Chapter 1130


    “We want to see how Corinne and the baby are doing and to pass her some supplements too,” replied


    Aaron.


    “If that’s the case, you don’t need me to bring you, right? I mean, I’m sure the Holdens would wee


    you if that’s all you wanted to do,” said Annie, confused.


    Aaron raised his eyebrow. “It’s better if we bring you. What if they wouldn’t let us in? It’ll mean we went


    there for nothing.”


    Annie thought the whole thing was rather weird, but what Aaron said made some sense as well. Thus,


    she nodded and said, “Okay. Shall we leave after work?”


    “No. We can leave right now if it’s okay with you.”


    “Right now?” Annie blinked and checked the time on her phone. “Well, I am kind of free… Oh, alright.


    Let’s go then.”


    Annie picked up her bag and shoved her phone inside. She then put on her coat and followed Aaron


    and Xante to the elevator.

    On the way, Aaron saw from the corner of his eyes the same brand of coffee Annie was drinking


    moments before sitting on top of a male colleague’s desk. He even saw Annie and the male colleague


    exchanging smiles. Not to mention, the male colleague was exactly the one who flirted with her before.


    Once the driver drove the car around, Annie got in the front passenger seat while Xante and Aaron sat


    in the back seat.


    Annie looked out of the window and she suddenly thought of something. She took her phone out from


    her bag and texted Corinne, [Hey, I’m on the way to see you with Mister Aaron and Miss Xante. Is there


    anything you want me to get for you?]


    She waited for a few minutes for Corinne to reply, but when she did not, she exited out of the app.


    However, a few secondster, she received a text from Marcus Bing, her colleague.Books Chapters

    [Why did you go out with Mister Aaron and Miss Xante?]


    [They asked me to help them with some personal matters.]


    [Personal matters? I didn’t know you’re that close with them.]


    [Not really. We just happen to have mutual friends.]


    [I see. Doesn’t this mean you won’t have time for lunch? Is there anything to eat at the ce you’re


    going?]


    Annie was pleasantly surprised. It had been so long since someone cared about her. Touched, she was


    about to reply when Aaron said, “Miss Annie, you can text all you want, but you better not let anyone


    know where we’re going.”


    Annie’s fingers froze. She instinctively hid her phone from view before turning back to check whether


    Aaron was snooping in on her texts. She secretly sighed with relief when she saw he was settled


    comfortably in his seat.


    “Don’t worry, Mister Aaron. I only texted Corinne to ask her if I can get her anything,” said Annie.


    Aaron smiled. “That’s fine, then.”


    Annie felt like Aaron seemed more threatening than usual, but she could not quite put her finger on why


    she felt like that.


    She quickly shot off another text to Marcus. [Don’t worry. I’ll make sure to have my lunch. Catch you


    later.]


    [Stay safe. Call me if you need anything.]


    [Sure!]


    After that, Annie checked one more time for Corinne’s reply, but there was none. Thus, she put her


    phone back into her bag.


    Aaron narrowed his eyes when he saw Annie acting suspiciously when she was replying to the


    messages. He then smiled mockingly and asked, “Someone has a little crush on Marcus, I see?”


    ‘So he was snooping after all! How else would he know who I was texting?’ thought Annie in shock.
