Aaron simply ignored Annie’s comment and said, “Tsk! He should be working instead of texting you! I need to talk to
his supervisor about his work ethic.”
Fearing Marcus would get into trouble, Annie quickly said, “He called me during lunch break, so there’s nothing
wrong with his work ethic!”
“Didn’t he text you before lunch break as well?” asked Aaron sternly.
“Umm… He needed to ask me something about work. It was only for a few minutes!”
Aaron narrowed his eyes suspiciously. “You sure are protective of him. Does that mean you’ll go on a movie date
with him?”
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtAnnie looked unsure. “I’m still thinking about it,” she said flatly. “I’m not interested in horror movies. Plus, what if I
screamed too loud in front of him? That’ll be so embarrassing.”
Aaron smirked. “Why don’t you go with me, then? I’m looking forward to seeing you scream.”
Annie was stunned. She thought she heard wrong. “Mister Aaron, are you asking me to watch a movie with you?”
Aaron nodded confidently. “Yeah. You can hug me if you’re scared. I don’t mind being taken advantage of by you.”
Annie’s lips twitched. “Your joke isn’t funny at all.”
She hated how he would flirt with every chance he got; it was making it very hard for her to get over him. ‘Ugh!
Why does he have to be so hot? No, Annie! This won’t do. You can’t continue being like this.’
She quickly took Joey away from Aaron. “Thank you, Mister Aaron, for helping me with Joey. But I’m hungry now, so
we’re going to head in to see whether lunch is ready.”
After that, she started making her way back to the mansion.
Aaron trotted after her and asked persistently, “So do you want to watch a movie with me?”
“No! I do not!” Annie’s heartbeat sped up as did her pace. She could not stand being played around by Aaron
anymore.
Lunch was already ready by the time Annie got back to the mansion.
“You came just at the right time, Annie. I was about to ask the servant to call you in. Here, take a seat. I hope you’ll
find the food to your liking,” said Pamela kindly.
“I’m sure it will,” said Annie politely before sitting next to Corinne with Joey still in her arms.
The moment Joey saw Corinne, he reached out his chubby hands to get her to carry him.
Corinne smoothly took him off Annie’s hands. Even though the two of them were not related by blood, she knew

Annie, Aaron, and Xante were not the only guests there as the servants had asked Francine and Chester to join the
others for lunch too. Thus, it was quite lively, to say the least. Greg did not care for the noise, so he asked the
servants to bring his lunch to his room.
Pamela sat at the head of the table, and throughout the whole lunch, she would politely encourage everyone to eat
more while piling food on Corinne’s plate.
Even so, Corinne did not eat much since she fed most of the food to Joey. Seeing this, Pamela offered to take care
of Joey so that Corinne could eat in peace, but Joey would not let anyone else feed him. Thus, Pamela had no choice
but to give up and let Corinne feed him.
