Chapter 586
Corinne still did not budge. She wanted to avoid Anya like the plague.
“Miss Anya, since it’s a gift you’ve poured your heart into preparing, how would there be a problem? Also, even if I gave you
some suggestions after I’ve taken a look now, it’s too late for you to make amends! It’s the thought that counts. As long as you
have the thought, what others think doesn’t matter. I think there’s no need for me to help you take a look at it
anymore.”
Anya, however, got closer with an innocent expression, wanting to take Corinne’s hand again. “You’re right, Corinne! It’s the
thought that mattered the most. But, I hope this thought of mine could be perfect! Also, of course, you can give me suggestions
now, and I still have time to make amends! That’s because I have two options prepared as a gift for Grandpa. I have a bit of
trouble making a decision, so I still haven’t finalized and picked one of the plans for Grandpa to see! That’s why I wanted to ask
you to help me pick which is better! Corinne, the gift is in the rehearsal room behind the stage. I won’t take up too much of your
time!”
Corinne did not care that Anya was begging her by acting adorable when she had other movies, so much so that Corinne felt a
little annoyed! However, she could not hit her.
Therefore, Corinne kept retreating like she was avoiding doom, then she deliberately hid behind a tall man, using the man to
block Anya off and stop her from pulling her again.
Anya chased after Corinne, but as expected, she did not get any closer after she was blocked by the tall man. Looking up at the
man affectionately, she said in her usual gentle voice, “Jeremy, let me pass. I just want Corinne to help me take a look at the gift
I’m giving Grandpa!”
Jeremy, however, did not move to make way for her. He just looked down at Anya and said coldly, “She’s an outsider. She’s just
here to join in the fun. There’s no need for you to insist on having an outsider take a look at the gift you want to give your
grandfather”
Corinne was stunned. She was subconsciously taken aback when she heard the man say was an outsider, then an icy sneer
appeared on her face.
she
Anya, on the other hand, was elated deep down when she heard the man say she was an outsider. It seemed that Corinne was
already completely an outsider to Jeremy! She felt relieved!
Anya pretended to look a little troubled, then she obediently did as Jeremy told. “Alright! Jeremy, I was just having a dilemma
about which clothes are more suitable to wear on stage later, so I wanted to ask Corinne to help me pick clothes since she’s also
a girl.”
Jeremy squinted, but his tone was still the same. “Not all women know how to pick out clothes. If you want someone to help you
pick out clothes, you at least have to find someone who’s dressed decently to help you and not randomly grab a woman.”
Corinne frowned. What did he mean? Was he saying he was not dressed decently and said she had no taste in picking clothes?
Hmph!
Hearing what Jeremy said, Anya was even more certain that Jeremy disliked Corinne very much at that moment. Therefore, she
did not refute him. She just pursed her lips and smiled sweetly, then she tugged on the man’s shirt and said softly, “Jeremy, what
you said made sense! Why don’t you help me pick out the clothes then? I trust your taste the most!”
Before Jeremy answered her, Sunny frowned and protested, “Anya, didn’t you say that only girls are allowed to take a look in
advance at the gift you’ve prepared for Grandpa? Why are you letting Jeremy help you now? Is Jeremy a girl?”
Anya’s face stiffened. Then, she smiled bashfully and scolded her brother awkwardly, “That’s because you’re still a child, Sunny!
Jeremy and I are adults. He can give me some more mature suggestions!”
