Chapter 1217


    Aaron bolted upright from his seat. “What?! What happened?”


    Xante was about to tell him Corinne had gotten into Jeremy’s car when she noticed how red and


    swollen Aaron’s face was. “What happened to your face?”


    Aaron touched his burning cheek. “What else? I was pped by a girl,” he said self-deprecatingly.


    “Serves you right,” said Xante with disgust.


    Aaron shrugged. “Well, aren’t you going to tell me what happened?”


    “The boss ran into Jeremy downstairs, and he asked her to get into his car. I don’t know where they’re


    going now, and she’s not picking up my phone.”


    “Why would Jeremy be downstairs?” asked Aaron quizzically.


    “He must’vee to pick Annie up, and the boss just happened to be there. He told her to get in so


    they could end things properly.”


    Aaron’s cheek tingled with more pain at the mention of Annie’s name as she was the one who pped


    him. She gave it her all in that p, so much so that it caused the corner of Aaron’s mouth to bleed. Of


    course, he wiped away the blood before Xante came in.


    He did not understand why Annie pped him. All he did was ask whether she would want to try dating


    him!


    “Xante, I don’t think there’s any need to worry. Annie is in the car with them too, right? Jeremy will


    never do anything to the boss while Annie is there. Plus, she’s still pregnant with his kid.”Books

    Xante red at Aaron. “I know he won’t do anything to the boss at the time being, but do you think he’ll


    speak nicely to her? What if the boss gets so stressed that it induces an earlybor? Hurry, call Annie


    and find out where they’re going!”


    “What? Why me? She just pped me, so I don’t think she’s going to pick up my calls. I think it’s better


    if you call her yourself,” said Aaron reluctantly.


    “I haven’t even spoken two sentences with her while she worked here, so she’s never going to tell me


    the truth if I call her. Come on, I know you’re good at coaxing whatever you want out of other women,


    so use that skill of yours on something good for once!”


    Aaron sighed pitifully. “Fine. I’ll call her, but you need to step out. I’ll give you an updateter.”


    “Hurry up. Don’t waste time!” ordered Xante before she left the office to give him some space.


    Aaron picked up his phone and stared at the screen despondently. It was not that he could not put


    down his pride to call Annie, but she had blocked him in all the ways he could contact her. He could not


    contact her even if he wanted to.


    This was the first time a woman had the heart to block him wholly. He decided to leave Annie alone


    after getting pped, but for the sake of Corinne, he did not have a choice but to bother Annie again.


    After some careful deliberation, Aaron called the human resources department to ask for Marcus’


    contact details. ‘I might as well call Annie’s boyfriend since I can’t contact her.’


    Aaron dialed Marcus’ number, and the call took some time to go through.


    “Hello. May I know who’s calling?” asked Marcus politely.


    “Marcus. It’s me.”


    As a junior employee, Marcus did not have Aaron’s personal number stored in his phone, but he


    instantly recognized his voice.


    “Mister Aaron, why… Why are you calling me? Is there something I can help you with?” he asked
