Soon, they arrived at the apartment Corinne shared with Xante and Aaron.
As soon as she entered the unit, Corinne curled herself up on the sofa. Having not seen her for half a year, her pet
cat was so excited that it could not stop rubbing itself against her.
Aaron went to the open-plan kitchen to get her a warm cup of milk. “Here you go, Boss,” he said as he placed it on
top of the table.
“Thanks,” said Corinne, but she did not touch it. Instead, she remained seated with Mimi curled up in her lap, lost in
thought.
This was the first time Annie had been at the apartment. She started looking around, and when she saw Corinne
stroking a cat, she said worriedly, “Corinne, I don’t think it’s safe to be around an animal when you’re pregnant.”

Annie was speechless. Corinne had never spoken to her like that before. ‘She must be angry at me because I’m
related to Uncle Jeremy,’ she thought.
Aaron washed up some fruit and placed them on the table before smiling and saying to Annie, “Don’t worry. The cat
goes for regular deworming at the vet, so it’s safe.”
“Oh. Okay…” said Annie with a nod.
She came to persuade Corinne to go back home, but she found herself not daring to even bring up Jeremy’s name
after Corinne’s harsh reminder.
Aaron put on some soothing music on the television before covering Corinne with a blanket. After that, he gestured
to Annie with his eyebrow and whispered, “Let’s give her some quiet time. Come with me.”
Annie nodded and followed Aaron to where he was gesturing. However, she did not expect him to bring her into his
bedroom! She thought that room would be a study, a gym, or anything else.
When she saw the bed in the room, realization immediately dawned on her.
She felt a little lost, not knowing whether to stand or sit.
Aaron passed her a bottle of Coke. “You can sit wherever you like!”
Annie stood awkwardly after she accepted the bottle.
The only places to sit in the room were the bed and a bean bag chair. Annie thought it would not be appropriate to
sit on either.
Aaron cracked open his beer and leaned on the shelf. “What? Are you afraid that I’ll eat you up?” he asked with a
smirk.

Annie was not happy at the insinuation. She stood up a little straighter and said angrily, “No! It’s just that I have
nowhere to sit. Mister Aaron, don’t you think it’s inappropriate for you to bring me into your room? I think we should
go into another room.”
Aaron shrugged. “There’s nothing inappropriate about it since I’m not going to do anything to you.”
Annie started blushing. “I didn’t imply you were going to do anything to me. I just think it’s not appropriate for me
to be in your bedroom.”
Aaron threw his head back to gulp down his beer before walking over to her. He then leaned down and smiled at
her. “It won’t be inappropriate if no one knows you’re in here.”
Annie took a step back. “Who says no one would know? Have you forgotten Corinne is right outside?”
“Well, she’s one of us. She’s not going to tell.”
“No! That won’t do either. I… I have a boyfriend. He’ll be mad if he finds out I was in another man’s bedroom. I’m
going out now!”
Annie hated how her heart would inevitably start skipping like crazy whenever she was with Aaron.
