‘It’s because Annie has always been kind to me. I don’t want to see her get hurt.’
After that, Corinne headed downstairs to look for Jeremy. Halfway down, however, she saw something that stopped her.
Jeremy had changed seats. Jeremy was sitting in an armchair before she headed upstairs with Annie, but at this moment, he sat
in the middle of a three-seater. On his left was Zeke, and on his right was a girl sitting very close to him.
The fact that he changed seats meant he did go upstairs.
Corinne narrowed her eyes. She could not help but admit to herself that she was a little pissed that the girl was sitting so close to
her husband.
She walked over to them so quietly that no one noticed her approaching.
The girl sitting next to Jeremy took out her phone before taking a deep breath to muster up the courage to sit closer to Jeremy
and asked, “M—Mister Jeremy, can I get your social media account?”
Corinne did not stop walking when she heard that as she was confident Jeremy would turn the girl down. To her shock, Jeremy
actually agreed.
“Sure.”
This made her stop walking. She watched anxiously as Jeremy took out his phone to exchange details with the girl. The girl
blushed and whispered something in his ear. He did not move away and just sat there, listening.
Corinne stayed rooted to the spot for a good long while. Then, she smiled. ‘So he got tired of me sooner than I expected. Heh...
All men are the same. They’ll look for new prey once the novelty wears off on the old one. I can’t believe I was just praising him
for his disinterest in women to Annie just now. Hm, how stupid of me.’
“Corinne, why are you standing there? Come, sit!” said Jason, smiling and waving her over. He was talking to Zeke before he
spotted Corinne.
Hearing her name, Jeremy turned to look at her, too. His expression remained as impassive as ever. The girl who asked for his
contact details immediately got up and sat somewhere else like nothing happened once she saw Corinne had come back.
Corinne snapped out of her shock and walked over to them. Instead of sitting next to Jeremy, she simply walked past him and
sat next to Jason.
Jason was a little surprised at this, so he turned to look at Jeremy with a raised eyebrow to see what his reaction would be.
Everyone sensed something was off too, so they all turned to look at Jeremy.
Jeremy simply narrowed his eyes and said nothing. There was no hint of emotion on his face as he looked down at his phone.
‘He must be checking to see if that girl has added him as a friend,’ thought Corinne. The spot she was sitting allowed her to take
a good look at the girl who asked for Jeremy’s contact details. The girl looked young and fresh. She was not particularly striking,
but her age made up for her looks.
“Corinne, what’s the matter? Why did you choose to sit next to me?”
