieces."
The hype around Quinn Lockwood on social media was not inferior to the rising idol Dylan Quinn.
Stepping out of the live studio, Quinn Lockwood saw Cameron Grant waiting for her.
"You’ve really worked hard, haven’t rested all this time." Cameron Grant looked at Quinn Lockwood with heartfelt concern, gently stroking her hair.
"Ah? Brother... Cameron, have you been waiting long? I..." Quinn Lockwood lowered her eyes, seemingly a bit apologetic.
Seeing her slightly deflated mood, Cameron Grant quickly pinched her cheek playfully, raising the bag he was carrying. "Savannah, I’ve brought more goodies for you."
The talent agency staff didn’t know the relationship between Cameron Grant and Quinn Lockwood. Seeing him appear twice in a day just to bring food to Quinn Lockwood, they all assumed he was pursuing her.
"Do you know who this guy is?" Ivy and a few others gathered, sneaking glances toward the lounge.
"I find him very familiar, must have seen him somewhere." Grace pondered for a while, still unable to figure it out, so she continued to analyze, "Look at him, dignified and handsome, with refined and elegant manners. And judging by his outfit and demeanor, he must be someone of status."
