Corinne found what Sophia said laughable. “You want me to get out of your way too? Since when was I ever in your

way?”

Sophia leaned in and whispered conspiratorially, “I don’t mean it in the physical sense but in the romantic sense.”

Corinne’s eyes turned cold. She found what Sophia said so absurd that she almost laughed. “What does your love

life have to do with me?”

Sophia was about to answer when she spotted someone appear behind Corinne. “Jason, what are you doing here?”

she asked with a smile.

Jason glanced at Corinne before smiling at Sophia. “I went out to make a call just now. What are you two girls

talking about?”

Sophia looked at Jason and then at Corinne as realization hit her. Her grin became even wider as she said, “Corinne

has taken an interest in the paintings displayed in this room, so I came to walk with her since I don’t think she

should be left alone in her condition. But I have to entertain the other guests soon, so can you please stay with her,

Jason?”

Jason smiled. “Of course. Leave her to me.”

A wicked glint flashed across Sophia’s eyes. “Okay, I’ll leave you two to it, then. Catch you later.”

After that, she started mingling with the crowd.

Jason turned back to look at Corinne after he made sure Sophia was nowhere to be seen. “Didn’t you say you

wanted to go to the restroom? Why are you here alone instead?”

“Can’t I take a look around after I’ve been to the restroom? Must I go back and be talked about by you guys as if

I’m in some sort of freakshow?”

Jason smiled and shrugged. “Hey, that’s not fair. I didn’t join in their conversation when they were talking about

you.”

Corinne did not find Jason as annoying as usual. After all, she felt rather indebted to him.

“Let me guess, you can’t stand them either?”

“Yeah, I guess you can say that,” replied Jason with a smile.

Corinne nodded. “It was easy to tell.”

Jason smiled and looked down at her shoes. ‘Oh, good. She’s wearing flats instead of high heels. She’ll suffer the

whole night if she does.’

“You wanted to check out the paintings, right? Come on. I’ll go with you,” said Jason, gesturing with his chin for her

to walk in front of him.

Corinne frowned and said a little unhappily, “You don’t have to come with me. There are too many people here, and

it’ll start a gossip if they see you walking with me. I’ll be fine by myself, so you should join your friends instead.”

“Let them gossip about us! I don’t care. Your presence will help me keep the other women at bay,” said Jason.

“But I care! I don’t want to be the talk of the town for tonight.”

Jason smiled. “Oh, stop being such a worrywart. Everybody’s having too much fun to notice us. Let’s go. It’s best if I

stay with you. After all, it won’t be a laughing matter should you slip and fall in your condition.”

Corinne turned to look around. Jason was right. Everybody was having too much fun to even look at them. Sophia

had spared no expense for the party as she even hired the hottest rock band at that time to liven up the

atmosphere.

Knowing Jason, Corinne knew he would not leave no matter what she said. Thus, she decided to let him accompany

her while she walked around the venue.

Jason was very thoughtful. He would steer her away gently when he saw someone was about to bump into her.

However, what they did not know was somewhere on top of the stairs, Jeremy was watching them with icy eyes.

Sophia passed Jeremy a glass of cocktail. “Jeremy, is Corinne close with Jason? They look like they’re getting on well

with each other.”

Jeremy narrowed his eyes. “What makes you think that?”
