Chapter 126

Goran sat down and began to introduce his new movie concept in an attempt to attract the four distinguished company presidents to invest in him.

Meanwhile, Sherlyn sat meekly beside him and stared absent-mindedly at Jeremy. She became. overwhelmed with emotions the more she looked at that handsome man, and that surge of emotions inevitably made her feel even more regretful.

It was not too long ago that she nearly got married to Jeremy. The entourage that the Holdens. sent to pick up the bride had stepped into the door of their home, but for some reason, shel missed out on the opportunity and everything failed.

The exorbitant dowry that the Holdens gave to her family was still kept safe in her home. She imagined how she could have been Missus Holden if she was married off to the Holdens by mistake. Then, she could rightfully sit beside Jeremy while being looked up to and envied by all.

women.

As she fantasized about what could have been, she knocked over the cup of tea that the tea brewer had poured for her, and the tea dripped onto her dress.

"Crap!" Sherlyn stood up in shock and hurriedly cleaned up the tea on the high-end evening dress she borrowed from a luxury brand.

"Are you alright, Sherlyn? Did you scald yourself?" Goran asked with concern.

"I'm fine..." Sherlyn felt embarrassed due to her gaffe and immediately ordered her assistant, Corinne! Take some tissues out of my bag and give them to me!"

"Okay." Corinne, who was in the room by virtue of her position as Sherlyn's assistant, had been holding Sherlyn's bag dutifully the entire time. She replied to Sherlyn in an extremely soft tone and then lowered her head to rummage through the bag for a tissue. When she finally found it, shel handed it over to Sherlyn.

Though she seemed to be doing her duties diligently, she was, in fact, cursing at Sherlyn mentally.' I can't believe Sherlyn called me by my name right in front of them! I hope Mister didn't hear it!"

Corinne was glad that her name was not particularly unique as there were many spelling variations to her name, as well as several other names that sounded similar. She hoped that it would not necessarily attract their attention.

Meanwhile, Sherlyn was so worried about her luxury dress that she did not notice the four men. looking up simultaneously as soon as she called out Corinne's name. They all zoned their attention on her assistant who had kept her head down since she entered the room.

"Doesn't the name Corinne sound familiar, Jeremy?" Zeke teased with a smile.

The girl sported twin braids and wore a calico dress. The stern gaze that Jeremy directed at her was so strong that it could almost burn a hole through her body. Though Corinne could sense his chilling gaze, she lowered her head silently, not wanting to acknowledge Jeremy's existence there even though he already noticed her presence. After all, she did not want more people to know about her relationship with Jeremy, especially not the Carews. She would never hear the end of it

if

any one of them knew.

Sherlyn finally cleaned up her dress and raised her head. Just as she was about to apologize for her carelessness earlier, she found that the four men at the table were all staring at Corinne.

'What's going on?' Sherlyn was a little displeased. She dressed Corinne up like a country bumpkin, but the girl somehow still turned heads!

'Being a vixen runs in her veins! How annoying!'

Sherlyn forced a smile and interrupted, "May I ask why all four of you are looking at my assistant like that? Is her fashion sense laughable?" Jeremy shifted his cold gaze to Sherlyn and narrowed his eyes slightly. "She's your assistant?"
