“Let me walk you out, Jason,” said Sunny as he followed Jason out. He seemed like he had something to discuss with
him.
After they left, Xante turned to Corinne. “You don’t like him, do you, Boss?” she asked softly.
Corinne slowly opened her eyes. “Yeah, no. He’s very annoying.”
A faint light flashed across Xante’s gold-rimmed glasses. “But it seems like he has a crush on you.”
Corinne was not surprised. She sat up and said listlessly, “He’s up to no good, that’s what he is.”
Xante raised her eyebrow. “Not everyone who likes you is up to no good, you know?”
Corinne scoffed lightly. “No one in their right mind would confess their feelings to a married woman, let alone the
wife of his good friend. Do you know he and Jeremy go way back? Tell me, then—what good can he be up to by

Xante actually nodded. After all, men were the same everywhere. Every one of them would have some sort of
unspeakable fetish.
At that moment, Annie walked in with her head hung low. She sat on the sofa listlessly without saying a word.
Corinne immediately noticed something was wrong. “What’s wrong?” she asked with a frown.
Annie shook her head, and despite her best effort to steady her voice, she said tearfully, “It’s nothing. Are you
hungry? Should I go get something for you to eat?”
Corinne could tell Annie was crying before, causing her frown to become even deeper. “What happened? Did Aaron
do or say something to you?”
Annie’s shoulders tensed at the mention of Aaron’s name. She then quickly shook her head. “No, Mister Aaron
didn’t do or say anything to me. He already left with his girlfriend to go to the hotel.”
Corinne did not know what to say to that.
Xante looked at Annie, and then at Corinne. They both knew things were not as simple as that. After all, Annie did
not look like nothing happened to her.
Suddenly, Francine barged in and said angrily, “Stop lying, Annie! Where did the amazing Annie go? How can you let
a man treat you like that? It’s because of girls like you that guys think they can treat us like sh*t! Ugh, you’re driving
me up the wall!”
Francine dropped by Pamela’s ward before going to get the hot water, and she just so happened to bump into
Annie, who was crying while on the phone with someone. She walked a little closer to eavesdrop on the
conversation.
Her hearing was quite good, and the corridor was very quiet since no one was around. Even if the speakerphone
was not turned on, she could still hear the hurtful words Aaron was spewing from the other end of the phone.

Corinne could tell at a glance that Francine knew what had happened, so she ordered her, “Tell me what
happened.”
Francine was beyond mad at that point. “Mister Aaron called Annie to ask her to…to… Gah! I’m too embarrassed to
say it! How is there such a shameless man in this world?!”
Corinne’s brow furrowed. “What did he ask her to do? Tell me, now!”
Blushing, Francine replied, “He asked Annie to buy and deliver to him a certain brand’s condom ’cause he didn’t like
the ones the hotel provided.”
Corinne’s eyes darkened. “Is that so? What brand did he want? I’ll buy and deliver it to him,” said Corinne through
gritted teeth.
After that, she got down from the bed with the intention to deal with the b*stard.
Seeing this, Xante quickly said, “Calm down, Boss. I’ll deal with him later.”
“That punk is getting more out of hand! Seems like I’ve been too lenient to him over the years!”
