Chapter 1140


    Aaron simply ignored Annie’sment and said, “Tsk! He should be working instead of texting you! I


    need to talk to his supervisor about his work ethic.”


    Fearing Marcus would get into trouble, Annie quickly said, “He called me during lunch break, so there’s


    nothing wrong with his work ethic!”


    “Didn’t he text you before lunch break as well?” asked Aaron sternly.


    “Umm… He needed to ask me something about work. It was only for a few minutes!”


    Aaron narrowed his eyes suspiciously. “You sure are protective of him. Does that mean you’ll go on a


    movie date with him?”


    Annie looked unsure. “I’m still thinking about it,” she said tly. “I’m not interested in horror movies.


    Plus, what if I screamed too loud in front of him? That’ll be so embarrassing.”


    Aaron smirked. “Why don’t you go with me, then? I’m looking forward to seeing you scream.”


    Annie was stunned. She thought she heard wrong. “Mister Aaron, are you asking me to watch a movie


    with you?”


    Aaron nodded confidently. “Yeah. You can hug me if you’re scared. I don’t mind being taken advantage


    of by you.”Books Chapters Are Daily Updated Join & Stay Updated For All Books Updates…


    Annie’s lips twitched. “Your joke isn’t funny at all.”


    She hated how he would flirt with every chance he got; it was making it very hard for her to get over


    him. ‘Ugh! Why does he have to be so hot? No, Annie! This won’t do. You can’t continue being like


    this.’


    She quickly took Joey away from Aaron. “Thank you, Mister Aaron, for helping me with Joey. But I’m


    hungry now, so we’re going to head in to see whether lunch is ready.”


    After that, she started making her way back to the mansion.


    Aaron trotted after her and asked persistently, “So do you want to watch a movie with me?”


    “No! I do not!” Annie’s heartbeat sped up as did her pace. She could not stand being yed around by


    Aaron anymore.


    Lunch was already ready by the time Annie got back to the mansion.


    “You came just at the right time, Annie. I was about to ask the servant to call you in. Here, take a seat. I


    hope you’ll find the food to your liking,” said Pam kindly.


    “I’m sure it will,” said Annie politely before sitting next to Corinne with Joey still in her arms.


    The moment Joey saw Corinne, he reached out his chubby hands to get her to carry him.


    Corinne smoothly took him off Annie’s hands. Even though the two of them were not rted by blood,


    she knew how much he needed her, so she gave in to his request.

    Annie, Aaron, and Xante were not the only guests there as the servants had asked Francine and


    Chester to join the others for lunch too. Thus, it was quite lively, to say the least. Greg did not care for


    the noise, so he asked the servants to bring his lunch to his room.


    Pam sat at the head of the table, and throughout the whole lunch, she would politely encourage


    everyone to eat more while piling food on Corinne’s te.


    Even so, Corinne did not eat much since she fed most of the food to Joey. Seeing this, Pam offered


    to take care of Joey so that Corinne could eat in peace, but Joey would not let anyone else feed him.


    Thus, Pam had no choice but to give up and let Corinne feed him.
