Chapter 1254


    Corinne’s pregnancy made it rather difficult for her to stabilize her center of gravity when she moved


    backward. Jason had to stretch out his arm to make sure she did not fall.


    At the same time, they got physically closer. Their eyes were within inches of each other.


    Corinne felt that it was inappropriate and immediately wanted to get up and walk away. However, Jason


    held her tightly and said, “You’re wrong, Corinne. You can’t lump all men into the same category just


    because you’ve met one jerk. I’m different from Jeremy. I’ll never…”


    As Jason spoke, he leaned so close to Corinne that she could feel his breath on her lips.


    …


    Annie got home and got dressed before asking the driver to drive her to Newmoon Group. When she


    arrived, she looked at the time and realized it was still too early for lunch. As she was about to go in


    and wait for Marcus, she stopped while she was going up the stairs.


    She knew she might run into Aaron in thepany lobby if she waited for Marcus inside, so she finally


    decided to wait in the cafe just opposite thepany.


    After ordering a cafette, Annie sent a message to Marcus telling him that she was waiting for him in


    the opposite cafe. She then told him not to worry about her.


    Her mind was nk, and she was staring out the window in a daze. However, a message soon


    disrupted her mood.


    The notification on her phone made her think that Marcus had replied to her message. s, all she


    saw was a message from Aaron.


    [Have you woken up yet? I’ll be heading back to send lunch to Corinne in a bit. Let me know what


    you’re craving, and I’ll get some for you!]


    His gentle message made her feel as though he was physically asking her that with a smile. It was


    Aaron’s gentle temperament that attracted her from the beginning and made her weak in the knees.


    Annie suddenly snapped back to her senses and shook her head vigorously. She reminded herself not


    to think about other men because she was waiting for her boyfriend.

    She replied, [Thanks, but you don’t have to buy lunch for me!]


    After a while, Aaron replied, [And leave you to go hungry? We wouldn’t want you to have any hunger


    pangs, would we?]


    Annie frowned unhappily. [Thank you for your concern, but I’m waiting for my boyfriend. I’m getting


    lunch with him. I won’t go hungry.]


    A minuteter, Aaron sent her a nd, smiling emoji. Annie did not understand what that expression


    meant and did not think much about it.


    All of a sudden, her boyfriend Marcus sent her a message to apologize to her. [I’m sorry you had to


    come all the way just for me to tell you this, but thepany notified us that we’ll be having an


    emergency meeting, and lunch will be provided during the meeting too! How about you go home first?


    I’lle to you after I get off work.]


    Marcus’s message reminded Annie of the smiling emoji Aaron sent her. ‘Emergency meeting? It can’t


    be a coincidence!’


    She replied to Marcus, [Don’t worry about it. We’ll set a time after work.]


    Annie then opened her chat with Aaron and sent, [You did that, didn’t you?]


    Aaron sent another smiling emoji. [Did what?]


    [Hold an emergency meeting and provide lunch to those who were asked to attend the meeting.]


    [Yes! I just felt like treating my dear employees to lunch! What do you think? I’m a good leader, aren’t


    I?]


    Annie sent an angry emoji and said, [You’ve crossed the line! Are you d that I came all the way here


    for nothing?]


    [It’s not for nothing.]


    [Who are you to tell me that my trip wasn’t for nothing? I’m already here! I hate you!] Annie typed


    furiously on the virtual keyboard when she heard someone pull out a chair and sit opposite her.
