Chapter 558


    As Jeremy closed in on her, Corinne’s bright eyes shifted awkwardly. “Because I hate the smell of


    cigarettes!”


    Jeremy frowned, bending over to lean closer toward her. He exhaled a puff of smoke above her head


    as if he was bullying her, then said with a slightly mocking tone, “If you hate the smell of cigarettes, stay


    away from me.”


    Upon saying that, he put out his cigarette by rubbing it against the wall behind Corinne, then he threw it


    into the trash can in front of him, hitting a bullseye.


    Corinne hugged the wall as she walked, to begin with, so after Jeremy stopped her and closed in on


    her, she leaned back until there was no way she could retreat anymore.


    At that moment, Corinne was almostpletely in the man’s arms with her back against the wall and


    his arm above her head. She frowned, exhibiting resistance, and red at the man unhappily, “How am


    I supposed to stay away from you with you being like this? Please move, Mister Jeremy, and I’ll


    certainly stay away from you!”


    The man seemed to have seen through something in her eyes. He squinted, exuding a dangerous air.


    “Are you very nervous, Miss Corinne?”


    Corinne was speechless.


    He was so close to her that he already went over the limit for a normal social distance. Anybody would


    be nervous in that situation!


    Jeremy did not n to retreat. He stared into her eyes as if he was not going to stop until he pierce


    through her soul.


    There was practically no space between them as they looked into each other’s eyes, filling an unusual


    air around them.


    Jeremy kept feeling that this woman did not seem like she was truly already married. It seemed like she


    hid something.


    “Dear, I’ll get jealous if you stand so close to another man in front of our home!” Suddenly, a man’s


    gentle yet usatory voice could be hearding from another direction.


    It was Aaron.


    Aaron looked at them, smiling with an eyebrow raised. “Mister Jeremy, could you please stay away


    from my wife? I’m an easily jealous man. I don’t like other men getting too close to my woman!”


    Jeremy frowned. He was just suspecting if Corinne was in a false marriage earlier. At that moment, he


    saw her husband appearing, looking jealous. The bit of suspicion he had waspletely dispelled.


    He pulled back his arm that was pushing against the wall and straightened his back, letting Corinne go.


    It was only then Corinne could break herself free. She immediately distanced herself from the


    dangerous man and walked to her subordinate, Aaron.


    Aaron’s acting was superb. He held her shoulders and said gently, “Dear, why did you trouble Mister


    Jeremy to take you home again? It’s not good to keep troubling others. You have to call me next time


    and ask me to pick you up. Got it?”


    Corinne could not help but be made speechless by Aaron’s acting. However, she had to cooperate with


    him. “Oh, I got it! Were you in a meeting just now? I was afraid I’ll interrupt you! I just met Mister


    Jeremy not too far away in front. He helped me drive a few evil people with ill intentions. We then


    wandered here together!”


    “So that’s what happened!” Aaron smiled gently and thoughtfully at Corinne, then he looked up at the


    man with a sullen expression in the near distance. Putting on a fake smile, he said, ‘ What a helpful


    person you are, Mister Jeremy. You liked to rescue the damsel in distress and. send another person’s


    wife home so much!”


    His words sounded like he was iming his rights over her a little.


    Feelingplicated, Jeremy shot a nce at Corinne, who was standing beside another man, then he


    looked at Aaron with a cold, harsh gaze. “If you care about your wife, have a few more people


    protecting her these few days, don’t let her go to work, and fulfill your responsibility as a husband!”


    “My wife is working purely because of her interest. I respect her, so of course, I will also do my best to


    fulfill my responsibility to her. Even if I amcking in any way, there’s no need for you. to do my job for


    me!”


    The tension between them rose as they spoke to each other.


    Jeremy looked at Aaron, who was looking down at him indifferently from the corner of his eye, then


    sneered a little, exuding a murderous air around him. “If you don’t give others a chance, nobody will be


    able to do your job for you!”Belongs to ? n0velDrama.Org.
