Anya looked happy. She walked up to Corinne and said, “Corinne, what a coincidence to see you here too!”

“Yeah, I guess you can say that,” said Corinne indifferently.

Anya turned her attention toward Jason

hand

who still was holding the shopping basket in his and smiled coyly, “Jason, what are you doing here with Corinne?”

Jason beamed a smile back at her and said, “Corinne has just been promoted to become the sales manager in Rivera Group today. Meaning to say she’ll be in charge of all the products that the company supplies to Talbot’s so I brought her here to get herself familiarized with

the market.”

Corinne was relieved that Jason told her the truth instead of giving her an answer that could. be taken the wrong way.

‘Okay, so he does know how to rein it in when there are other people present.’

Anya blinked in astonishment. “Congratulations on the promotion, Corinne!” Sᴇaʀch Thᴇ FindNʘᴠᴇl.nᴇt website on Gøøglᴇ to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.

Corinne knew Anya did not mean that so she simply smiled and said, “Thank you.”

“Jeremy and I were just browsing through the baby section but didn’t find what we were looking for so now we’re going for lunch. Have the two of you had lunch yet? If not, do you want to join us?” Anya

then looked at Jeremy and tilted her head innocently. “Is that okay, Jeremy?”

“Whatever you like,” said Jeremy indifferently and without a hint of emotion on his

handsome face.

Anya smiled as if she was the luckiest woman in the world to have Jeremy before continuing to speak to Corinne in the same enthusiastic tone as before. “Jason, Corinne, let’s go! Jeremy will treat us to lunch.”

Jason was happy to go to lunch with them but he knew not to make the decision himself. Instead, he looked at Corinne and respectfully asked for her wishes, “How about it, Corinne?”

Corinne was not interested in having lunch with Anya. Besides, her experiences told her that nothing good would ever come out of hanging out with Anya.

“Mister Jason, thank you for taking time out of your busy schedule to bring me here. Unfortunately, I still have some work to do in the office so I’ll head off first but you should stay and have lunch with your friends.”

After bidding farewell to the other two people, she then turned and left.

Jason did not want to force her so he was about to leave with her too when Anya – still with

Joey in her arms – ran up and stood in front of Corinne.

“Corinne, you haven’t had your lunch, right? That won’t do. You can always work after having your lunch. Don’t worry, I’ll let Lucas know you’ll go back to the office a bit late ’cause you’re having lunch with me. That way he’ll let the whole thing slide.”

“Thank you but I prefer eating at the company’s cafeteria.”

Anya immediately became crestfallen at Corinne’s insistence to leave.

“Corinne, why does it feel like you don’t want to have lunch with me? Do you hate me because of all the misunderstandings we had between us before?”

Corinne raised her eyebrow at her.

“You’re overthinking this, Miss Anya. I’m just in the mood for something lighter today and don’t want to spoil everyone’s appetite because of that.”

An innocent smile immediately appeared on Anya’s face when she heard Corinne’s explanation.

“Oh, that’s great then! Joey is in the mood for something lighter too. We were planning to go to a sushi restaurant and they have lots of salad rolls so let’s go together!”

Corinne smiled coldly at Anya. She knew the reason Anya insisted on her going with them was because she wanted to show off their happy family of three to her.

“This drama queen knows how to pick her audience. Looks like she’s not going to give up until I agree to go have lunch with them.’

Corinne was tired of her nagging so she finally said, “Fine. I’ll go to lunch with you all.”

“You’re the best, Corinne! I knew you’re not one to let what happened in the past affect our friendship now!” said Anya happily.
