-A certain loving young couple?’ thought Corinne. She nced at Xante and Sunny, and she saw


    Sunny holding Xante’s hand in his hoodie’s pocket as if it were the most natural thing in the world.


    Judging by the smile on his lips, it was obvious Sunny was happy to hear Jason call them a loving


    young couple. Xante, however, was not very happy, but she did not bother to exin anything.


    Corinne decided to ignore them. However, she could not help but think of Jeremy. He used to do the


    same thing to her in the past. He would not give up


    until her hand was locked in his. That was how overbearing he could be sometimes.


    At that moment, the waiter came over, served a few cold appetizers, and left them to their meal.


    On a whim, Corinne took a few photos of the dishes, then sent them through a special channel to


    Jeremy, asking him, [Do you want to eat?] After waiting for a long time and not getting a reply,


    Corinne’s eyes darkened.


    However, she then told herself that it must be inconvenient for him to reply to her, so she stopped


    worrying and put the phone away.


    Corinne’s action did not escape Jason’s notice. He raised an eyebrow and asked tentatively, “Who


    were you texting?”


    Corinne looked at Jason. “A friend. Jason, might I suggest you stop worrying about me and just eat


    your food?”


    Jason sighed helplessly and started eating.


    He thought that he would be able to have a good chat with Corinne over dinner, but his hope was


    dashed when so many people acted as the third wheel around the table.


    Sunny secretly toyed with Xante’s hand in his pocket, but shepletely ignored him. She did not


    even look at him, causing him to feel very unhappy.


    However, he did not n to bully Xante in front of Corinne since there would be plenty of time forthat


    later.


    “Corinne, how did you end up with Jason today? What were you guys doing? “


    asked Sunny. He decided to strike up a conversation with Corinne since Xante was giving him the cold


    shoulder.


    Jason smiled coyly and said, “Well, we were-“


    Corinne was afraid that he would say something that might be misunderstood, so she rushed to


    answer, “We met up to talk about business, and also to check out that piece ofnd in Serenity Bay.”


    Jason was speechless. ‘She really has no intention to let me say anything, does she?’ Sunny narrowed


    his eyes and asked skeptically, “You two talked about business? Since when did Holden Group and


    Talbot Group have a project together?”


    Corinne nced at him lightly. “There are a lot of things you don’t know. Just because we haven’t


    worked together before, doesn’t mean we won’t work together in the future. Don’t you know profit is the


    only thing that matters when ites to who you work with?”


    Sunny half-believed her. “Oh. For a moment there, I thought you guys were just like me and Xante. We


    skipped work to go on a date.”


    Xante could not take his nonsense anymore, so she squeezed his hand to tell him to shut up.


    “Oh please, do you think I’m blinded by love like you are? That I have nothing better to do than to go on


    a date?” said Corinne indifferently.


    Sunny felt Xante squeezing his hand and immediately understood she was telling him to shut up, but


    that just made him keep talking.

    “What’s wrong with being blinded by love? I think everyone should be blinded by love when they’re with


    the person they love! Everyone should put their whole heart and soul into the rtionship, and they


    shouldn’t care about ‘who did what for who’ more. It’s not love if you’re scared of getting hurt. In fact,


    love shouldn’t be transactional! It’s either all or nothing for me!”
