Chapter 1057


    “Let me walk you out, Jason,” said Sunny as he followed Jason out. He seemed like he had something


    to discuss with him.


    After they left, Xante turned to Corinne. “You don’t like him, do you, Boss?” she asked softly.


    Corinne slowly opened her eyes. “Yeah, no. He’s very annoying.”


    A faint light shed across Xante’s gold-rimmed sses. “But it seems like he has a crush on you.”


    Corinne was not surprised. She sat up and said listlessly, “He’s up to no good, that’s what he is.”

    Xante raised her eyebrow. “Not everyone who likes you is up to no good, you know?”


    Corinne scoffed lightly. “No one in their right mind would confess their feelings to a married woman, let


    alone the wife of his good friend. Do you know he and Jeremy go way back? Tell me, then—what good


    can he be up to by liking me?”


    Xante actually nodded. After all, men were the same everywhere. Every one of them would have some


    sort of unspeakable fetish.


    At that moment, Annie walked in with her head hung low. She sat on the sofa listlessly without saying a


    word.


    Corinne immediately noticed something was wrong. “What’s wrong?” she asked with a frown.


    Annie shook her head, and despite her best effort to steady her voice, she said tearfully, “It’s nothing.


    Are you hungry? Should I go get something for you to eat?”


    Corinne could tell Annie was crying before, causing her frown to be even deeper. “What


    happened? Did Aaron do or say something to you?”


    Annie’s shoulders tensed at the mention of Aaron’s name. She then quickly shook her head. “No,


    Mister Aaron didn’t do or say anything to me. He already left with his girlfriend to go to the hotel.”


    Corinne did not know what to say to that.


    Xante looked at Annie, and then at Corinne. They both knew things were not as simple as that. After


    all, Annie did not look like nothing happened to her.

    Suddenly, Francine barged in and said angrily, “Stop lying, Annie! Where did the amazing Annie go?


    How can you let a man treat you like that? It’s because of girls like you that guys think they can treat us


    like sh*t! Ugh, you’re driving me up the wall!”


    Francine dropped by Pam’s ward before going to get the hot water, and she just so happened to


    bump into Annie, who was crying while on the phone with someone. She walked a little closer to


    eavesdrop on the conversation.


    Her hearing was quite good, and the corridor was very quiet since no one was around. Even if the


    speakerphone was not turned on, she could still hear the hurtful words Aaron was spewing from the


    other end of the phone.


    Corinne could tell at a nce that Francine knew what had happened, so she ordered her, “Tell me


    what happened.”


    Francine was beyond mad at that point. “Mister Aaron called Annie to ask her to…to… Gah! I’m too


    embarrassed to say it! How is there such a shameless man in this world?!”


    Corinne’s brow furrowed. “What did he ask her to do? Tell me, now!”


    Blushing, Francine replied, “He asked Annie to buy and deliver to him a certain brand’s condom ’cause


    he didn’t like the ones the hotel provided.”


    Corinne’s eyes darkened. “Is that so? What brand did he want? I’ll buy and deliver it to him,” said


    Corinne through gritted teeth.


    After that, she got down from the bed with the intention to deal with the b*stard.


    Seeing this, Xante quickly said, “Calm down, Boss. I’ll deal with himter.”


    “That punk is getting more out of hand! Seems like I’ve been too lenient to him over the years!”
