Chapter 707


    Instead of turning his attention to Lucas, Cedric simply smiled and asked Corinne, “Corinne, how old


    are you?”


    Corinne took a sip of tea before answering, “I’ll be twenty this year.”


    “Twenty? Why, that’s perfect!” Cedric nodded satisfactorily before his expression became solemn. “If I


    guess correctly, you’re probably still single, right? Well, it’s a good thing I know an excellent guy who’s


    still single too. Do you want me to introduce him to you?”


    Corinne smiled and said, “1…”


    “There’s no need to be shy, child! It’s best for a woman to get hitched as soon as possible’ cause


    otherwise all the good men will be taken and all that’s left will be crooks and sc*ms!” added Cedric.


    Jeremy frowned when he heard this. He took a sip of tea before sneaking a peek at Corinne.


    The corner of Corinne’s mouth started twitching. She never expected the reason Cedric asked her to


    stay was so he could set her up with a guy. Cedric seemed to be on a roll as he started selling the good


    points of the guy he wanted to introduce to Corinne.


    “Corinne, you’re my savior so I’ll never introduce any guy who I don’t think is worthy enough for you. It


    just so happens an old professor friend of mine has a grandson who’s a professional singer with his


    own albums! Meaning to say he’s one of those idols who’s worshiped by young women like you. He’s


    not only good-looking but he can sing and dance as well! Not to mention he came from a really good


    family. I know all this because I watched him grow up. He’s definitely a good man who you can spend


    the rest of your life with.”


    Corinne was about to turn down the offer when Cedric suddenly burst forth with the guy’s name. “He’s


    called Eddy Wilde. I must say he’s quite popr. You can look him up online if you don’t believe me.


    There are loads of his photos and videos online. One look at them and you’ll know I wasn’t lying when I


    said he’s very good-looking.”


    Corinne initially felt resistance to the idea of Cedric wanting to set her up but her eyes immediately lit


    up when she heard the name. “Are you talking about the Eddy Wilde? The lead singer of the band The


    Heartthrobs?” she asked in astonishment.


    Cedric nodded. “Yes, that’s the name of the band he’s in! So you heard of him too?”


    Of course Corinne heard of him. She only ever worshiped two celebrities in her life, one being


    Ghostlord, who she admired for his hacking skills and the other being Eddy, whose songs had gotten


    her through the dark and lonely days of her teenage years.


    “Mister Cedric, can you really get me a meeting with Eddy?” Corinne asked excitedly.


    “Of course! Didn’t I already say I want to introduce him to you? What do you say?”


    However, before Corinne could say anything, they all heard a cold and deep coughing from next to


    her. Jeremy was clearing his throat and the cold aura he was emitting could be felt from every corner of


    the living room.


    It was only then Corinne remembered Jeremy was in the room as well. She nced at him and saw he


    was not looking too well. Jeremy was sipping on his tea and looking at her threateningly as if daring her


    to say yes to Cedric’s offer.


    ‘If I guess correctly, Mister is probably angry,’ thought Corinne with a pout. She then turned back to


    Cedric and said, “Thank you for the kind offer, Mister Cedric, but I already have a boyfriend.”


    Cedric looked at her in disbelief. “What? You already have a boyfriend? Tell me who it is this instant! I


    want to see if that guy is worthy of you!”Belongs ? to N?velDrama.Org.
