It was too late by the time Xante realized what Aaron was doing.
The video call went through, and Sunny’s face peeked out unhappily from the screen.
He lifted his chin proudly and said, “I’ve decided to forgive you, Xante. I’m partly to blame for what happened today
since I shouldn’t have gone to your workplace to bother you. I promise I won’t do it again and will only find you
after you’ve clocked off work.”
Aaron tutted. “Not bad, Mister Sunny. It didn’t take you long to learn from your mistake.”
Sunny immediately glared at the screen when he realized it was Aaron he was talking to. “You again! Why do you
have Xante’s phone?”

“Wait! Xante—” Sunny did not get far as Xante turned off her phone.
After that, she glared at Aaron. “What the heck is wrong with you?!”
Aaron shrugged. “I just want to see whether Mister Sunny is serious about you, and I got my answer. He might be
sort of spoiled, but at least he’s willing to learn from his mistake. I think you should continue dating him.”
“As if!” Xante rolled her eyes at him before turning her face away and closing her eyes to take a short rest.
Aaron grinned cheekily but his face fell when he realized Annie was looking at him with disgust from the rearview
mirror.
Finally, the trio arrived at the Holdens’ mansion.
Annie got out of the car and was curious to find so many bodyguards stationed around the mansion. She rang the
doorbell, and Bowen’s face immediately appeared on the monitor.
“Oh, hello, Miss Annie.”
“Hello, Bowen. I’ve come to see Corinne. Is she home?”
“She is… Though I must ask, did you come alone, Miss Annie?” asked Bowen cautiously.
“No. I came with two friends.”
“Uh… Who are they? Are they friends of Miss Corinne, too?”
Annie nodded. “Yeah. They’re very good friends with Corinne. You can just let her know I’ve brought Mister Aaron
and Miss Xante to visit her.”
Bowen hesitated a little before replying, “Very well then, Miss Annie. Please wait for a moment.”
The monitor turned dark after that.

‘Bowen must’ve gone to ask Corinne for further instructions, but… Since when did the security here become so
tight? I don’t remember seeing this many bodyguards before,’ thought Annie.
Xante and Aaron got out of the car too. They looked at each other when they saw the bodyguards around the
mansion.
After a while, Bowen along with a few other servants came out with some sort of security tools on their hands.
“Hey Bowen, did Corinne give us the green light to go in?” asked Annie.
Bowen looked seriously at Xante and Aaron before saying, “Miss Annie, since we’ve never met your friends before,
they’ll need to go through a security check to ensure there are no dangerous items on them. Only then would they
be allowed to see Miss Corinne.”
Annie was stunned. ‘They have to go through security checks?’
