Corinne could not help but recall Jeremy's attitude toward her. He made it abundantly clear that he could give her everything except his feelings during the three months of their agreement. That alone was proof that he only had feelings for Sunny's sister.Her expression turned dark, and she chuckled. "Thank you for your reminder, but I'm not interested in making friends with a kid." She then walked away at a leisurely pace.Sunny was unhappy that his offer to make friends with her had been ruthlessly rejected, so he followed Corinne resentfully and lashed out, "Who are you calling a kid, Corinne? I'm not a kid! I'm not!"Corinne ignored his pestering and allowed him to follow her out. She strolled slowly and began looking for Sherlyn in the banquet hall. After searching for some time, Sherlyn was still nowhere to be found, so she walked over to a swing chair made of rattan by the floor-to-ceiling window and sat there for a moment. Since the chair was facing the windows, she had the

Corinne frowned when she heard that name. "Do I have to go there with you? Can't I choose to skip this?"Sherlyn saw Corinne's displeased expression and lashed out sharply, "Know where you stand, Corinne! You're my assistant now, so you have to do whatever I ask you to! You can't just take a one-thousand-and-five-hundred-dollar salary and assume that you can pick and choose what I assign you to do!"Corinne massaged the top of her nose bridge. "Fine." The thought of meeting Jeremy again gave her a headache, but Sherlyn showed no intention of letting her off work just yet. 'I'll go. Jeremy might not necessarily notice me with this kind of clothes I'm wearing today.'"Sherlyn." The middle-aged man from earlier walked over slowly and called out to her. He was none other than Sherlyn's so-called 'godfather'."Sherlyn, Mister Jeremy and the others are upstairs. Let me bring you over to introduce you."Sherlyn got up happily from the swing chair. "Coming! Thanks, Goran!"Goran looked a

Goran sat down and began to introduce his new movie concept in an attempt to attract the four distinguished company presidents to invest in him.Meanwhile, Sherlyn sat meekly beside him and stared absent-mindedly at Jeremy. She became overwhelmed with emotions the more she looked at that handsome man, and that surge of emotions inevitably made her feel even more regretful.It was not too long ago that she nearly got married to Jeremy. The entourage that the Holdens sent to pick up the bride had stepped into the door of their home, but for some reason, she missed out on the opportunity and everything failed.The exorbitant dowry that the Holdens gave to her family was still kept safe in her home. She imagined how she could have been Missus Holden if she was married off to the Holdens by mistake. Then, she could rightfully sit beside Jeremy while being looked up to and envied by all women.As she fantasized about what could have been, she knocked over the cup of tea that the tea brew

"Of course not!" answered Corinne before Jeremy could. "Why would I know someone as important as Mister Jeremy? I'm not fit to know him at all!" At the same time, she withdrew her hand with all her strength.Unfortunately, she tilted the teacup by accident and spilled half the cup because she pulled her hand back too forcefully. The back of the man's hand turned red after being scalded."Gah! Corinne! What are you doing? How hard is it to serve tea?!" Sherlyn screamed, pushed Corinne away, and ran over to show concern for Jeremy's burn."Does it hurt, Mister Jeremy? I'm sorry that my assistant is such an idiot. I'll teach her a lesson later!"Jeremy withdrew his hand coldly and did not let Sherlyn touch him. He shook off the remaining tea on his hand gently, took the tissue handed over by the waiter, and wiped his hands slowly. As he did all that, his gloomy gaze was fixed on Corinne the entire time, and he did not even frown when he got scalded. He remained silent for two seconds

Jason sipped his tea pensively and remained silent for a while before asking Corinne, "Why would the dignified Missus Holden take up a job as an assistant for a celebrity? Doesn't Jeremy give you any money to spend?"Corinne played her game absent-mindedly and replied casually, "It's a hobby. Money's not the issue here."Jason's sexy face turned serious. "I asked you this out of concern, Corinne. You can always tell me if you face any problems. I might be able to help you."'Help me?' Jason seemed to enjoy striking up a conversation with her using the excuse of 'I can help you if you face any problems'.Corinne raised an eyebrow as a sly look flashed across her eyes.She quit the game, put away her phone, then raised her head and looked earnestly at Jason. As she blinked her bright beautiful eyes, she asked, "Will you really help me if I'm in trouble, Jason the Kind Samaritan? Don't just talk."'Jason the Kind Samaritan?' Jason was speechless at the unexpected long nickname. "Of
