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
With that thought in Sherlyn's mind, she quickly went in and interrupted their conversation."Mister Feldman, is she looking for a job? Why don't you let her work with me? The position for my assistant is vacant."Mister Feldman looked troubled with that suggestion. "Uhh, well…"Considering Tommy was the one who sent Corinne to him, he did not think it was suitable to let Corinne work as an assistant for a celebrity, a job that required Corinne to take care of another person."Sherlyn, I know you mean well, but I don't think that's possible. Miss Carew here is—""How much is the salary as an assistant?" interjected Corinne.Mister Feldman was baffled by this, weirded out by her demeanor. 'How is she not interested in being a glamorous celebrity and is instead interested in being the assistant to a celebrity?'Sherlyn glanced at Corinne and said proudly, "You can get around four hundred fifty to six hundred dollars per month if you work as my assistant. Don't worry, I'm not going
Sherlyn gave Corinne a look. Just as she was about to scold Corinne again, the ringing of her phone stopped her.It was a video call from their father, Marvin.Sherlyn rolled her eyes and waved the phone at Corinne haughtily, showing off. "Look at this. Daddy is calling me! I bet you hardly receive any calls from him at all. It just shows he never cares about you!"Corinne smiled nonchalantly. "If you're not going to pick up, your daddy dearest is going to hang up."Sherlyn snorted. She answered the call and put it on speaker mode, intending for Corinne to hear their conversation.Marvin and Lilliana were on the other side of the call. Both of them looked at their favorite celebrity daughter happily. "Sherlyn, how's work today?" asked Marvin, concerned. "Have you eaten?"Sherlyn pouted and cutely replied, "No, not yet, Daddy. I'm so busy with work that I don't have the time to eat."Marvin frowned. "That's not good. No matter how busy you are, you have to eat. You need to take c
During the shooting for the magazine cover in the afternoon, Sherlyn started her act.She made many requests with Corinne. Either she asked Corinne to buy something for her or asked her to fetch her stuff. She repeated this countless times to torment Corinne.However, Corinne had long expected this from Sherlyn. She was not surprised at all and calmly acted. She had fast legs and treated Sherlyn's torment as a way to train her body.In fact, the pay was not the reason for her to agree to be Sherlyn's assistant. She wanted to see how Sherlyn and Lilliana managed to switch up the situation.According to her understanding and assumption, she believed Sherlyn and Lilliana had done something pretty dirty to achieve their purpose. It would be easier to investigate if she could remain with Sherlyn all the time.The sky had darkened by the time shooting was wrapped up. Corinne did not have the intention to get in Sherlyn's car and was going to hail a cab to head back to the Holdens' estat
