In the month since she left Jeremy's place, Corinne hardly heard anyone mention his name in front of her. Xante and Aaron probably talked about it with each other and came up with the agreement to not bring up anything about Jeremy in front of her. They even tried their very best to avoid talking about the business they have with Holden Group.Corinne told herself that it should not matter if they talked about Jeremy for he was nothing but a stranger to her now. Having said that, she still could not feel the disgust rising from her throat whenever she heard his name.Corinne smiled and said, "Kind Sir, do me a favor and don't ever mention that man's name when I'm eating. It just puts me off my food."Jason was a little taken aback. He looked at her with interest dancing in his eyes and smiled. "Sure thing. Consider it done."She might not have answered his question directly, but her attitude said it all — she did not want to have anything to do with Jeremy anymore.Corinne took a

After staring at each other for ten seconds, Corinne thought that she should eat the duck meat on her fork. After that, she wiped her mouth and said, "Mister Talbot, thank you for giving me information about Nellie Nymphaea but I have yet to verify the veracity of it. Therefore, I would need to look into it more as for the other matter. Well, let's talk about it again sometime in the future."'She's willing to talk about it?' This was better than Jason expected. At least there was still some hope for him."Corinne, I'm not going to force you but I hope that I'll be the first person that comes into your mind whenever you need someone to help you."Corinne smiled. "I see that you're as kind as ever, Kind Sir. I'll be sure to keep that in mind."The reason she told Jason she would be willing to talk about the matter of their "relationship" sometime in the future was that she knew that he would not stop talking her ears off if she rejected him directly now. She wanted to be spared from

A wealthy family like the Riveras was just like any other wealthy family. All they cared about was money and reputation. With both in their hands, they would be able to prevent the scandals their families were involved in from getting out to the public.Even if words get out of what happened behind closed doors, no media company would be brave enough to expose them. Therefore, only a handful of people possessed insider information about the Rivera family and those people made sure to keep their mouths shut to outsiders.Under such circumstances, it would be impossible for Corinne to find out what happened back then if she did not walk into the lion's den, so to speak. She thought that it would be easy to clear up her mother's name since it was confirmed that she did not share the same DNA as Marvin.However, now that she learned that she was rumored to be the child born out of an extramarital affair. Well, that gave her a headache. She could not and would not believe her mother woul

Edmund hung up the phone."Miss Carew, please follow me. Mister Lucas would like to see you."Corinne was not surprised. She got up and followed Edmund to Lucas' office. His office was just like his — elegant but cold."Mister Lucas, I've brought Miss Carew here to see you," said Edmund with a bow.There were a few unique handicrafts on the desk and behind the desk was a large office chair with its back facing them. However, Lucas did not turn around even after Edmund greeted him.After bringing Corinne here and greeting Lucas, he then turned around and walked out of the room without being prompted.'I guess his job is to only bring me here,' thought Corinne. She waited patiently for Lucas to turn around but when he did not, she politely said, "Mister Lucas, my name is Corine Carew and I wish to work as your executive secretary."After a few seconds, Lucas finally slowly turned around. He was holding a cup of steaming hot coffee in his hand. His elegance gave him both a dignifie

'If I leave the office now I'd bump into Anya and Jeremy! What should I do?' thought Corinne.Lucas looked at the panicking Corinne and thought he liked her better this way. 'She's way cuter like this than when she's all huffy-puffy,' he raised his eyebrow and said mockingly, "So the great and mighty Corinne does know how to panic as well."Corinne was speechless. She was not in the mood for Lucas's mockery. 'D*mmit! Of all the things I've expected to go wrong, this is certainly one I didn't see coming.'She banked on the fact that the Holdens and the Riveras were at odds with each other. Therefore, she was confident Jeremy would not appear in the company. She even remembered the bad vibe clashing in the air whenever Jeremy and Lucas were in the same room.'Things must be going well between Jeremy and Anya in the one month I was gone. Maybe the elders have started to accept each other? If that's true, that'll explain why they're getting engaged so soon,' thought Corinne, clenching
