Jeremy’s response stunned Corinne. She started to blush with embarrassment when she recalled what happened

that fateful night.

Jeremy’s eyes softened when he saw her blushing like that. Her reaction was exactly what he had been hoping for.

He wished that she would act shyly and nervously-like a girl with raging hormones-around him.

After all, they had not seen each other for a month. He hated how she did not seem happy or surprised to see him.

In fact, she completely ignored his existence.

“Corinne Carew,” Jeremy called out her full name in that deep and seductive voice of his. Being called by one’s full

name was never a good thing in any kind of relationship.

Corinne looked warily at him. “Mister Jeremy, if you have something you want to tell me, just

Say it!!

He pinched her chin and tilted her face up.

“Why are you calling me Mister Jeremy instead of just Mister?”

Corinne thought he was acting a bit odd. She could not tell whether he was unhappy or actually flirting with her. In

any case, given their new relationship status, she thought it would be wrong for her to still call him ‘Mister’.

She frowned and explained seriously, “Mister Jeremy, considering our previous working agreement and the

difference between our ages, it was not wrong for me to call you ‘Mister’. However, now that I’m Mister Lucas’

secretary and you’re his friend, I should address you properly, and not casually like before.”

Jeremy’s eyes darkened at the mention of Lucas. “Why are you still being loyal to him when he was the one who

threw you at the side of the highway? He doesn’t even treat you with the respect any boss should have for his

employee.”

Corinne was speechless.

‘He’s right. I agree with him. Mister Lucas shouldn’t have done that to me.”

After a few seconds of silence, Corinne forced a smile on her face and said, “Well, he’s not the worst boss in the

world. I just need to see this as a test. Besides, I was the one who asked him for this job, and in any case, I’m good

with having him as my boss as long as he pays me in a timely manner every month.”

Jeremy was both frustrated and heartbroken at how stubborn Corinne was being.

‘How can she still smile like that when that b*stard treated her like this?’

He was initially angry at her for running away from home and also at the fact that she

purposely covered her tracks to prevent him from finding her, but his anger disappeared when he saw that she was

okay and unharmed.

He told himself that nothing was more important than her coming back safe and sound.

‘It’s fine that she didn’t say goodbye to me when she left the house. Don’t get angry at her. Don’t force her to

explain. Everything’s fine as long as she’s okay and I have her by my side.’

He also told himself that Corinne was still young and curious about the world, so it was understandable of her to

want to see as much of the world as possible.

‘It’s fine as long as she knows to eventually come back home.”

He was silent for a good long while, trying to talk himself into not being angry at her. He would not want her to try

running away; not when he had just found her.

Once he felt he had composed herself, he turned to look greedily at Corinne’s delectable lips. He brushed those lips

with his thumb and said, “I can pay you a salary too if you want. Just say a number and I’ll give it to you, so why

don’t you come home with me?”

‘Go home with him? Is this his way of coaxing me to go home with him?’ thought Corinne.

She was stunned. There were so many gray areas in what he just said.

“Mister Jeremy, please have some self-respect for yourself. I’m only selling my skills, not my body!”

Jeremy’s face immediately stiffened up. He rarely put down his pride like that and yet it seemed like the whole thing

had backfired on him.

‘Is that what she thinks of me?’

He did not know whether to laugh or cry. “Money is money, Corinne. You’re making it sound like Lucas’ money is

better than mine.”

Corinne felt like she had been violated. ‘How can he ask me to go home with him when he already has a wife and

kid? Who does he think I am?’

In her mind, him paying her to go home with him was as good as asking her to be his mistress.

‘Huh! Look at the way he’s looking at me. He’s definitely thinking of doing something dirty to me,’ thought Corinne.
