Aaron turned and said worriedly, “But what if she does something stupid? It’s obvious she has fallen head over
heels with Mister Jeremy, so what if she…”
Xante spat at him. “You’re talking nonsense! When have you ever seen her do something stupid because of a man?
You should have more trust in her.”
After thinking about it, Aaron slumped back down on the sofa. “That b*stard is worse than trash! In fact, he’s even
worse than me! How can he pretend to love Corinne while he’s already married to some chick abroad?”
…
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtCorinne went up to the rooftop to get some fresh air.
Since Twilight was under the helm of Newmoon Group, which meant a lot of the employees there knew her, she
could go whenever she wanted in the building.
She dangled her arms over the railing and looked to the horizon, trying to empty her mind, when she heard some
noise coming from one of the balconies below. Looking down, she saw it was Jeremy who had come out to smoke.
From the first day she met Jeremy, apart from thinking he was aloof and a bit difficult to get along with, she never
questioned his morals. Thus, she never imagined he would be married already.
‘So that’s why he’s been avoiding getting legally married to me. Wait a minute… Doesn’t this mean I’m the mistress
in this scenario?’
At that moment, a girl dressed in a spaghetti-strap dress walked over to the balcony to flirt with Jeremy.
“Did you come alone, Mister Jeremy?” asked the girl.
Jeremy puffed out a mouthful of smoke before giving her a passing glance.
Seeing he did not seem to be annoyed with her presence, the girl walked closer to him.
“I heard you’re married, Mister Jeremy. Why didn’t you bring your wife along with you?” asked the girl with a smile.
Jeremy narrowed his eyes and asked in an ambiguous tone, “Who told you that?”
The girl smiled even wider. “Well, I read it online. Is the rumor not true, then?”
Jeremy chuckled softly. “Only dumb people would believe all those clickbait articles.”
The girl’s eyes lit up. “So that means you’re still single?”

Corinne actually laughed out loud when she heard his answer, but it was because of how stupid she was.
‘Well, he just proves me wrong again and again. I must be blind to not see any of his red flags!’ she thought.
The girl on the balcony looked up, but Corinne was long gone by then.
“That’s weird. Mister Jeremy, did you hear someone laughing?”
Jeremy flicked his cigarette ash before following the girl to look up. He saw nobody too.
“I didn’t hear anything. It could just be the wind.”
The girl looked confused. She could have sworn she heard someone laughing mockingly and pathetically.
‘Was it just my imagination? Oh well. It’s not every day I get to talk to Mister Jeremy, so I must make good use of
this chance!’
