Corinne asked Lucas why she was suddenly being promoted and he only paid her lip service, saying that with her skills and experiences, she was overqualified to be only working as a secretary.'What kind of half-*ss reason is that?' She instinctively looked at the smiling Jason and thought, 'He has something to do with this.'After coming out of Lucas's office, Edmund brought her to the new office she would be working in from there onwards. He even arranged for somebody to redecorate the office."Miss Carew, feel free to come to me if you want to change anything in your office. We can redecorate it to any style you like," said Edmund before leaving Corinne alone in her new office.Even Edmund's attitude toward her changed! Corinne found the whole thing surreal."Thank you but I'm good for the moment."She sat down on the chair and it was most definitely more comfortable than the chair she had when she was just a secretary. However, it would not be convenient for her to look into h

Anya looked happy. She walked up to Corinne and said, "Corinne, what a coincidence to see you here too!""Yeah, I guess you can say that," said Corinne indifferently.Anya turned her attention toward Jason — who still was holding the shopping basket in his hand — and smiled coyly, "Jason, what are you doing here with Corinne?"Jason beamed a smile back at her and said, "Corinne has just been promoted to become the sales manager in Rivera Group today. Meaning to say she'll be in charge of all the products that the company supplies to Talbot's so I brought her here to get herself familiarized with the market."Corinne was relieved that Jason told her the truth instead of giving her an answer that could be taken the wrong way.'Okay, so he does know how to rein it in when there are other people present.'Anya blinked in astonishment. "Congratulations on the promotion, Corinne!"Corinne knew Anya did not mean that so she simply smiled and said, "Thank you.""Jeremy and I were just

Anya hurriedly put on an expression that showed she suddenly realized that she made a mistake."Sorry, Corinne! I forgot you wanted to have something lighter. It was my mistake to order so much fried food. Waiter! Take all of these fried foods away. My friend here doesn't like it!"Corinne smiled mockingly at Anya's hypocrisy and waved her hand at the waiter, signaling him to not bother. "It's okay. You all can eat it since the food is already here. It won't be good to waste it.""But," Anya said anxiously."Yeah, it's fine. We can just do this." Jason pushed the plate of fried food away from Corinne before picking up and putting the cold side dish in front of her. "Here, Corinne, try this. It's light and refreshing. You'll have more appetite after eating this.""Okay, thanks." Corinne nodded and grabbed some of the cold side dishes. However, before the food even got close to her mouth, she immediately covered her mouth and stood up because she felt like throwing up again. "Excuse

'Forty days ago! That's about the time Jeremy went on that business trip of his. Meaning to say, he was actually with Anya and their kid! I guess him calling me every day to make sure I eat, sleep, and miss him didn't stop him from having the time to make another kid with Anya!' thought Corinne.Corinne suddenly felt like something was stuck in her throat, making her want to throw up. Previously, it was a biological response but now it was an emotional response. She mentally berated herself for ever trusting Jeremy's words. For a moment there, she was looking forward to him coming back so that the two of them could live happily ever after.'He lied straight to my face and like a fool I took it in hook, line, and sinker! What a devious man he is!' thought Corinne and even though all those were going on in her mind, she still managed to maintain a calm facade on her face. 'Oh well, who of us hasn't been young and stupidly in love before? It's all in the past now.'After giving herself

Jason was nowhere to be seen by the time Corinne got back to the private dining room. She had no idea where he went and since Jeremy did not get back, there was only Anya, who was feeding Joey some soupy rice.They did not have a very good conversation in the restroom. The falling out caused them to shed all pretense of cordiality. Since there was no one else in the room, Anya simply threw a cold glance at Corinne before going back to feeding Joey.Corinne sat down on her seat, picked up a fork with one hand, and took out her phone with another to send a text to Aaron.Suddenly, Anya pressed the bell to summon the waiter to bring in more soup for her. Corinne did not pay too much attention to her behavior as she was too busy replying to the messages on her phone.After a while, a waiter dressed in the restaurant's uniform came in with a bowl of soup."Here's the soup you ordered, ma'am. Please enjoy."The waiter then walked up to Anna when suddenly he tripped and the bowl immedia
