'Hmph! Does he think he can treat his employee like this just because he's the vice president of the company? It's not like he's the only vice president in the world. I should ask Marcus to quit and go work for Uncle Jeremy!' thought Annie.Aaron must have guessed what she was thinking of because his smile deepened. "Annie, please step into my office for a moment."Annie was a little taken aback. 'This is weird. Did I hear wrong? Why would he ask me to go into his office?'Annie never once turned behind to look at him as she did not want to see him. Without even needing to think twice, she rejected his invitation. "Mister Aaron, I don't work for you anymore. I don't think it's appropriate for me to go into your office.""Have you forgotten you haven't gone through the formal resignation procedures? So technically, you're still an employee here. Now would you step into my office?" he asked sternly."No! I won't. I told you I've quit!"Aaron walked around her so that they would fac

Meanwhile, in Xante's office.Corinne sat at Xante's desk. She looked through financial reports for the past six months and the latest project status updates.Xante had ordered a cup of warm milk for her, and she took it to Corinne after getting it from her secretary. "Here, drink this. The reports can wait.""Okay. Thanks." Corinne's eyes never left the computer screen while she sipped her milk.At that moment, Xante's phone rang, so she walked off a little distance to pick it up. Her expression was riddled with mixed feelings after she hung up. "Umm… Boss?"Corinne kept her eyes on the computer screen. "Yes? Speak!"Xante pushed up her gold-rimmed glasses. "Someone from Holden Group just called.""And what did that person say?""The person in charge said that Mister Jeremy is very happy with the building we've designed and built, so they'd like to work on a project with us again. They have a new project in Southbank and would like us to take over the construction, so he calle

It was not an employee who walked it. It was Sunny!Sunny's reaction at seeing Corinne was even grander than hers. "My god, Corinne, you look like a blimp!"Corinne was speechless. 'Guess he's still the same thoughtless boy six months ago.'Sunny walked up to her to take a closer look. "But you still look cute."Corinne raised an eyebrow. "Don't you have class today?"Sunny shrugged and said haughtily, "I did go to class, but it's lunch break now. I heard Xante is going to pick you up today, so I came to see you."Corinne placed her cup on the table. She then looked at him with narrowed eyes. "Does your family know about you and Xante?"Sunny scratched his head awkwardly. "Uh… Lucas knows about it, but not the others. It's not that I don't want to tell my parents, but Xante wouldn't let me. She said she's not ready to meet the parents yet."Corinne looked at his immature face and instantly worried about leaving Xante with him. "What are you going to do if your family doesn't ap

Xante was not in the mood to talk about what-if scenarios with Sunny. "Let's stop the conversation here. Wait outside for me. I need to discuss something with Corinne."Sunny crossed his arms unhappily. He refused to go outside since he did not see himself as an outsider when it came to Corinne, so he thought he had to listen in on their conversations too.Corinne pretended Sunny did not exist. She turned toward Xante, asking, "What did Holden Group say?""They'll come tomorrow afternoon to go over the details with us."Corinne nodded and stood up. "Noted. Sunny can stay here. I'll go and give you guys some room. Bye."Xante glanced at Sunny and said helplessly, "Boss, you don't have to go. I'll kick him out now."Corinne put up her hand to stop her. "No, it's fine. I'm not leaving because of him. I actually finished what I came here to do. Plus, I'm a little tired now, so I want to go home to take a nap. You two stay and chat, okay?""I'll ask the driver to send you back then,"

Corinne was walking down the last step and saw Jeremy too, but she quickly looked away."Help me thank him for the invitation, but I have something to do later, so I'm afraid I can't join you guys," said Corinne politely.Annie was a little frustrated by the refusal. "Corinne, what's the matter with you? Why won't you at least come have lunch with Uncle Jeremy?"Corinne did not answer her question. She simply smiled and said, "Annie, remember I told you to treat me as a friend and not your aunt?"Annie refused. "But you're still my aunt, right?""Annie, you should just do as she says," said Jeremy coldly. He had his window rolled down again.Annie had no choice but to listen since Jeremy had spoken. She pouted sadly and said, "Okay. Fine. But would you at least have lunch with us? If not, I can get Uncle Jeremy to drop you off at the place you want to go."Corinne shook her head. "No, it's fine."She walked around Annie with the intention to leave."Get in the car, Miss Corin

