NovelOnlineChapter 1729 Jason shrugged and grinned nonchalantly. He then followed Corinne into the office.
"lI am working, though. It's part of my job to chere and talk to you about work. Hence, | am leading by example by being a hardworking employer." Corinne walked to her desk. She could feel Jason moving closer to her. It was an annoying habit of his; he would deliberately try to get close to her so their bodies would touch while talking.

She turned and casually pulled out a chair. "Mister Jason, please have a seat. We should treat this as a business meeting since we're going to talk about work. I'm afraid that it'll be hard to draw a line between personal and work if you're too close to me." Jason smiled and sat on the chair. "Thank you, Corinne." Corinne walked to her desk and sat opposite him. "So, what do you want to discuss with me?" she asked while looking at him lightly.
Jason's expression turned serious. "It's about the piece of land in Serenity Bay we're going to develop. | was thinking we could section out an area to build an art gallery. What do you think?" Corinne gave his idea sserious thought before saying, "Which area do you have in mind." "It's difficult forto explain which area. If you're free, maybe we can go over so | can show you the area. It'll also be easier forto explain sof the ideas for how | want the art gallery to look like." Corinne looked at the ton her wristwatch. "I'm not free in the morning. | have an important meeting later." Jason shrugged. "It's okay. | have nothing important to do anyway, so I'll wait here for you. We can go for lunch and then to Serenity Bay after you've finished your meeting." Seeing that Jason was not going anywhere, Corinne said, "Well, if you insist. But | must warn you that it's going to be a long meeting. You can wait outside in the lounge area. Feel free to leave anytyou feel bored." Jason crossed his arms. "Why do | need to wait in the lounge area when we know each other so well? Can't | just wait in your office and maybe drink a few cups of coffee?" "Mister Jason, you're not young anymore, so you should know to respect other people's boundaries. Even though we're business partners, we're also each other's competitors. Do you really think it's appropriate for you, the president of another company, to wait alone in my office when we have so many overlapping projects? Not to mention, | have so many confidential documents in here, so how can I not worry?" Jason spread out his hands helplessly. "Corinne, how can you still not trustwhen we've known each other for such a long time? You should know I'm not going to snoop into your confidential documents." "It's fine if all the confidential documents are mine. You can snoop all you want then. But all the documents here belong to Holden Group, and they concern the survival of the company. | have to be accountable to the company shareholders and employees. From one president of a company to another, | hope you can understand where I'm coming from. If you still insist on waiting forto finish the meeting, please go to the lounge area. Otherwise, please go back to your company."
Jason sighed and stood up helplessly.. “I feel so wronged! | swear | ' I'm not here to steal your company's secrets."It doesn't mattre whether that's true or not.All I'm saying is that it's best if we keep a clear boundary with each other. At least that way, we f a won't give others any chance to : "ons f PT gossip about US." "Fine, I'll wait in the lounge. But you should know how chilled to the bone | am by your q " q attitude..." Jason knew Corinne was not joking. He would not be surprised if she asked security to escort him out.

Seeing Jason leave her office to go to the lounge area, Corinne said in a loud voice so that her staff could hear, Mister Jason doesn't like the cold! Remember to turn on the heater 3 " g for him."
Jason turned around in shock.
" Corinne, it's scorchin hot outside!! Why did you ask your staff to turn on the heater for me? You don't want: I" to wait for you that much?" Corinne smiled. "Didn't you just say you were chilled to the bone by my attitude? Well, you won't be anymore with the heater turned on."
