    Aaron shrugged his shoulders. “I’m just curious to know how you took him down.”

    Corinne was speechless.


    Xante came over with a cup of coffee and kicked Aaron. “Buzz off! Can’t you see that she’s going over


    some work–rted documents? Why are you bringing up such pointless things?”


    Aaron patted the side of his trousers that had been kicked, seemingly disgusted by the dirt on the soles


    of Xante’s high heels.


    Xante ced the coffee cup on the desk and pushed it to Corinne’s hand. “Did you really reconcile with


    Mister Jeremyst night?”


    Corinne kept quiet.


    Aaron rolled his eyes. “Tch! You’ve got some nerve to ask that question after you kicked me for doing


    the same thing! Aren’t you just as curious as I am?”


    Corinne did not entertain their gossip and turned to thest page of the financial statement in her hand.


    “Not bad! The financial report for the second half of the year has improved a lotpared to the first


    half of the year. You’ve both worked very hard. We still need to expand on the real estate development


    projects in the south, since we’re still far behind some of the more experienced real estate groups.”


    Xante has always been very focused and dedicated when it came to work. She nodded after hearing


    that and said, “Understood!”


    Corinne closed the folder and took a sip of coffee.


    Xante suddenly remembered something and reported to her, “By the way, boss, the Holden. Group’s


    previous designmission for their new office building has beenpleted. They’re very satisfied


    with the final version of the design you provided, and we’ll be in charge of the tower’s construction


    project, too.”


    Corinne sipped her coffee pensively. After a moment, she said, “I’ll handle the construction. project and


    keep tabs on it.”


    Xante was a little surprised and adjusted the gold–rimmed spectacles on her face. “Are you sure you


    want to scrutinize the construction project in person? You’ll be exposed to the elements at the


    construction site, not to mention the possible dangers of falling objects. You’re pregnant now, so-‘


    Corinne narrowed her eyes sternly. “I know what I’m doing. Nothing’s going to happen.”


    Xante wanted to persuade her not to overexert herself while pregnant, but Aaron nudged her arm


    before she could say anything.


    “Can’t you see, Xante? Holden Group used to be just a client, but Jeremy is her man now. She’ll only


    feel at ease if she supervises the project in person!”


    Corinne was speechless. Aaron’s words were very obnoxious at times.


    Xante finally understood what was happening, but she still expressed her concern. “I can send our


    people to keep a close watch on the progress so you don’t need to put yourself at any risk.”


    Corinne remained steadfast in her decision and waved her hand slightly. “There’s no need for that. I’ll


    supervise it myself.”


    She had done the same for the Crescent Tower.


    Although she could easily entrust the project to one of the subsidiary constructionpanies, such a


    large project required so much of material and manpower that it would be inevitable for the other


    company to cut corners.


    Should everything go well, Holden Group’s new office building would be the ce where Jeremy would


    work for the next few decades. During that period, no one could guarantee that New Capital City would


    be free of any natural or man–made disasters.


    She wanted his long–term workce to be safe without any hidden dangers. She would thus feel more


    reassured if she personally saw the project through topletion.


    Aaron suddenly leaned over, put his arms on the desk, and looked up at her while pretending to be


    jealous. “Seeing you doting on Mister Jeremy so much makes me jealous, boss!”


    Corinne came back to her senses, raised the folder in her hand, and patted Aaron’s head. ” Can’t you


    be a little less shameless? You’re bing more unruly recently! You’re not young anymore, so you


    should learn to grow up! And touch some grass if you have time to spare!”


    Xante sneered and said gloatingly, “Yeah!”


    Aaron rubbed his forehead. “Bold of you to chastise me, Xante. You and I are the same, and you’re not


    that good a person either!
