Corinne pushed Jeremy’s hand away and turned her head to the side. “Do I need to spell it out for you? You know

very well what you’ve done to upset me!” she grumbled.

Jeremy’s hand froze. His eyebrow came up as he tried to recall what he could have done to upset Corinne so much,

but he could not recall anything.

“Why are you angry at me? I didn’t even get angry at you when you wouldn’t allow me to kiss you! What else do

you want from me?”

Corinne could not help but blush when she heard Jeremy say the word ‘kiss’ so naturally, but it did nothing to ease

the anger flaring up inside of her.

‘Since we have come to this point, I might as well spell it out for him,’ she thought.

“Jeremy Holden!” Corinne called him by his full name. Since she rarely did that, Jeremy knew just how much of a

trouble he was in.

“Yes, I’m listening,” he said solemnly.

Corinne looked straight into his eyes. “Did you or did you not spend the night with another woman while you were

abroad?”

Jeremy was quite taken aback by the question, but realization finally dawned on him. “So you’re angry at me

because of that? And here I was, trying to figure out why you’re giving me the cold shoulder when I’ve only been

away for a few days.”

Corinne became even angrier when she saw he had no intention to explain himself. Instead, he was trying to

change the topic!

“Well, aren’t you going to explain yourself? I should warn you though, you better make sure I don’t find out the

truth if you plan to lie to me. Otherwise, you can say goodbye to me forever!”

That made Jeremy panic a little. He quickly pulled her into an embrace. “You little rascal, how can you say

something like that? Don’t you know how hurtful that is?”

Corinne tried to break free from his embrace but failed. Thus, she resorted to punching serious! This will be the end

of us if I catch you in a small lie.”

Corinne could really pack a punch when she put her mind to it. Jeremy gasped at the pain, but he did not let her go.

“I swear I didn’t spend the night with any woman! I wouldn’t dare to do that. In fact, all I did while abroad was

work!” he said coaxingly.

However, Corinne did not believe him. Her gaze immediately darkened.

“You’re lying! I clearly heard a woman’s voice in the background while you were on the phone with me. Not to

mention, the same woman picked up your phone while you were sleeping. How do you explain that?”

Corinne was disappointed. She might have forgiven him if he had told her the truth. Heck, she might have even

believed him if he had told her the woman was a female friend or business partner who, through some unfortunate

events, had no choice but to share a room with him and that nothing happened between them.

However, the fact that he straight-out denied everything meant he was lying!

Seeing the disappointment in Corinne’s face, Jeremy frowned and quickly explained, “You’re right. I was sleeping.

But it wasn’t at the hotel. I’ve been staying at the office ’cause I’ve been pulling one all-nighter after another ever

since I landed. That’s just how bad the situation abroad is.

“The woman who answered the call was a secretary. She just happened to come in to clean up my office when you

called so she thought she’d help me take a message. I called you back the other day to explain, but you didn’t

answer, and it slipped my mind after that.

“My work schedule abroad was so grueling to the point I couldn’t find any time to contact you. Also, I was afraid

that I’d want to fly back the moment I heard your voice. That’s why I’ve been forcing myself to not look at my

phone. And guess what? I did! I immediately took the red-eye flight back here after you called me yesterday.”
