Corinne narrowed her eyes. “What do you mean? How is he playing with my feelings?”
Aaron opened his mouth, but not knowing where to start, he closed it again. He then nudged Xante, saying, “Xante, why don’t
you tell her?”
Xante gave him a side-eye before pushing up her gold-rimmed glasses. She looked at Corinne warily and said, “Boss, I didn’t
want to tell you ’cause you look so happy with Mister Jeremy. Plus, some things are better kept in the dark to keep the peace.”
“You know I don’t like things being kept hidden from me. Now tell me what’s going on,” said Corinne with a frown.
Xante sighed. “The two of us went to Molomia to look into what Mister Jeremy was doing there after we found out something was
off about him. While it’s true his company does have a few new projects there, that’s not really why he went there.”
Corinne’s gaze darkened. “Then why did he go there?”
“He’d meet up with a woman named Sophia almost every day. The way they behaved toward each other was too close for
comfort, so I looked into her and...”
Xante found it hard to continue.
“And what? Go on. Spit it out now. Don’t leave me hanging like that!” Corinne scolded with a frown.
Xante took a deep breath before continuing, “We found out Mister Jeremy and Sophia were actually legally married in Molomia,
and...even now, their marriage still stands.”Books Chapters Are Daily Updated Join & Stay Updated For All Books Updates...
The light in the room was too dim for either of them to see Corinne’s expression. She kept chewing on her straw and would drink
from her glass from time to time. After a long moment of silence, she finally said, “Do you have a picture of Sophia?”
“Yes.” Aaron quickly took out his phone and showed her the photo he had taken of Sophia. “Here you go, Boss.”
Corinne took his phone, and her eyes immediately dimmed when she saw the HD photo. While Sophia might not be what some
people would call a conventional beauty, she did look exotic with her olive skin and high cheekbones. Not to mention, her skin-
tight T-shirt and short A-line skirt only served to accentuate her voluptuous figure.
The photo showed her standing very close to Jeremy with the two of them being in deep discussion. Corinne knew Jeremy
usually would not let a woman stand so close to him. Even Anya, whom he was mistakenly led to believe to be his savior, was
told to keep some distance away from him.
Thus, Corinne fell into a trance as she stared at the photo of Sophia holding on to Jeremy’s arm intimately while he showed no
signs of disgust. After a while, she calmly gave the phone back to Aaron.
“Okay. Thanks for telling me. You can both go back to your work now.”
Xante and Aaron exchanged glances with each other. They could not help but think Corinne was acting a little too calmly for their
comfort.
“Boss, what’s your next step gonna be?” asked Aaron worriedly.
Corinne said nothing. She simply put down her glass and walked out of the room.
‘What should I do? What should I do?’ she kept asking herself.
Aaron got up to follow her out, but Xante stopped him.
“Give her some space, Aaron. You going after her will only make things worse for her.”
