Corinne’s pregnancy made it rather difficult for her to stabilize her center of gravity when she moved backward.
Jason had to stretch out his arm to make sure she did not fall.
At the same time, they got physically closer. Their eyes were within inches of each other.
Corinne felt that it was inappropriate and immediately wanted to get up and walk away. However, Jason held her
tightly and said, “You’re wrong, Corinne. You can’t lump all men into the same category just because you’ve met
one jerk. I’m different from Jeremy. I’ll never…”
As Jason spoke, he leaned so close to Corinne that she could feel his breath on her lips.

Annie got home and got dressed before asking the driver to drive her to Newmoon Group. When she arrived, she
looked at the time and realized it was still too early for lunch. As she was about to go in and wait for Marcus, she

She knew she might run into Aaron in the company lobby if she waited for Marcus inside, so she finally decided to
wait in the cafe just opposite the company.
After ordering a cafe latte, Annie sent a message to Marcus telling him that she was waiting for him in the opposite
cafe. She then told him not to worry about her.
Her mind was blank, and she was staring out the window in a daze. However, a message soon disrupted her mood.
The notification on her phone made her think that Marcus had replied to her message. Alas, all she saw was a
message from Aaron.
[Have you woken up yet? I’ll be heading back to send lunch to Corinne in a bit. Let me know what you’re craving,
and I’ll get some for you!]
His gentle message made her feel as though he was physically asking her that with a smile. It was Aaron’s gentle
temperament that attracted her from the beginning and made her weak in the knees.
Annie suddenly snapped back to her senses and shook her head vigorously. She reminded herself not to think about
other men because she was waiting for her boyfriend.
She replied, [Thanks, but you don’t have to buy lunch for me!]
After a while, Aaron replied, [And leave you to go hungry? We wouldn’t want you to have any hunger pangs, would
we?]
Annie frowned unhappily. [Thank you for your concern, but I’m waiting for my boyfriend. I’m getting lunch with him.
I won’t go hungry.]
A minute later, Aaron sent her a bland, smiling emoji. Annie did not understand what that expression meant and did
not think much about it.
All of a sudden, her boyfriend Marcus sent her a message to apologize to her. [I’m sorry you had to come all the
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmway just for me to tell you this, but the company notified us that we’ll be having an emergency meeting, and lunch
will be provided during the meeting too! How about you go home first? I’ll come to you after I get off work.]
Marcus’s message reminded Annie of the smiling emoji Aaron sent her. ‘Emergency meeting? It can’t be a
coincidence!’
She replied to Marcus, [Don’t worry about it. We’ll set a time after work.]
Annie then opened her chat with Aaron and sent, [You did that, didn’t you?]
Aaron sent another smiling emoji. [Did what?]
[Hold an emergency meeting and provide lunch to those who were asked to attend the meeting.]
[Yes! I just felt like treating my dear employees to lunch! What do you think? I’m a good leader, aren’t I?]
Annie sent an angry emoji and said, [You’ve crossed the line! Are you glad that I came all the way here for
nothing?]
[It’s not for nothing.]
[Who are you to tell me that my trip wasn’t for nothing? I’m already here! I hate you!] Annie typed furiously on the
virtual keyboard when she heard someone pull out a chair and sit opposite her.
