Joanna felt that Corinne was very optimistic, and by contrast, she was already prepared for the worse. She had spent a whole month preparing for that project. Alas, she had to face the depressing fact that there was no way for her to retrieve it. There was nothing she could do to change the situation either.With a sigh, Joanna went to the pantry. "Do your best, Corinne. I'll make you a cup of coffee to boost your concentration.""Thanks!" Corinne replied. At the same time, a red progress bar appeared on the black computer screen.Once the progress bar was full, Corinne immediately cracked the password. She clicked open a hidden dialog box and tapped away on the keyboard. Then, she hit [Enter] and sent her message.[What kind of grudges do you hold?]The hacker was shocked and replied, [Who are you? How were you able to bypass the AJ League's ultimate encryption system?]Corinne's fingers danced across the keyboard. [My identity isn't the main issue here. The main issue is why
Zoey stared at the Mercedes-Benz that slowly drove off. In a fit of jealousy, she returned to the company and cooked up wild stories with her colleagues."Do any of you know why Corinne could leave without hesitation? Turns out, she's a sugar baby to a rich old man! She doesn't need to care whether or not she has a job!"'Sugar baby?' The employees were intrigued by the gossip, and they all surrounded Zoey to find out what was going on.Zoey described the situation with a generous amount of exaggeration. "Out of the kindness of my heart, I decided to head down and return the stuff that Corinne left behind. You won't believe what I saw. She was sitting on the lap of some fat old man inside a luxurious car! I don't think I need to explain what she was doing, right?""An old man, you say? How old is old?""Over sixty, I guess.""Whoa, there. Isn't that old enough to be her grandfather? I didn't expect Corinne to be such a degenerate!""Tsk, tsk, tsk! Just goes to show you can't jud
Tommy looked awkward sitting in the front passenger seat. He motioned for the driver to pull over and told the driver to get down with him. He then consciously maintained a distance from her so as not to appear discourteous.Corinne sullenly held the hem of the big white T-shirt with both hands and slowly began pulling it up.Jeremy rested his forehead lazily on his knuckles. His indifferent gaze fell on her, and there was a hint of playfulness in the depths of his handsome eyes.-Back at Alpha Enterprises, Richard—the general manager—was severely reprimanded by his boss Alfred because of letting his relative in without a proper recruitment process. Alfred gave him an ultimatum, too; if he failed to figure out a way to recoup that day's losses and there was a resulting failure to reach a cooperation with the Holdens in that project, he would have to pack up and leave like his idiot of a relative, Zoe.Richard was in a state of desperation, so he drove out to get in touch with h
Corinne had put Jeremy's T-shirt back on, but she doubled up with the jacket he had given her because she felt a little cold after letting in some outside air through the window."I heard you're fired?" Corinne heard Jeremy's deep voice as she stared aimlessly at the passing scenery outside the car window.Corinne's lips twitched. "Yup, and it's all thanks to you."Jeremy flipped through the documents in his hand. "I gave the company a chance, yet there were still mistakes. According to my standards, such a plan doesn’t have any investment value."Corinne yawned, evidently because she was a little sleepy. "Oh, you don't need to tell me why, mister. After all, I'm no longer an employee of Alpha Enterprises."Jeremy was speechless for a moment. He continued flipping through the documents and said in a casual tone, "If you're looking for a company to do your internship, then—""Stop the car!" Corinne interrupted Jeremy and craned her head out of the car window. Her eyes were sparkli
Sherlyn grabbed the jacket in a hurry and asked, "Be honest, Corinne. Where did you get this suit jacket? How did you even get to know a man who could wear something so expensive?"Corinne glanced disapprovingly at the clothes. "Is it expensive? Some man 'kindly' lent it to me. It's not like I know him well, though."Sherlyn could tell that Corinne was probably telling the truth since Corinne never saw much of the world before. Sherlyn then made a snide remark, saying, "Someone like you can't be acquainted with a man who could wear such a high-end jacket! You'd better return it after you have it washed."Don't think too highly of yourself and try to climb up the social ladder. Men with decent taste will never take a liking to a bumpkin like you!"Corinne chuckled nonchalantly. "By the way, you haven't answered my earlier question. Where's your husband?"Sherlyn's face darkened in an instant. Seeing as Corinne appeared to be in the dark over the details, she put on a haughty demean
Sherlyn said, "My sister's name is—"Francine suddenly caught a whiff of the excessive perfume on Sherlyn's person and retched. When one of the maids saw that, she pushed Sherlyn out of the way and said, "Move aside! Our young miss doesn't have the time to talk to you right now!""Miss, are you okay?"Francine had retched to the point of collapse, and she required the help of the maids before going in.Sherlyn was incredibly annoyed that she was pushed aside before even getting her questions answered. Unfortunately, she did not dare to mess with whoever lived there.The Holdens' driver lowered the window and gave her a word of advice. "Just leave. You shouldn't be poking your nose around a place like this."Sherlyn turned to him and asked, "Are you the driver of this family? Could you tell me who's staying here?"The driver replied cautiously, "I can't disclose that information to you, but I heard that the family just recently recruited a new group of maids. Your sister might be
Corinne's face turned purple.By then, Pamela caught her breath and anxiously bleated, "Jeremy... Let go of her..."Jeremy immediately released his grip and tossed Corinne to one side before going over and asking, "How are you feeling, Grandma?"Pamela waved her hand weakly. "It's okay... Earlier, I…I got a prune pit stuck in my throat, but Corinne saved me using the Heimlich maneuver. See that pit on the ground? I just spat it out..."Jeremy froze slightly and glanced down at the little prune pit on the ground. Then, he looked towards Corinne, frowning slightly.Corinne got up from the ground and rubbed her arm which was sore after she had been mercilessly thrown onto the ground by Jeremy. She then went up to Pamela and explained, "I baked those pastries for myself this morning, Ma'am. I tend to leave prunes unpitted because I prefer the subtle bitterness that appears when I bake them. It's not very suitable for old people though, so I sincerely apologize for that."She bowed
Corinne's eyes widened, and she stared in bewilderment when she realized that Jeremy was doing one-handed pushups. He had covered her mouth with one hand after pulling the blanket over their bodies, leaving only their heads exposed.They stared blankly at each other as his face seemed to rise and fall within inches of hers. Anyone who saw them would assume that they were in the midst of a passionate session.Corinne felt a little uncomfortable and pushed his hand away after finally having enough of his suggestive actions. "Mister, you..."When Jeremy lowered himself during a round of push-ups, he leaned into her ear and whispered a warning, "Didn't you say you were going to do a proper job of fulfilling your task? You need to cooperate with me on this as well, so stop moving around!"Corinne stared blankly at him for a moment before keenly noticing movements at the door of the room.Pamela had pushed the door slightly ajar and was observing in secret.'I get it now!' As soon as C
