The shift didn’t happen all at once.
It happened slowly, then suddenly.
First, it was a blurry photo of Cameron sitting in the café — alone — sipping an iced chai. Nothing incriminating, nothing dramatic. But the caption underneath read:
IS CAMERON CROSS DATING A BARISTA?
Then came another photo — Jayla’s silhouette behind the counter, her face hidden behind a tray of drinks but her figure captured well enough for the internet to grab onto.
WHO IS THE MYSTERY WOMAN?
Jayla found out the next morning when a regular slid his phone across the counter with a sympathetic wince.
“Sorry… thought you should see this.”
She read it twice.
Her stomach dropped.
The comments were worse:
Typical. They always fall for the “humble girl” trope.
Probably after his money.
She looks older in this
