Corinne thought was interrupted by Jeremy’s sudden movement. She secretly took a deep breath to compose herself. Then, she pulled out a card and was just about to place it on the

table.

Suddenly, Jeremy’s hand roughly forced her to put the card she wanted to place on the table back into her hand before picking another card and throwing that one onto the table.

Corinne was stunned. However, realization dawned on her when she saw the card Jeremy picked. ‘Yes. Why didn’t I think of that? I’ll definitely have a bigger chance of winning by letting go of that card.”

She cocked her head to look at Jeremy, not understanding why he was helping her when he completely ignored her earlier.

Their eyes met.

“What are you looking at me for? Focus on the cards!” said Jeremy harshly.

Corinne was speechless. “Tsk. Why’s he being so mean to me?” Sᴇaʀch Thᴇ FindNøvᴇl.nᴇt website on Gøøglᴇ to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.

She was grateful for his help and wanted to thank him for his unexpected act of kindness, but she changed her mind after that.

Pouting, she turned her head away and looked at the cards in her hand with a frown on her face. ‘Gah, I’m so annoyed!’

Everyone was a little surprised at Jeremy’s action but at the same time, found it reasonable.

Zeke and Gerald looked at each other with their eyebrows raised. Then they turned to look at Corinne with mixed emotions.

Corinne who had been immune to his advances-was calm and peaceful throughout the entire card game. In fact, she took everything in stride with nary a frown on her face. Then came Jeremy who only had to sit beside her to make her all worked up.

‘She looks so cute, all huffy and puffy like that. How come she’s never like that with me?

With Jeremy’s guidance, Corinne found it much easier to win the game. Occasionally, he would rearrange the cardz for her and whisper to tell her what to take note of. He would talk to her in a neutral tone but for some reason, Corinne would still feel pressured by his presence.

Her priority then was to win the card game. Therefore, she was willing to put down her pride and follow whatever Jeremy told her to do.

After a few rounds of the game, Zeke realized the ship had salled and that he was not going to win anymore. so he said, “Jeremy, do you know it’s not gentlemanly to interfere with other people’s card games?”

Jeremy was unfazed by his pointed remark. He glanced coldly at him and said, “Well, do you know it’s not gentlemanly to cheat in card games?”

Zeke spent his free time learning magic tricks and one of them was sleight of hand in card games.

Having been exposed by his good friend, Zeke simply smiled. He did not see anything wrong in what he did. “Jeremy, just which side are you on? Corinne is now working for Lucas and she has nothing to do with you, so why are you helping her?”

Corinne did not know how to react to Zeke’s words. Him saying that was as good as putting a spotlight on the fact that Corinne and Jeremy were trying to avoid each other. It had the effect. of changing the atmosphere in the room.

Jeremy picked up the glass of water on the table and took a sip emotionlessly. “It’s not that I want to help her. It’s just that… I really want to see you do a strip dance.”

Zeke frowned and covered his chest in mock horror. “Jeremy, I only see you as a good friend so don’t even think of…”

Jeremy’s face darkened and he threw Zeke a disgusted look. “Cut it out,” he spat coldly.

Corinne looked at the dramatic Zeke and then cocked her head at Jeremy. She realized he had drunk from her glass-the one that Jason poured for her.

‘Why’s he drinking from my glass again?’
