The smile on Sherlyn's face froze when Jeremy did not even react to her enthusiastic explanation. His expression was stern and indifferent, which came off as intimidating.Sherlyn did not try to force a conversation with him, so she eased some of her embarrassment by turning to ask Xante. "Where is my assistant, Miss Xante? I need her to carry something for me!"Xante seemed to have a bad feeling about how the situation was developing, but she adjusted her gold-rimmed glasses calmly and said lightly, "Your assistant has just left, Miss Sherlyn."Sherlyn frowned in dissatisfaction. "She left?! Where the hell did she go? How dare she run off without even waiting for me to come back!"Xante smiled politely and said indifferently, "I'm not privy to that, I'm afraid."Sherlyn was already pissed that Corinne was requested to speak in a private discussion, and that anger only escalated when Corinne just left without saying a word. She immediately took out her cell phone and called Corinn

Aaron sighed helplessly and said, "She crawled out of the office window and came in through the restroom window. It's that simple."Xante frowned even more. "But this is the thirtieth floor!"Aaron shrugged and said, "My rock-climbing gear is still in the lounge, and it just so happened to come in handy. It's not difficult for her at all, considering the kind of skills she has."Xante took off her gold-rimmed glasses and massaged her eyebrows. "And who's that in the office?""Your secretary. The boss told her to put on the mask, change into her clothes, and just sit there to act like she's busy.""... How very smart!"Aaron narrowed his eyes thoughtfully. "Why do you think the boss is so averse to Jeremy discovering that she's Moon?"Xante glanced at him and reminded, "She has her reasons. It's not our place to make any guesses."Aaron stroked his chin and thought for a while. "I can hardly believe that Jeremy isn't attracted to her at all. I'm going to test him!"Xante had a

"Anything's fine." Jeremy's cold tone suggested a clear disinterest in having lunch, though he did not refuse outright.Sherlyn did not think much of the man's cold attitude and was so beside herself with excitement that she was able to have lunch with a man of Jeremy's status."Let's go to The Wild Bites. They serve some really good food there!"The Wild Bites was one of the best high-end restaurants in the city, and the price was very expensive too. Sherlyn would never be willing to have a meal there if she was not treating a big shot like Jeremy to a meal.Jeremy acknowledged her decision expressionlessly and turned to walk toward the lobby entrance.As Sherlyn followed Jeremy, she turned around and called out angrily to Corinne, "Hurry up! Don't waste any more time! Do you expect Mister Jeremy to wait for you?"Corinne frowned helplessly and hastened her footsteps to follow up. Since Aaron had picked them up when they came and Corinne did not drive over, it was logical for th

As soon as Corinne snapped back to her senses, she turned around to discover that Jeremy had appeared behind her at some point and was staring at her gloomily.Corinne felt an inexplicably strong chill down her spine, and she subconsciously ended the call."Just a friend!" she replied curtly and placed the cell phone back into her pocket.Jeremy raised his hand and spread his large palm in front of her. "Give me the phone." He was acting like a high school principal who was doing his rounds and wanted to confiscate a student's cell phone.Corinne froze for a moment and frowned unhappily. She felt that he was making a mountain out of a molehill, but she did not want to argue with him there. After giving his request a bit of thought, she took out her phone and handed it to him.Jeremy took the phone and tried to swipe it open, but as soon as he saw that the screen was locked, he said coldly, "What's the password?"Corinne refused. "This concerns my privacy, and I have the right not

Corinne went on to say, "Honestly, you've never believed in me at all! You asked Tommy to make arrangements for my job just so you could keep me in a place that you can control. That way, you can always know what I'm doing and whether I cheated on you, right?"Jeremy stared at her with a dark and gloomy gaze. For the time being at least, he was noncommittal over her remark."I'm just a passer-by who will exist for only three months in your magnificent life, Mister. Please don't try to control me! If you don't believe in me, I can always swear to you!"After saying that, Corinne raised her hand firmly and vowed, "I, Corinne, swear to God almighty, that I'll never do anything out of line and cheat on Mister Jeremy Holden. May lightning strike me and kill me if I go back on my promise!" After swearing categorically, she placed her hand down and headed for the direction of the door.Just as she put her hand on the doorknob and opened it, Jeremy's big palm pushed it shut from behind."
