"Moon has her reasons for that, and I am in no position to divulge anything," said Xante.Jeremy chuckled coldly. "Seems to me that Newmoon Group isn't sincere in accepting Holden Group's project. No pressure, then."As he said that, he placed down the coffee cup and stood up immediately after.Meanwhile, Corinne could hear the entire conversation from inside the lounge. Jeremy sounded incredibly dissatisfied, and she knew that his patience was always limited.If he left, then they would stand to lose the 150-million-dollar project!As Corinne was frantically finding a way to handle it, she saw a pile of equipment in the corner of the lounge. Aaron was the one who had bought them, and there seemed to be something like a gas mask in the pile."Mister Jeremy, please wait!"Jeremy, who had walked to the door of the office, stopped when he heard the voice and slowly turned around to look over. His charming eyes narrowed when he saw who it was.Xante turned her head to look in the d

The smile on Sherlyn's face froze when Jeremy did not even react to her enthusiastic explanation. His expression was stern and indifferent, which came off as intimidating.Sherlyn did not try to force a conversation with him, so she eased some of her embarrassment by turning to ask Xante. "Where is my assistant, Miss Xante? I need her to carry something for me!"Xante seemed to have a bad feeling about how the situation was developing, but she adjusted her gold-rimmed glasses calmly and said lightly, "Your assistant has just left, Miss Sherlyn."Sherlyn frowned in dissatisfaction. "She left?! Where the hell did she go? How dare she run off without even waiting for me to come back!"Xante smiled politely and said indifferently, "I'm not privy to that, I'm afraid."Sherlyn was already pissed that Corinne was requested to speak in a private discussion, and that anger only escalated when Corinne just left without saying a word. She immediately took out her cell phone and called Corinn

Chapter 153

Aaron was a handsome man, while Corinne was a beautiful woman, and they made for a rather attractive pair.A look of gloom and envy flashed across Sherlyn's eyes when she saw Corinne walking side-by-side with Aaron, Newmoon Group's vice president. She was forced to be friendly to Corinne in front of three big shots, but she still asked in a rather insinuative tone, "Where did you run off to, Corinne?"Corinne came over and replied earnestly, "I went to look for the restroom but couldn't find it. I bumped into Mister Aaron here and asked him to lead me there."Sherlyn glared gloomily at Corinne, then turned to Aaron before saying politely, "Mister Aaron, I'm really sorry that my assistant caused you trouble."Aaron curled his lips into a smile. "It was no trouble at all. I just happened to be on my way to the restroom too, so I might as well help her out."Sherlyn smiled dryly, and she was quite displeased that Corinne was able to run into Aaron all by herself.Corinne asked obedi

Aaron sighed helplessly and said, "She crawled out of the office window and came in through the restroom window. It's that simple."Xante frowned even more. "But this is the thirtieth floor!"Aaron shrugged and said, "My rock-climbing gear is still in the lounge, and it just so happened to come in handy. It's not difficult for her at all, considering the kind of skills she has."Xante took off her gold-rimmed glasses and massaged her eyebrows. "And who's that in the office?""Your secretary. The boss told her to put on the mask, change into her clothes, and just sit there to act like she's busy.""... How very smart!"Aaron narrowed his eyes thoughtfully. "Why do you think the boss is so averse to Jeremy discovering that she's Moon?"Xante glanced at him and reminded, "She has her reasons. It's not our place to make any guesses."Aaron stroked his chin and thought for a while. "I can hardly believe that Jeremy isn't attracted to her at all. I'm going to test him!"Xante had a

Jeremy narrowed his handsome eyes at Corinne and had a subtle smirk on the corners of his lips....The elevator doors opened, and Jeremy strode out with his hands in his trouser pockets. Tommy followed closely behind.Sherlyn dragged Corinne out and chased after them for fear that Jeremy would leave and forget that they were supposed to have lunch."Miss Carew! Please wait!" After hearing someone calling her all of a sudden, Sherlyn stopped and turned her head to see that Aaron—vice president of Newmoon Group—had rushed out of the elevator on the other side and looked at her with a smile on her face.Sherlyn turned around confidently and asked with a smile, "Mister Aaron! Why did you take the effort to come all the way down and look for me? Is it about the ambassadorship? Is there anything else you need to explain?"Aaron glanced at her only briefly and looked directly over her at Corinne. "I'm not here for you. I was looking for that Miss Carew."The expression on Sherlyn's fa

