Corinne recalled David’s housekeeper telling them he was with a friend when they arrived. Thus, she


    decided to believe Jason for the time being.


    “So you’re friends with Doctor David, huh?” said Corinne.


    Jason smiled cheekily. “Of course! I have lots of friends since I’m such a good guy.”


    Corinne’s lips twitched out of annoyance. “Sure, sure.”


    Jason dangled his car key in front of her. “Let’s go. I’ll give you two a ride home.”


    Corinne looked around at the taxi-less neighborhood, and then at the dazed Benjamin in her arms.


    After thinking about it, she decided to take Jason up on his offer.


    “Okay, thanks. I appreciate the help,” she said.


    Jason sighed. “Corinne, how many times do I need to tell you that you don’t have to be so formal with


    me? We’re friends.”


    Corinne nced sideways at him. “We might be friends, but we’re still members of the opposite sex.


    It’s best to keep a little distance between US so that other people won’t talk.”


    “Fine…” In truth, Jason wished others would mistake them for husband and wife.


    Corinne carried Benjamin out of the park. Together, she and Benjamin got into the backseat of the car


    while Jason got into the driver’s seat.

    Jason drove the car slowly out of the quiet neighborhood. It was not long until he started chatting again.


    “Corinne, I heard you recently bought the piece ofnd on Serenity Bay.”


    “Yeah. Who did you hear it from? Lucas?”


    Jason chuckled. “Nah, he’s not the type to tell me these kinds of things. I heard it from a friend of mine


    who works in the auction house. Like I said, I have lots of friends.”


    “Looks like the auction house doesn’t take their clients’ confidentiality that seriously at all from the way


    their employee reveals them so easily. I


    bought the piece ofnd under Holden Group’s name. What’s the matter? Did you have your eyes on


    that piece ofnd, too?”


    Jason smiled. “Yes. I want to ask you what you n to do with that piece ofnd.”


    Corinne looked out of the window at the passing scenery. ‘I haven’t really decided. Since that piece of


    land was bought using Holden Group’s name, I’ll need to use it ording to what would be most


    beneficial to thepany. I’m going to hold a board of directors meeting soon.”


    “I understand. The location is certainly perfect for developing andmarkmercial area. Can we


    work together if Holden Group decides to do just that?” asked Jason.


    Corinne turned to look at him. ’Talbot Group wants to work with Holden Group on this project?”


    “I do have that intention in mind,” said Jason honestly, “because Talbot Group also has a piece ofnd


    near Serenity Bay, but it isn’t as big as the one Holden Group has. Due to the size, it’s really hard to do


    anything about it. It’ll be a win-win if Holden Group can work together with Talbot Group to develop the


    two pieces ofnd together.”
