“Mister, how come you got off work so early today?” asked Corinne casually. There was none of the usual formality

she reserved for those not close to her.

“I didn’t have anything scheduled after my meeting, so I thought I’d come pick you up.” Jeremy tucked her hair

behind her ear. “Hmph! You’re eating spicy food behind my back again?”

Corinne pouted. “I can’t help it… I was craving it.”

Chester’s heart broke into a million pieces when he saw the interaction before him. He never expected the woman

he had been pining for all these years to be married. He planned to confess his feelings to her right after he

graduated so she could see the fine man he had worked hard to become. Alas, someone beat him to it.

He sat back down again and smiled awkwardly. “When did you get married, Corinne?”

“Sometime before the graduation ceremony,” said Corinne after thinking about it.

‘It’d be more accurate to say we were just business partners then….but no harm counting from that day onward

since we’re official now.’

“I see.” Chester was crestfallen. He no longer wanted to share the fun things that happened in school with Corinne

and wanted to leave so badly, but it would be rude to do that when Jeremy had just arrived.

Thus, he forced himself to finish the food on his plate before standing up and saying, “Thanks for buying me lunch,

Corinne. Let’s go out with the rest of the gang sometimes. It’ll be our treat. I’ll take my leave here since I still have

some flyers to pass out.”

Corinne nodded. She then turned to Francine and said, “Francine, you’re done eating, right? Why don’t you go help

Chester pass out the flyers?”

Francine first looked at Corinne with surprise, and she then turned to look at Chester, blushing. Normally, she would

scoff at being asked to do something so menial, but if it was with Chester…she would be more than happy to!

However, Chester shook his head and said, “It’s okay. There’s not much left to pass out, anyway.”

“No, I insist she helps out. She’s been trying to lose some weight recently, so walking around will do her good,”

replied Corinne with a smile.

It dawned on Francine that Corinne was trying to help her, so she quickly nodded and said, “She’s right! I’ve been

trying to lose some weight…”

Chester took everything Corinne said at face value, so he turned to look at Francine. “You’re not fat at all, so there’s

no need for you to lose any weight.”

‘Oh my god! My crush just told me I don’t need to lose any weight. Gah! I’m so happy!’ thought Francine. She

started blushing madly while her heart thumped loudly.

After thinking over it, Chester realized this might be Corinne’s way of asking him to help her lure Francine away so

she could have some alone time with Jeremy. He was happy to help, but he could not help but feel sorry for himself.

Francine quickly followed Chester out of the restaurant. She was so excited that she even forgot about her newly-

bought Hermes bag.

Corinne smiled as she watched the two of them leave.

“So that’s what you do when I’m not around? Flirt with young guys?” asked Jeremy unhappily.
