Corinne had no time to deal with Jason, so she assumed he was joking and went back to
work.
Unexpectedly, Jason really did wait for her and Francine in front of Holden Group when
they got off work.
Corinne and Francine were about to get into their own chauffeured car when a car honked
at them from behind.
They both turned to look behind them and saw Jason peeking out his head from the rolled-
down window, waving and beaming happily at them.
Francine instinctively frowned when she saw him. “What’s he doing here again?”
Corinne was frowning too. “He must have a lot of free time on his hands.”

Corinne into the car. Then to the driver, she urged, “Drive the car away now! We need to
lose the car behind us.”
“Yes, Miss Francine!” said the driver.
However, before he could even step on the accelerator, Jason suddenly drove his car
toward their front, effectively blocking their path. It was so sudden that the two cars
nearly crashed into each other.
Livid, Francine was about to rush out of the car to give Jason an earful when he got down
from his own car and proceeded to get into the front passenger seat of their car.
Francine had never met such a shameless person in her life. Understandably, her tone was
not the friendliest when she shouted, “Are you crazy?! Blocking our car with your car is
already ridiculous enough, and now you got into our car without us asking?”
Jason turned around and smiled at Corinne. “Corinne, didn’t you promise to take me to the
theme park too?”
Corinne’s lips twitched. ‘I didn’t promise him. He came uninvited!’
Francine looked at Corinne anxiously. “Corinne, did you really promise him?”
“Nope.”
Francine was incredibly relieved to hear that. She glared at Jason and said, “You hear that?
She didn’t promise to bring you to the theme park with us. Stop being delusional and get
out of the car this instant!”
Jason had no intention whatsoever to get out of the car. He put on his seatbelt
determinedly and said nothing.

at the time, “Forget it. It’s getting late. We shouldn’t make the kids wait.” Then to the
driver, she said, “Let’s go pick up the kids now.”
“Yes, Miss Corinne.”
The driver drove around Jason’s car and toward the kindergarten.
Francine was not happy at failing to chase Jason out of the car. She sidled up and said,
“Corinne, why are you letting Jason tag along?”
“The kindergarten must be letting the kids out now, so we don’t have time to waste on
him,” said Corinne absent-mindedly.
Francine pouted.
