Chapter 378
It did not take long until Jeremy and Corinne reached home.
Corinne was exhausted after having been pestered by Sunny all afternoon, and since her belly was full,
she wanted nothing more than to take a shower and sleep.
Jeremy followed her upstairs, and the moment she put her hand on the doorknob, he reached behind
her and ced his on the knob too so that the two handsid on top of one
another. It was as if he nned this.
Corinne frowned and stopped turning the doorknob. She looked up at Jeremy and asked, “Mister, what
are you doing?” Jeremy put his lips close to her ear and whispered, “I want to…
Corinne instinctively tucked her neck as he got closer. “What… do you want?” she stammered as if she
had just seen a ghost.
Jeremy moved his lips close to her ear again and whispered huskily, “I want to go in.”
His answer made Corinne think of dirty thoughts. The words ‘ go in‘ sounded so seductiveing from
his mouth, so much so that she could not help but blush.
Her entire body throbbed with desire, but she would not give in to him. “Mister, how can I believe that
you’re serious about me when you’re so impatient?”
The hand that was holding hers tightened a little before letting go. Jeremy straightened himself and
tousled her head. ” Fine, I’ll be patient and wait until the day you ask me into your
room. I’ll let you rest now.”
Jeremy had turned to leave for his study when Corinne turned around and said, “Wait, Mister. I’ve
forgotten to tell you something.”
Jeremy stopped in his tracks and turned around. “Yes? Go on.”

Corinne crooked her finger, signaling him to bend down a little as if she wanted to whisper some
secrets into his ear but could not since he was too tall.
Jeremy narrowed his eyes, bent down, and brought his ear close to her face.
Corinne then stood on her toes and gave him a peck on the cheek before saying, “Mister, thank you for
going out of your way to bring me an umbre today. This is the first time anyone has ever done that for
me. I’m very grateful for it. Good night.”
A kiss and a good night–that was all that was needed to make Jeremy’s heart soften. However, it was a
pity that Corinne closed the door in his face before he could even say anything. With a loud bang, she
had slipped into the room, and he could even hear her locking the door! That extinguished whatever
tender affection Jeremy had for her at that moment. It seemed like the softer she was to him, the more
she could not wait to get away from him.
Jeremy was speechless. He looked at the locked door and
touched the spot where Corinne kissed him, and he could feel the warmth of her lips lingering. Thinking
back to the kiss, he smiled and started to make his way to the study.
After taking a shower, Corinne turned on herputer and logged into thepany email ount to
check if she received any feedback on her drawings from Jeremy. As
expected, there was an unreal email from him in the inbox, so she clicked it right away.
The content of his reply was simple and short as if saying anything more would cost him more. It only
took Corinne to read this one sentence.
[Your design is pretty good, but it doesn’t quite capture the feeling I was looking for.]
This immediately elicited a frown from Corinne. ‘All clients are all the same. They’ll give you free rein to
be creative at the beginning but thene back with feedback such as this. How am I supposed to edit
the design when they don’t give me any concrete feedback?‘
After giving it some thought, Corinne replied, [Mister Holden, I’m so sorry that you’re not satisfied with
the design. May I ask what kind of design you are looking for? I would really appreciate it if you could
provide me with a brief description you have in mind. Thank you!]
After hitting the ‘send‘ button, Corinne went to blow–dry her hair. By the time it was dried, she had
already received a reply from Jeremy.
This time, the content was a bit longer.
