"Why would you play the ukulele for them, then?"Corinne pursed her lips. "You think I wanted to play for them? Some of the girls accused me of having an affair with the dean, which caused a misunderstanding among the students. The culprits will only apologize if I play the ukulele, so I had to put on a good performance! I respect the dean very much, so it's important to me that his name isn't tarnished."After hearing that, Jeremy turned to gaze intently at her before leaning closer all of a sudden. "Why didn't you clarify to them about me?"Corinne was startled when his handsome face, which looked attractive from every angle, leaned over so suddenly. Her breathing stopped, and she wondered to herself, 'What is he doing?!'"Ahem! Clarify what, exactly?"Jeremy's charmingly enigmatic eyes seemed to drag people deep into the depths of an abyss. He lowered his body even more as he said, "Clarify that I'm not some sugar daddy but your husband instead."The word 'husband' made Corinn
Sherlyn's shocked tone prompted Marvin and Lilliana to look out of the car window together.Lilliana rolled her eyes and said, "Look, Marvin! That is Corinne! Is that man her partner? Corinne's a young woman, and it's already very late. Why is she wandering around outside with a man? That's not very good, is it?"Marvin frowned in displeasure, firstly because of how inappropriate it was for his daughter Corinne to be alone with a man at such a late hour, and secondly because he saw Corinne walking into the train station entrance with that man. From his angle, all they could see was the man's back profile and not his face. However, Marvin, Lilliana, and Sherlyn had only one word for that man—poor.Sherlyn sighed and pretended to be worried for them as she said, "Dad, why did Corinne get a boyfriend who goes around using the train? She's not showing any improvement over the men that Mom introduced to her before. Those men all have houses and cars!"Lilliana joined in with her daughte
Jeremy was not angry, though. He curled his lips into a slight smile and followed Corinne in. After a while, Tommy called back, "Sir, I've found it! You should buy a ticket to—""It's been settled," Jeremy replied, then hung up without waiting for Tommy to finish.Tommy was left in a daze on the other end of the line, and he did not know what to think after what happened....Corinne walked slowly as she led Jeremy to the waiting area, and she could not help but laugh when she saw him hang up on Tommy.When the man heard her giggles, he stared at her coldly and asked, "What are you laughing at?"Corinne smiled and said, "I was wondering if rich people like you will end up forgetting how to live if you go bankrupt."Jeremy frowned. "You enjoy making fun of me?"Corinne could not bother to show him any courtesy and nodded honestly. "Yeah! I just took a picture of you standing helplessly in front of the ticket vending machine. I'm going to show it to Grandma once we're home!"Blu
Corinne shut her eyes momentarily as though tired. The exhausted expression made her endearing face look stern.She said, "Mister, I hope we'll have more trust for each other. You don't have to be so guarded and fear I'd cheat on you. Please give me some space! I told you I'd never have an affair before the three months are over. Just trust me on that!"Jeremy looked at her unblinkingly. "You thought I was worried about you?"Corinne looked up, tilted her head, and looked at him with her widened eyes. "What else could it be? You wouldn't have gone to the party ground that's not even to your liking, and you wouldn't have come into the room to check on mine and embarrass my classmate if you weren't worried about me!"Jeremey said faintly, "Miss Carew, please remember about our partnership. Inevitably, I hold partial responsibility for your safety during these three months. I'm not suspecting you, but the things that have me worrying are those male classmates around you. Can't you tel
Despite having lost a section of her memory, Corinne did not bother too much about it. It only bothered her that she still had not changed out of her clothes after having been outside, and she had not even showered. The feeling discomforted her.Thus, she groggily got up from the bed and took out a set of clean clothes from the wardrobe. She pushed open the bathroom door and entered—There was steam in the bathroom, and the water was running. The bathroom was warm too.'Did I turn on the water for the bathtub when I came back and forgot to turn it off?' she thought.She curiously entered to check the bathtub when all of a sudden, the visual of a naked man with broad shoulders, a slim waist, and a muscular frame greeted her eyes.The bathing man turned to look back when he heard shuffling behind him. At that moment, they made eye contact.One's eyes were vicious and sharp, and the other's were surprised and ashamed.With the sight snapping her entirely out of her drowsiness, she
The maid stopped and answered, "Madam Pamela is leaving, ma'am."'Grandma is leaving?' thought Corinne.She began fearing for the worst, worried that what Francine did yesterday had scarred Pamela. Just then, she heard her calling her name softly."Corinne."She looked up and saw Pamela walking over slowly to her."Grandma, I heard that you're leaving," Corinne said.Pamela smiled kindly and sighed helplessly. "That's right. I need to go back to your grandfather. That stubborn old man refused to listen, even after he had just had his operation. He doesn't follow the doctor's orders when I'm not around, so I need to go back and keep an eye on him.""I see." Once Corinne knew that was the reason why Pamela had to go back, she knew better than to ask her to stay longer. "Grandma, you have to look after yourself too. Have a safe journey home."Pamela nodded and held Corinne's hand softly. "Corinne, I know you've been through a lot after you married Jeremy. Francine had gone too far
When Tommy parked the car, he received a call. His face immediately looked solemn."I'll be there right away!"He hung up the phone and said apologetically, "Miss Carew, I have an urgent matter to attend to, so I can't go in with you. Please head inside and look for Mister Feldman. Tell him I sent you, and he'll arrange your job for you."Corinne nodded and showed an 'okay' gesture before getting out of the car.Tommy drove off quickly at a fast speed.Corinne watched as the car disappeared. She raised her brow lazily and wondered what this supposed urgent matter was about. 'Did something happen to Mister?'…The subsidiary company under Holden Group was an entertainment agency. Corinne walked into the lobby and informed the front desk of her reason for being there.The receptionist took a look at her and called Mister Feldman to verify."Miss Carew, please follow me." The receptionist then led Corinne to Mister Feldman's office."Miss Carew, Mister Feldman is having a meetin
Corinne smiled faintly. "I am going to work here.""Work here? Aren't you working as a nanny with a rich employer?" Sherlyn asked."My employer seldom comes back home, and there's nothing much to do there. I thought I'd do a part-time job to earn more money," Corinne explained.Sherlyn examined Corinne contemptuously. She sneered when she saw how dreadful Corinne looked just to make more money. "Geez, you need a part-time job to make money? Guess your rich employer isn't paying you a lot."Corinne nodded. "It's not a lot.""What's wrong, Sherlyn? Why are you standing at the door? Aren't you going to take your magazine cover?" a kind middle-aged man's voice came out of the office.Sherlyn looked back and smiled shyly at the middle-aged man. "Mister Feldman, I was just about to leave, but someone is blocking the door.""Blocking the door? Let me see who dares to block your way." Mister Feldman walked out to take a look.He put on a look like he was about to scold his foolish subo
