Only Annie would speak a few words with Tommy from time to ease the awkward, cold atmosphere.
…
The car arrived at the Levine family mansion, and because Annie was sitting in the middle, Corinne consciously got out of the car to make way for her.
Annie got out of the car and asked Corinne and Jeremy if they wanted to head inside for a moment and sit. Both of them declined the invitation unanimously.
The difference was only that Jeremy refused directly, and Corinne was a little more hesitant.
Annie had no choice but to reluctantly say goodbye to Corinne before she obediently walked back into her home.
Corinne got into the car again, still seated near the window as she put on her earphones and continued to close her eyes and rest.
The man finally spoke and asked her in a calm tone, "What are you listening to?"
Corinne closed her eyes and simply answered, "A song."
"What song is it?"
"A pop song."
"..." Jeremy's eyes darkened, his jaw tightened, and he stopped talking.
Corinne
