“Look, I’m happy that you’ve come to visit me, but I don’t want to talk about this with you,” said Corinne
lacklusterly.
Jason smiled. “I just want to ask what’s going to happen to me if you’ve decided to get back with Jeremy?”
Corinne looked at him sincerely. “Jason, I see you as my friend only. We’ll always be friends.”
Jason’s expression faltered, and it was not long until a sad smile appeared on his face. “Always, huh? You really
know how to turn a man down, Corinne.”
“I don’t want to lead you on when I have no feelings toward you. That’s what a sc*mbag would do, and I’m not a
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtsc*mbag,” said Corinne.
She yawned lazily and stood up. “Please enjoy your meal, y’all. I’m going to shower and head to bed now.”
Annie stood up as well. “Corinne, let me help you up to your room!”
Corinne did not turn down her help, and the two of them went up the stairs together.
Jason looked so forlorn that his gaze became slightly unfocused. After a long while, he narrowed his eyes and picked
up Corinne’s glass, wanting to drink from it.
However, Aaron grabbed the glass of water before Jason could do that.
Aaron smiled politely at him and said, “Mister Jason, I’m afraid I can’t let you drink this water since the boss has
drank from it.”
Jason smiled. “I don’t mind at all.”
“But the boss does,” replied Aaron with the same polite smile on his face.
Jason looked at him with hostility before raising an eyebrow. “Aren’t you worried I’ll be your boss’ husband one day
and make you pay for the disrespect you’ve shown me now?”
Aaron never let go of the glass. “That’s something for future-me to worry about. What I’m sure of right now is
you’re not her husband.”
Jason knew it was pointless to argue, so he let go of the glass. “Well folks, please continue eating. I have to attend
to something urgent.”
He stood up gracefully as though what happened did not affect him, and he walked out of the living room. On the
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmway, he waved goodbye to Lucas, who sat at the rattan chair by the floor-to-ceiling window.
“Bye, Lucas. Catch up with you when we’re both free.”
Lucas nodded. “Sure. I won’t see you off, then.”
Jason smiled and waved once more before shoving his hands gracefully into his pants pockets. He then walked out
of the mansion.
Unlike Jeremy, Jason could come and go to the mansion as he pleased. However, he did not get what he wanted.
‘Well, at least I got to personally see that Corinne is okay.’
