After all, Jeremy did not seem to be as put off as he did with Jason when Corinne hung out with Zeke or Gerald
alone.
“Why do you say that? Isn’t Mister Jason an old friend of Jeremy’s? As his wife, shouldn’t I at least act polite to
him?” she asked.
Tommy looked at her complicatedly. “Mister Jason is an old friend of Mister Jeremy, but I wouldn’t call them close.
Mister Jason is actually closer to Mister Lucas, while Mister Zeke and Mister Gerald are close to Mister Jeremy.
“Mister Zeke and Mister Gerald would never do anything that would harm Mister Jeremy nor would they overstep
their boundaries when it comes to you, Ma’am. However, the same can’t be said about Mister Jason.

think he’s going to stop until he gets what he wants.”
Corinne chuckled softly. “So guys form cliques and have drama between themselves too. Hahaha! But don’t worry,
Tommy, I have no interest whatsoever in Mister Jason. He can try to flirt with me all he wants, but I’ll never let him
steal me away.”
Tommy looked visibly relieved after he heard Corinne say that. “I’m glad to asked you to call him.”
Corinne was a little taken aback. “Okay, I’ll call him later. You can go back to your room now. I’ll make sure to keep
my door locked, so you don’t need to keep a lookout outside my room.”
“Yes, Ma’am. Goodnight, Ma’am,” said Tommy with a nod. He was indeed tired. ‘I need to make sure I get a good
night’s rest tonight so I can guard Miss Corinne well.’
He knew the situation was safe for the time being since Corinne was told not to eat any food prepared in the house.
Moreover, Phoebe would never dare openly hurt her. Thus, he went back to his room in peace.
Jason, too, did not bother Corinne anymore. He went straight into the guest room prepared for him and stayed in
there the whole night.
After Corinne finished taking her shower, she walked out of the bathroom and dried her hair with a towel as she sat
lazily on the bed. She then picked up the phone and, after a brief hesitation, dialed Jeremy’s number. The phone
rang for quite a while before he finally answered.
“Hello?” He sounded like he had just woken up.
Given the time difference between the two countries, it was not surprising to find him sleeping at that hour.
“Tommy asked me to call you,” said Corinne indifferently.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏm“Why did you only call me when I asked you to? Why couldn’t you have called me first?” questioned Jeremy
unhappily.
‘Heh! I could’ve said the same thing to him! It’s not like he made any effort to call or text me for the past few days!’
thought Corinne.
However, out loud, she simply asked, “So how can I help you?”
After a few seconds of silence, Jeremy said, “Little rascal, I—”
However, before Jeremy could finish, a woman’s voice interrupted him in the background.
“Jeremy, what are you doing? Hurry up! We need to leave soon!”
