Chapter 1112

“It’s nothing, really. We just miss her, that’s all. But I must say, I’m impressed by your time management

skill, Mister Jeremy. After all, you managed to keep both sides of your affairs happy,” said Aaron with a

sarcastic smile. It was obvious he was mocking Jeremy.

“Oh, I’m nothing compared to you,” said Jeremy calmly. He then picked up a glass of juice and passed

it to Corinne.

Normally, he would never talk to someone like Aaron, but since Aaron was Corinne’s friend, he thought

he should at least attempt to be civil.

Aaron scoffed and was about to say something else when Xante nudged him with her thigh as a

warning.

Initially, Corinne was not really in favor of letting Jeremy come with her, but she had no choice but to

allow him to tag along after he expressed just how unhappy he was about her meeting Aaron.

However, she instantly regretted not standing her ground after she saw how awkward Aaron and

Xante’s interaction was with Jeremy. Not to mention, it kind of defeated the purpose of meeting up with

them since, more than likely, Aaron and Xante would not feel comfortable enough to tell her what

happened.

Therefore, it was a blessing Jeremy suddenly received a call from Zeke at that moment.

“Jeremy, are you at Twilight?” asked Zeke.

Jeremy raised his eyebrow. “Yeah. How did you know?”

“We wouldn’t even know you’re back if Jason didn’t tell us,” replied Zeke grumpily. “Why didn’t you call

us?”

“Where are you guys now?”

“We’re at Twilight, too! We saw your car parked in the underground parking lot, so we called you to ask

if you want to have a few drinks with us.”

“Which room?”

“A08!”

“Okay, I’ll be right there.”

After Jeremy hung up the phone, he looked at Aaron and Xante contemplatively before saying gently to

Corinne, “I’m going to hang out with Zeke and the others for a while. I’ll swing by later to get you,

okay?”Books Chapters Are Daily Updated Join & Stay Updated For All Books Updates…

He was willing to let Corinne hang out with Aaron as long as someone else was in the room with them.

After all, he knew his presence would only make it awkward for them to talk about what they wanted.

Happy to get rid of him, Corinne nodded rapidly. “Okay. Have fun.”

Jeremy stood up and left the room. Before he did, he warned Aaron, “Don’t make her drink any alcohol,

okay?”

“We don’t need you to tell us that, Mister Jeremy. We’re not stupid enough to let a pregnant woman

drink! We’re even more worried about her than you are,” said Aaron with a scoff. He muttered

something else under his breath, but Jeremy decided to let the matter slide as he was a good friend of

Corinne’s.

Jason immediately dropped his nonchalant attitude and sat up straighter as soon as Jeremy left the

room.

“Boss, are you sure you want to spend the rest of your life with that old geezer?” he asked seriously.

Corinne sipped her juice absent-mindedly. “At least he’s not as much of a jerk as you.”

She found it weird Aaron would suddenly pick on Jeremy like that since he did not really show any

objection to them being together in the past. In fact, he had always behaved politely whenever he was

with Jeremy.

Aaron shrugged. “Yes, I admit I’m a dirtbag, but I never pretended to be anything else other than that.

Boss, you do know the girls who I’ve hooked up with never expected me to settle down with them,

right? It’s like an unspoken agreement between me and them that I’m just in it for the good times. I

can’t sit by and watch you getting played by Jeremy!”
