Chapter 358


    Jeremy narrowed his eyes at Anya before turning back to face Corinne with a questioning look, asking


    her what he should do.


    Corinne furrowed her brow. ‘Why is he looking at me like that again? What… Is he asking me to be the


    bad guy here ‘cause he’s too embarrassed to turn down his ‘savior‘? Man, he’s really devious, huh? Oh


    well, I’ll help him out this one time, seeing as how he’s been really nice to me for the past


    few days.”


    Corinne rested her chin on one hand andzily turned to look at Anya. “Miss Anya, you know that your


    brother’s subordinate can’t bete to work, yet you don’t seem to realize that this applies to your


    Jeremy, too.”


    Thebination of the word ‘your‘ and ‘Jeremy‘ caused the man beside her to frown.


    Anya felt wronged. The corners of her eyes turned down, making her look even more fragile and


    innocent. “No, Corinne. I didn’t mean it like that… I just thought that it’ll be fine if Jeremy iste since


    he’s the boss of thepany, whereas Edmund is just an ordinary worker who has to clock. in at work


    on time. Lucas has a strict system in ce and will punish anyone who’ste to work.”


    Corinne smirked. “Oh my, you’re certainly very considerate of others. No wonder the people around


    you are so willing to go through fire and water for you. However, you’ve forgotten one thing. It was your


    brother who sent Edmund here, so he’s technically on the clock, therefore he shouldn’t be punished if


    he’ste to the office. Besides, I believe that Edmund wouldn’t have worked with your brother for so


    many years if your brother was this harsh to his right–hand man.”


    Here, Corinne took a yawn before adding, “But I’m fine if Jeremy is willing to give you a ride ‘cause it’s


    true what you said–your house is along the way to his office after all.”


    She smirked before turning around and raising her eyebrows mischievously at Jeremy. “Am I right,


    Mister?”


    Jeremy did not answer her. Instead, he coldly ordered, “Tommy, please send Miss Anya back to


    her house.”


    “Yes, Mister Jeremy.”

    Anya’s gaze faltered when she heard that. “Jeremy, aren’t you going to the office today? Can’t you just


    give me a ride? You don’t have to trouble Tommy…” she said in a manner that made it obvious to


    anyone there that she was pretending to not want to trouble Tommy.


    Jeremy remained indifferent to Anya. He gestured with his chin at Corinne. “The little rascal is getting


    jealous, so I think it’s best if I don’t give you a ride.”


    Corinne was speechless. ‘Hello, I’m jealous? Mister is way out of line. How can he use me like that


    when he’s the one who doesn’t want to give a ride to Anya? That’s emotional ckmailing!‘


    Anya was a little stunned. Her eyes were filled with hurt, and she was about to say something more


    when Tommy beat her to it. He raised his hand slightly as a gesture of invitation and said, ” Miss Anya,


    please follow me out. I’ll take you home right away.”


    Anya had no choice but to smile awkwardly, even though the expression of unwillingness was written


    all over her face. “Alright, then. Sorry for taking up your time, Jeremy. I’ll leave with Tommy now, she


    said politely.


    Jeremy nodded and did not spare another nce at her.


    Anya mentally gritted her teeth before smiling at Corinne. “Bye, Corinne. I’lle another day to visit


    you.”


    “Off you go, then said Corinne.


    Anya was speechless. She marched away angrily with Edmund following behind her.
