Chapter 502
“Corinne! It’s you!”
Jason’s handsome face startled her and she finally heaved a sigh of relief.
“Ah, kind sir!”
“What’s wrong?” Jason asked with a smile, “Who did you think I was?”
“Nobody. I was just startled when you placed your hand on me all of a sudden.”
Hehe! What am I afraid of, anyway? Was I expecting Jeremy to come back and look for me? I’m just overthinking things!”
Jason walked gracefully to her side with a smile on his face. “Do you remember when we last met? I asked you if we’d be able to
meet again, and you said it’s all up to fate. Since you and I ran into each other here today, does that mean fate has plans for you
and me?”
Corinne laughed heartily. “You’re right, it’s quite a coincidence!”
Jason frowned and pretended to be unhappy at her remark. “Don’t just brush me off like that! Aren’t you happy to see me?”
Corinne yawned. “Why would I be?”
Jason sighed, and leaned closer to her all of a sudden, “I’m very happy to see you though.”
Corinne remained calm when facing the charming face that appeared suddenly in front of her. “Oh, is that so?”
There was a sparkle in Jason’s enchanting eyes, and he gazed deeply at her eyes for about half a minute but found himself
unable to bewitch her with his charm.
He could only smile helplessly at her and say, “You were always dressed casually when I saw you all those times before, and this
is my first time seeing you dress up like this. You look
stunning.”
“Thanks.”
Corinne went downstairs and looked around. There was no longer an empty place in the banquet hall. Every sofa or table or
chair in the reception area was filled with people chatting in small groups. The last thing she wanted was to sit in those places
and bother the conversations or become the subject of those people’s conversations.
Jason still follow3r her with a smile as she walked down the stairs, and she wondered if he had nothing better to do.
Corinne turned around and asked, “Have you seen Lucas, kind sir?”
Jason cocked his eyebrow. “Why would you be looking for Lucas?”
“No particular reason. I came here with him today, since I’m now working as his secretary, and he’s my boss.”
Jason was rather surprised to hear that. “When did you start?”
“Just two days ago.”
“Oh? Is it for Nellie Nymphaea’s painting?” Jason looked at her drily.
It was Jason who revealed to her the relationship between Nellie Nymphaea and Lucas, so there was no need to-and no point
of-hiding her reasons for working under Lucas.
“Yes. I hope you’ll avoid talking about this matter in front of him.”
“My lips are sealed.” Jason smiled.
“Thanks, kind sir!”
“Just call me Jason, will you? It’s frustrating to hear you call me that all the time!”
Corinne thought over his request and decided to grant him his wish since the information he provided her had turned out to be
correct.
“Okay! Thank you, Jason.”
