As Jeremy closed in on her, Corinne's bright eyes shifted awkwardly. "Because I hate the smell of cigarettes!"Jeremy frowned, bending over to lean closer toward her. He exhaled a puff of smoke above her head as if he was bullying her, then said with a slightly mocking tone, "If you hate the smell of cigarettes, stay away from me."Upon saying that, he put out his cigarette by rubbing it against the wall behind Corinne, then he threw it into the trash can in front of him, hitting a bullseye.Corinne hugged the wall as she walked, to begin with, so after Jeremy stopped her and closed in on her, she leaned back until there was no way she could retreat anymore.At that moment, Corinne was almost completely in the man's arms with her back against the wall and his arm above her head. She frowned, exhibiting resistance, and glared at the man unhappily, "How am I supposed to stay away from you with you being like this? Please move, Mister Jeremy, and I'll certainly stay away from you!"T
Upon saying that, the man turned around, got into the car that slowly followed behind him, and left.It was after Aaron saw Jeremy's car disappearing at the end of the street that he looked at Corinne, asking seriously, "Boss, what happened? Why did Jeremy take you home again? Also, you said some people with ill intentions wanted to attack you just now. Is that true?"Corinne felt relieved after Jeremy left, but she was not completely relaxed. She waved her hand in exhaustion and said, "It's a long story! I'm tired. Let's talk after I take a rest at home for a while!"…At that same time, Tommy sat in the front passenger seat of the moving car, turning his head to look at Jeremy at the back, who looked sullen. Tommy felt so pressured that he did not dare to say anything.However, when Jeremy got out of the car to save Corinne, he forgot his phone in the car. Annie happened to call at that time, and Tommy was afraid that it was an emergency, so he answered the call for Jeremy.Tom
"Mom, you know how dispirited Uncle Jeremy was for the past month or so! She finally found Corinne after searching so hard for a month, we can't be a burden to Uncle Jeremy. If Corinne ran off because of our poor hospitality, then Uncle Jeremy is going to be very pitiful!"Annie's mother smiled helplessly and lovingly, "Alright, stop nagging! I know you feel sorry for your uncle. I will treat Corinne cordially!"Annie smiled, feeling happy. "That's right!"At that moment, she heard the sound of a car pulling into the front yard. She got so excited that she let go of her mother's hand. "Mom! That must be Uncle Jeremy and Corinne! Hurry up and prepare more food. I'll first go out to greet them!"Upon saying that, Annie ran with excitement.Annie's mother shook her head while smiling helplessly, then she returned to the kitchen to prepare food with the housekeeper.When Annie rushed out to the front yard, Jeremy just got out of the car after the driver respectfully opened the door f
"Miss Annie, Miss Corinne is someone else's wife right now, so it's not appropriate for Mister Jeremy to make any moves on her or have any relations with her anymore. Don't mention her after you go inside later, got it?""What?" Annie was so shocked, she stood up, forgetting that she was in a car. She instantly bumped her head against the roof of the car and she let out a small cry in pain.Tommy was speechless when he saw that. "Miss Annie, are you alright?"Feeling irritated, Annie rubbed her head which was in pain. She could not be bothered about the pain anymore as she asked anxiously, "How could Corinne be someone else's wife? She hasn't gotten a divorce from Uncle Jeremy, has she? How could she marry someone else?"Tommy sighed helplessly. "It's like this. Miss Corinne and Mister Jeremy were never officially married back then. Mister Jeremy only wanted to get married back then to brush off his grandfather. Therefore, there's no such thing as a divorce."Annie looked resentfu
When it got to Annie's turn, she entered the room for the interview at the Human Resources Department and greeted the three interviewers. She introduced herself, then sat down, waiting for their questions.The three interviewers looked at her beautiful resume, then looked at each other as if they found it a little surprising.After that, the interviewer sitting in the middle looked up at Anne's outstanding image, asking with slight confusion, "The previous company you've worked for is the Holden Group?"Annie nodded. "Yes!""You were able to work at such a good company like the Holden Group, so why did you resign?"Annie smiled and said, "Nothing in particular. I just felt I didn't have a future there. I wanted to try a new job and challenge myself."Her words made the three interviewers even more confused. Holden Group was known for being a company that was hard to join and had great benefits, yet there was someone who felt that she did not have a future working in the company.
All three of the interviewers remaining in the room just looked at each other."I feel this girl is a little suspicious!""She's most probably another girl who's here for the vice president.""Maybe. Mister Aaron has always been a chick magnet!""There's a lot of girls who came to get a job here for the sake of getting close to Mister Aaron, but she's the only one who's even willing to be cleaner!"…At the same time, Corinne came to the Rivera Group to work on time as well that day, and she spent the whole morning preparing the sales plan for the quarter. After she was done, she brought the sales proposal into Lucas's office.There was already a new secretary at the entrance of the office. She was a young and fine girl, and she was slacking off and scrolling on her phone.Corinne went over and asked naturally, "Is Mister Lucas in?"Regaining her senses, the new secretary quickly put her phone down and stood up. However, once she saw that it was Corinne, she immediately looked
While accepting the document from Corinne, Lucas shot a cold glance at his brother. "Do your work."Having been scolded by his brother, Sunny lowered his head sullenly to continue working on the specimen paper, not daring to make another sound.Lucas skimmed through the sales proposal Corinne prepared, looking slightly dazed. After that, he squinted as if he seemed to be impressed by her business acumen.After a moment, he raised his eyebrow, looking at her slightly suspiciously. "You did this yourself?"Corinne nodded. "Yes, Mister Lucas. I had some ideas after doing market research with Mister Jason yesterday, so I did this sales proposal for you to have a look at. If there's no problem with it, I'll implement this plan."Lucas sneered while surveying her. "It's not bad, but it's unnecessary!"Corinne frowned. "Why?"Lucas closed the file and tossed it aside. "Food products are just an extremely small business to the company. We're not expecting to make a name for ourselves w
Corinne wanted to ignore them, so she automatically walked past them."Corinne!" Anya called out to her in a gentle voice.Corinne stopped in her tracks, turning her face. "Is something up again, Miss Anya?"She was mocking her by adding the word "again," insinuating that she did plenty in the past. It also had a tinge of warning implied, telling her she better not create trouble again! Anya came to Corinne with a smile as pure as the driven snow, then deliberately asked, "Corinne, why did you ignore me when you saw me?"What was there for them to talk about after Anya framed Corinne yesterday?Corinne pursed her lips. "No, it's just that I saw you and Mister Lucas' secretary were having an enjoyable conversation, so I didn't want to interject.""Oh, I see!" Anya's pure smile got broader. She took a step closer and tip-toed to reach Corinne's ear as Corinne was taller than her. Then, she spoke in a voice so soft that only Corinne could hear, "Corinne, you won yesterday! However
