Chapter 523
“Not really,” replied Corinne.
“Because Anya loves Jeremy more than life itself. She could not and would not live without him. Your existence, however, made
Jeremy question the importance of having Anya in his life.
Corinne rolled her eyes. “Oh please, they already have a kid together so how can I still be at threat to their relationship? You
guys are overthinking about this. Besides, it’s not like Mister Jeremy is the only fish in the sea, and no matter how desperate I
am for a man, I would never be a homewrecker!!
Jason looked at her in shock, which Corinne noticed, so she asked him, “What? Why are you. looking at me like that?”
That snapped him out of his shock. He then smiled and said, “No reason. Let’s go. I’ll show you around the company’s shopping
mall and then we can have lunch together.”
“No, thank you. I still have work to do.”
Jason rapped his knuckles on the table and said, “This is one of your jobs. Many of your company’s products are sold in the
Talbot’s Department Stores and since you’re the sales manager now, you should do your best to understand the market! I have
already informed Lucas that you’re going out with me to do market research this afternoon.”
Corinne was speechless.
At Talbot’s Department Store.
Jason pointed to the row of snacks on the shelf and said, “Look, Corinne, all these products are manufactured by Rivera Group
and they’ve been selling like hotcakes in our department store.”
Corinne looked at the assortments of snacks with a surprised expression on her face. “I didn’t know Rivera Group produces food
items too.”
“Yeah, and they’re delicious but they’re not the main focus of the company ’cause the profit margin is kinda low. Understandably,
you don’t know this since you’ve just entered the company. Lucas has a special fondness for the snacks manufactured under his
company ’cause Anya has always loved those snacks so Lucas made sure the snacks are well-made.”
As he was saying that, Jason picked up a shopping basket and threw some of the snacks in before opening a bag of cookies for
Corinne to try.
“This is one of the classic sandwich cookies by Rivera Group. Do you want to try?”
Corinne accepted the cookie and her eyes shrank to pinpoint size with just one bite.
‘This taste, it’s so familiar.’
She felt like an electric shock coursed through all the nerves in her brain and at the same time various images came rushing into
her mind but they disappeared as soon as they appeared, causing her to frown.
‘My head hurts.’
Jason noticed her frowning and looked worriedly at her.
“Corinne, what’s wrong?”
Corinne snapped out of her trance and shook her head.
“It’s nothing. I just thought this cookie tastes familiar.”
“Oh. Must be because you ate this before. It’s our best-selling cookie after all.”
“Yeah, probably,” Corinne said after thinking about it.
The two of them continued to make their way through the department store when suddenly a
soft voice came from behind them.
“Corinne?”
Corinne did not even have to turn around to know that it was Anya calling her.
‘Oh my god, I don’t want to deal with that drama queen today,’ she thought with annoyance.
She turned around and saw Anya carrying Joey in her arms while Jeremy stood languidly beside them with both of his hands in
his pockets. There was no hint of emotions on his
handsome face.
It was the picture-perfect image of a family of three