"Yeah," said Corinne simply.Annie nudged Jeremy with her elbow. "Uncle Jeremy, did you hear that? She was alone for the past six months. Alone!"She had hoped Jeremy would not misunderstand Corinne so they could sit and have a civil conversation after so long of not seeing each other.Jeremy chuckled mockingly. "That's what she said."Annie did not understand what Jeremy meant. 'Why did he say that? Are they really breaking up soon?'Corinne was visibly irked by Jeremy's comment. 'Does he think I'm lying?'Annie was only trying to lighten the mood, but her attempt at making conversation just seemed to make the whole situation even worse. Thus, she decided to be silent.…Meanwhile, back in Xante's office.Xante had asked someone to bring in some snacks for Sunny to keep him occupied while she tried to finish her work. However, she could not sit still after her secretary told her Corinne had gotten into Jeremy's car."What?! Where is Jeremy taking her?" she asked in a panicke

Aaron bolted upright from his seat. "What?! What happened?"Xante was about to tell him Corinne had gotten into Jeremy's car when she noticed how red and swollen Aaron's face was. "What happened to your face?"Aaron touched his burning cheek. "What else? I was slapped by a girl," he said self-deprecatingly."Serves you right," said Xante with disgust.Aaron shrugged. "Well, aren't you going to tell me what happened?""The boss ran into Jeremy downstairs, and he asked her to get into his car. I don't know where they're going now, and she's not picking up my phone.""Why would Jeremy be downstairs?" asked Aaron quizzically."He must've come to pick Annie up, and the boss just happened to be there. He told her to get in so they could end things properly."Aaron's cheek tingled with more pain at the mention of Annie's name as she was the one who slapped him. She gave it her all in that slap, so much so that it caused the corner of Aaron's mouth to bleed. Of course, he wiped away th

Aaron chuckled. "Don't worry! This isn't about you or me."Marcus was even more nervous after he said that. "Then you are calling me because…?""You sound like you're outside. Are you not in the office?" drawled Aaron."It's lunch break, Mister Aaron, so I came out to have lunch.""With your girlfriend?" asked Aaron with a smile."Y…Yes. I'll be sure to get back before lunch break is over."Aaron's smile deepened. "You don't have to be this nervous. I didn't call you to rush you back. But can I ask, which restaurant you guys are going to?"As odd as Marcus thought for Aaron to ask him that question, he did not dare to lie to him, so he looked up at the restaurant signage and read out the name to Aaron.At that moment, Annie turned around and realized Marcus was not following her. She walked back to him and asked, "Marcus, why are you standing here? Uncle Jeremy and Corinne have gone in."Marcus covered his phone and whispered, "I'm on the phone with Mister Aaron now."Annie's

Aaron picked up at the first ring. "What's the matter? Why are you calling me back so soon? You missed me?""Aaron Rhode, what the heck is wrong with you?! Why did you threaten to fire my boyfriend?" said Annie angrily.Aaron was walking to the underground parking and laughed when he heard what Annie said. "Nothing's wrong with me. Just think of this as a little payback for slapping me and calling me a b*stard. You should know I'm the type of person who holds a grudge against those who wronged me."Annie frowned. "I slapped you because you were playing with my feelings! And even if it was because of that, you should come at me instead of my boyfriend! He's innocent in all of this."Aaron chuckled. "Well, how I plan to exact my revenge is really up to me now, isn't it? Anyway, I won't bother you lovebirds now. See you later."After that, he hung up the phone.Annie was furious. She regretted ever liking a hypocrite like Aaron!'Wait a minute. Did he say see you later? He must be

Meanwhile, Corinne and Jeremy were led to their table by the restaurant's manager.The manager pulled her chair out for her, but since she was in the eighth month of her pregnancy, the gap between the chair and the table was still a little too narrow for her to fit in. She tried a few times to sit but to no avail. She reached out her hand and intended to pull back the chair further.However, before her hand even touched the chair, Jeremy pulled out the chair for her.Stunned, she looked up at him.Even though she still did not like him, she still thanked him politely.Jeremy did not spare her a glance or say anything. He simply walked over to the seat across from her and sat.The day before, the two of them sat down across from each other at the dining table and had a meal in the same way. At the time, she wore a mask and thought she got away with it, so she ate her meal without any worries.This time, it was different. She was sitting across from Jeremy, mask-free, so it would b
