If Corinne shared a drink with another man, it would be equivalent to walking blindfolded into Jeremy's minefield. The consequences would be disastrous, so the plan could not be executed.After giving it some thought, Corinne tried to bargain with Jason. "How about another time? I'll drink as many cups with you as you want."Jason was unmoved. "No can do. It's either now or never. Time waits for no man…or woman."'D*mn him!' Corinne felt a little embarrassed and turned to look at Jeremy. He was still drinking tea while facing the other side and was not paying attention to her at all.She looked back at Jason and eventually confirmed with him. "Let me get this straight. You'll give me Nellie Nymphaea's works for free as long as I drink with you, correct?"Jason smiled and nodded without hesitation. "I'll have them sent with you immediately if you can do it."Corinne turned around and looked at the tea table again. Jeremy was still as languid as ever as he faced the other side. He

'Sigh. He saw me after all…'Without waiting for Corinne to give a reason to explain, the man leaned over and approached her for a while with a stern, oppressive tone. "Didn't I forbid you from drinking anything other people offer you? Did you forget what I said?"There was such a disparity in height that Corinne was forced to tilt her neck upward uncomfortably. "I didn't. I remember..."Jeremy lifted her small face forcibly again, with his fingers pinching her cheeks gently and the web between his index finger and thumb propping her chin up. He held her condescendingly and said, "And you still did it?”Corinne explained uncomfortably. "Mister, it's not what you think..."The man's face was calm as usual, but there was a bit of sullen annoyance in his expression. "How do you think I should feel when my wife is drinking with another man in front of me?"Corinne was helpless. She knew she had been wrong and could only say concisely to him, "That's because he has something I want!"

Sherlyn was startled by the sight of Jeremy. 'What in the world is going on? Why did Jeremy come out as soon as that b*tch Corinne left? Were they both in there earlier?!'As soon as she realized that possibility, Sherlyn had an incredulous look and immediately became wary soon after. Jeremy had been looking at Corinne rather strangely when she was pouring tea for them earlier, and Corinne was a little vixen good at seducing men. Perhaps Corinne had spilled that tea on purpose just to attract his attention and hook up with him.Having come to that conclusion, Sherlyn felt an unbearable pain in her heart and she wanted to get to the bottom of what happened. A charming smile appeared across her face as she walked toward Jeremy. She asked innocuously and curiously, "Mister Jeremy, my assistant just came out of that restroom. Why did you come out right after her? Did the two of you share the same restroom earlier?""Your assistant?" Jeremy glanced at Sherlyn coldly and gave her an icy t

A chill ran up Tommy's spine. He looked to the back of the car and explained innocently, "Sir, I had to deal with an urgent matter at the company, so I didn't accompany Miss Corinne to the subsidiary company. I did call Mister Feldman before I left, and he said Miss Corinne was the one who insisted on becoming an assistant."Jeremy's eyebrows furrowed as he said nothing. Tommy could not tell what Jeremy was feeling as his expression looked dead calm.Tommy carefully continued, "I'll arrange a much lighter job for Miss Corinne tomorrow."Still, Jeremy remained indifferent. He said, "Ignore her. If this is the job she chose, then let her be.""... Yes," Tommy replied."Go take a look in Jason's art gallery if there are three paintings by Nellie Nymphaea. Buy them. She wants them," Jeremy instructed.Tommy nodded and made a mental note of this. "Understood. I'll get to it."Oh, right… Sir, Miss Anya's treatment is about to end. I estimate she's going to come back next month."Jere

Jeremy narrowed his eyes and asked, "Are you close with the owner?"Corinne nodded. "Yes. We always came here for supper in the past.""We?""Yea… My friends and I!" Corinne answered.Suddenly, he remembered the owner saying he was more handsome than the last guy Corinne brought here before. Did that mean Corinne always brought guys over too? Who were they?Jeremy's eyebrows furrowed. "Friends? Your ex?"Corinne nodded honestly. "Nope. I'm ashamed to tell you this, but I've never had a boyfriend before, so I don't have exes. I came here with my classmates and some friends I grew up with."Jeremy's dark eyes sank. "Classmate? The one who gave you his button?""No, not him," Corinne answered without thinking about it, but seconds later, realization dawned on her. "Wait! How did you know someone gave me a button before?"Jeremy snorted with a stone-cold expression. "Unfortunately, I was around to witness it."Corinne thought back and remembered Jeremy and her walking together on
