Corinne regained his senses. “Nothing. You can wait for Mister Jeremy here. I’m going to go now.” Sᴇaʀch Thᴇ (F)indNƟvᴇl.ɴet website on Gøøglᴇ to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.

Upon saying that, she wanted to first hail a cab to leave.

However, Sunny stopped her. “You’re going to leave now? Jeremy said he will give us a lift later. Why do you want to spend money hailing a cab?”

Corinne said, “I’m in a hurry to go back to the office.”

Sunny did not budge. “Why are you in a hurry? Didn’t you already finish your work?”

Corinne was speechless to hear that. “I’ve finished my work for the morning, but I still have work to do in the afternoon! Mister Sunny, do you think working is easy?”

Sunny did not believe the reason she gave him at all. He stared at her face with his handsome eyes, assessing and inquiring. “Corinne, could it be because you’re afraid to face Jeremy that you’re in such a hurry to leave?”

Corinne was at a loss for words.

Sunny thought he saw through her and he raised his chin. “What’s the matter? You know my sister and Jeremy are together now, so you can’t accept it? I’ve given you a word of advice a long time ago. I’ve told you that you and Jeremy are not suited. He will choose my sister in the end. You didn’t believe me!”

Corinne chuckled. “Mister Sunny, can you please not use your imagination to judge other people’s thoughts?”

Sunny said proudly, “Who’s imagining things? If it’s not what I said, then just wait with me for Jeremy to give us a lift! Otherwise, you are hiding something!”

Corinne was truly made speechless by Sunny. In the end, she was pulled back into the antique store by Sunny again.

Jeremy was already sitting by the coffee table in the store, having coffee quietly while waiting. It was the owner of the store who personally came to entertain him. “Have a look at this, Mister Jeremy! This is an antique vase from the seventeenth century that I deliberately transferred from the southwest region. Do you like it?”

Jeremy glanced at it, then said in an indifferent but straightforward manner, “Alright. Pack it up.”

The owner was delighted as soon as he heard that. “Alright. Here, pack this vase up for Mister Jeremy. Do it carefully!”

“Yes, sir!” said his staff.

Out of curiosity, Sunny leaned in to look at that rare vase as well.

Corinne did not get closer. She was very reluctant to leave in Jeremy’s car, to begin with. However, she could not do anything to Sunny, so was dragged back into the store again. If she sneaked off, then she truly would not be able to explain herself anymore. It would look as if she was very guilty and did not dare to face Jeremy!

It was not that she did not dare to face him, she just did not want to.

However, since she was already dragged back into the store, she just went along with the flow. Therefore, she started to wander around the antique store.

When she was bored, she picked up the small wooden horse that she saw earlier and carefully appreciated the craftsmanship while holding it.

The small wooden horse was carved exquisitely, but the surface was a little worn; it must have been the work of its previous owner. The color was very dark and the polish was shiny.

She liked the horse very much. She was hesitating earlier if she should buy it. However, after giving it a thought, she felt there was much use for it.

At that moment, the staff of the antique store came over and said to her, “I’m sorry, miss. The item in your hands was bought by another customer. May I have it so I can pack it up?”

Did somebody buy it? Corinne looked at the staff, then she looked around the store again. Other than herself and Sunny, there was only one other customer in the store-Jeremy. Could he be the one who bought it?

At that moment, Jeremy was still sitting in a laid-back manner by the coffee table in the store. As an important customer that was hard to come by, there was no need for him to shop around himself. The owner would have his staff bring the most precious items in the store to him for him to pick, which made him look like a ruthless capitalist.

Also, Jeremy’s deep-set eyes were squinting a little, seemingly looking in her direction but maybe he was not.

Corinne looked away. Feeling a little disappointed, she handed the small wooden horse to the staff. Without looking at the man anymore, she walked to a further place to look at other items.
