Sophia laughed wryly. "You're an interesting man, Mister Zeke.""What's the use of being interesting if you don't love me?""Oh, stop it. I know I'm not your type either."…Meanwhile, in a luxurious villa on the outskirts of the city, Corinne was watching the television while having her dinner.The villa belonged to Jason, and she had been living there for close to six months. She intended to fly out of the country with Jason's private jet after the storm died down. Alas, the chaos never settled as Jeremy still ordered his men to look for her and keep a close eye on all major transport systems.Even though she could use Jason's private jet, the pilot would still need to clear the flight with the air traffic controller, which would require him to submit all the passengers' names. She was sure she would be exposed then since Jeremy would be monitoring all the private jets leaving the country as well. Thus, she had no choice but to accept Jason's arrangement to hide out in the vill

Corinne leaned back against the sofa and answered absent-mindedly, "It's nothing.""Is it prenatal depression? Shall I get a doctor to check up on you?" asked Jason worriedly.Corinne shook her head."Don't worry. I've always been cautious, so I promise you the Holdens will never find you here. Don't keep it to yourself if you feel any discomfort," assured Jason gently.Corinne looked up at him and said a little sheepishly, "I'm fine. Thank you, Mister Jason, for all you've done for me. I really don't want to trouble you with any more stuff."Jason pretended to be angry. "You should drop the 'Mister' in front of my name if you really want to thank me!"Corinne knew Jason had feelings for her. Thus, she had been sure to keep her boundaries, whether through words or actions, so he would not get any wrong idea.However, this was not the first time Jason expressed his dissatisfaction at being called 'Mister Jason'. He wanted her to simply call him 'Jason'.To show her gratitude, Co

At that moment, Xante's secretary knocked on the door."Come in," said Xante after snapping out of her trance.The secretary came in and presented a file. "Miss Xante, these are the documents you've asked for.""Thanks. You can put it there," said Xante with a nod.The secretary did as she was told. "One more thing, Miss Xante… Mister Sunny has come to visit you again. Should I let him in?"Xante pinched the bridge of her nose. "Might as well."She knew Sunny would stay outside her office until she let him in, and that would leave a bad impression on Xante's staff."As you wish, Miss Xante," said the secretary before going out.A minute later, Sunny swaggered into Xante's office and sat on the chair in front of her desk. "Xante, it's nearly lunchtime. Where shall we eat later?"Xante looked at him expressionlessly. "I didn't agree to have lunch with you.""Well, you're going with me whether you like it or not."Xante raised her eyebrow threateningly. "Are you ordering me?"

Sunny, on the other hand, did not think too much of it and said, "Xante, let's just join them. The more the merrier after all."After thinking about it, Xante walked over to their table with a mission to get to know Sophia better. "Well, don't mind if we do, then."Sophia tilted her head and smiled at her. "A friend of Jeremy is a friend of mine too. Please, go ahead."Xante pushed up her gold-rimmed glasses and scoffed internally. She knew Sophia's breezy attitude was all an act since every word of hers was meant to let others know just how close she was with Jeremy. As to whether Sophia was doing it on purpose or accidentally… Well, that depended on who was the recipient of her message.Xante sat beside Sophia while Sunny took the seat beside Jeremy. There was an awkward silence once everyone was settled.Jeremy continued to cut his steak with an apathetic expression. It was as if he was not interested in what was going on in his surroundings at all. In fact, he would give only

Xante's eyes darkened, but she then smirked. "So what if she did?"Sophia, with her chin resting in her hand, fluttered her eyelashes at Xante. "What did she complain about? Let's see if what she said is true. My guess is that I'll probably agree with her about most things."Xante scoffed. "Miss Sophia, I really don't think we're close enough to have this kind of girl talk."Sophia shrugged. She looked disappointed, but she did not ask any more questions.Surprisingly, Jeremy did. "What did she say about me?"Xante was a little taken aback. She turned toward Jeremy, her gold-rimmed glasses glinting, and smiled. "Why should you care what she said about you?""Just what the hell did she say about me?" repeated Jeremy impatiently.Xante chuckled coldly. "She didn't say anything. I was just joking with Miss Sophia, so just forget about it."Jeremy's face darkened with anger.Xante continued eating her steak to avoid looking at Jeremy's gaze.Sunny could feel the tension in the ai