"Anything's fine." Jeremy's cold tone suggested a clear disinterest in having lunch, though he did not refuse outright.Sherlyn did not think much of the man's cold attitude and was so beside herself with excitement that she was able to have lunch with a man of Jeremy's status."Let's go to The Wild Bites. They serve some really good food there!"The Wild Bites was one of the best high-end restaurants in the city, and the price was very expensive too. Sherlyn would never be willing to have a meal there if she was not treating a big shot like Jeremy to a meal.Jeremy acknowledged her decision expressionlessly and turned to walk toward the lobby entrance.As Sherlyn followed Jeremy, she turned around and called out angrily to Corinne, "Hurry up! Don't waste any more time! Do you expect Mister Jeremy to wait for you?"Corinne frowned helplessly and hastened her footsteps to follow up. Since Aaron had picked them up when they came and Corinne did not drive over, it was logical for th

Once Corinne sat back properly, Sherlyn no longer dared to pull any tricks on her for fear that it would have the unintended result of causing Corinne to take the opportunity to lean on Jeremy.Sherlyn was beyond angry. 'You're such a shameless little b*tch, Corinne! You take every single chance to get close to men!'The Wild Bites, the restaurant that Sherlyn chose, was situated in the city center and was only a 10-minute drive away. When they walked into the restaurant, the server led them to their table.Sherlyn stood up gracefully once more and said, "Go ahead and order, Mister Jeremy. I'll be right back after I go to the restroom."Jeremy nodded casually, and his indifferent eyes barely glanced at her for a second.Sherlyn then turned to Corinne and said, "Come and keep me company, Corinne!" Her request to Corinne was merely an excuse to avoid allowing Corinne to seduce Jeremy in her absence.Corinne nodded indifferently and got up to follow her....Inside the restroom, S

As soon as Corinne snapped back to her senses, she turned around to discover that Jeremy had appeared behind her at some point and was staring at her gloomily.Corinne felt an inexplicably strong chill down her spine, and she subconsciously ended the call."Just a friend!" she replied curtly and placed the cell phone back into her pocket.Jeremy raised his hand and spread his large palm in front of her. "Give me the phone." He was acting like a high school principal who was doing his rounds and wanted to confiscate a student's cell phone.Corinne froze for a moment and frowned unhappily. She felt that he was making a mountain out of a molehill, but she did not want to argue with him there. After giving his request a bit of thought, she took out her phone and handed it to him.Jeremy took the phone and tried to swipe it open, but as soon as he saw that the screen was locked, he said coldly, "What's the password?"Corinne refused. "This concerns my privacy, and I have the right not

Jeremy merely glanced coldly at Corinne. As he held her cell phone up high, he slid his long thumb across the screen and accepted the call before putting it on speaker.Aaron spoke gently from the other end of the line and said, "Why did you hang up on me all of a sudden when you called me earlier?"Corinne was speechless.Jeremy stared at the guilty-looking Corinne. "Is this the friend you spoke of?"Corinne did not respond to him. 'We're friends and he's my subordinate, but it's just not that convenient to tell you!'Luckily for her, she did not save Aaron's number, or Xante's for that matter. She had long committed them to memory, and as long as Aaron did not let anything slip about their relationship, Jeremy would be none the wiser as to her long-standing friendship with Aaron."Why aren't you saying anything, Miss Corinne? Where are you? Should I come and look for you right now?" Aaron asked earnestly and enthusiastically once again.Jeremy's handsome eyes narrowed and he s

Corinne went on to say, "Honestly, you've never believed in me at all! You asked Tommy to make arrangements for my job just so you could keep me in a place that you can control. That way, you can always know what I'm doing and whether I cheated on you, right?"Jeremy stared at her with a dark and gloomy gaze. For the time being at least, he was noncommittal over her remark."I'm just a passer-by who will exist for only three months in your magnificent life, Mister. Please don't try to control me! If you don't believe in me, I can always swear to you!"After saying that, Corinne raised her hand firmly and vowed, "I, Corinne, swear to God almighty, that I'll never do anything out of line and cheat on Mister Jeremy Holden. May lightning strike me and kill me if I go back on my promise!" After swearing categorically, she placed her hand down and headed for the direction of the door.Just as she put her hand on the doorknob and opened it, Jeremy's big palm pushed it shut from behind."
