Anya’s large doe eyes stared at Corinne as Anya slowly approached her. “So you’re Corinne!”

Corinne nodded. “Yes, I’m Corinne.”

‘What is that? Is she looking for a fight?‘ she thought.

Being close to each other, Anya suddenly grabbed Corinne’s hands intimately. With an apologetic expression, she said, ” I’m sorry. I didn’t know it was you. I thought you were a guest

Corinne was not used to having physical contact with the person she first met. Calmly, she withdrew her hands and smiled faintly. “It’s alright. We’ve never met before, so it’s normal that you don’t know me.”

Nevertheless, Anya did not mind it and smiled purely. “I’ve been hearing Jeremy talking about you on the phone when I was away.”

Corinne raised her brow. “Is that so? What did he say about me?”

She bet nothing good about her would come out of Jeremy’s mouth. S~ᴇaʀᴄh the Findɴovel.ɴet website on Gøøglᴇ to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.

Anya looked at her admiringly, and her smile looked so pure and sincere. “Jeremy praised you all the time. He said you’re a smart girl and not the type of girl who’d think of ways to marry into a rich life. He also said you know your place and are a girl with principles. You always keep a safe distance from him. Anyway, he kept on going about how nice you are.”

That was quite a lot, which meant they probably called each other very often.

From Corinne’s point of view, she did not think Jeremy was praising her. She figured he was reporting his daily life to Anya and making sure she did not think he was developing feelings for Corinne.

‘Hoho! I didn’t know Jeremy was such a self–aware person. He has a very strong survival instinct,‘ mused Corinne.

Corinne stretched her lips and said, “Well, I should be thanking him for all the compliments.”

“Corinne, thank you for helping Jeremy to deal with his family during this period,” said Anya sincerely.

“It’s nothing.” Corinne smiled helplessly. As a matter of fact, she was forced to do this.

“You’re so nice. I have a feeling that we’re going to be best friends.” Anya then grabbed Corinne’s hands again as if

regretting only knowing Corinne, and she blinked at her light- heartedly, trying to get on her good side.

Anya was too passionate.

Corinne was too embarrassed to withdraw her hands a second time, so she endured the discomfort.

There was nothing wrong with Anya, but Corinne refused to be friends with the people from Jeremy’s circle.

When the contract period was over, Jeremy–as well as those she knew that came with knowing him– would have nothing to do with her.

“Jeremy! You’re back!” Suddenly, Anya let go of Corinne’s hand and ran over to the door happily.

Corinne turned back and saw Jeremy.

He had just come in from the door, looking rather anxious.

Oddly, he still had the formal suit he was wearing yesterday on him. The wind had tousled his hair with a few strands standing up. It made him look less stern, more genial than his usual mature and calm look.

His focus remained on Corinne the moment he walked into the

house. His long, narrow eyes were bloodshot. It looked as though he had grown stubbles on both sides of his cheeks.

He looked much different than how he used to look. He looked

rugged, exhausted, unkempt, and dangerous.

Moreover, he looked…haggard, which his strong, cool face never once showed before.

Overnight, it looked as though Jeremy slimmed down a lot.

Corinne could not help and wonder if he had overindulged last night…

She narrowed her eyes and thought, ‘They haven’t seen each other for a long time. I bet they couldn’t control themselves and held each other in their arms throughout the night,

especially with how passionately Jeremy confessed his love to her.‘
