Chapter 1045

“I told you I’m fine. Besides, why did you come alone? Where’s Xante?” asked Corinne.

Based on her understanding of her two childhood friends, they would never come alone in this kind of

situation.

Aaron smiled. “They went to get some food for you from your favorite tapas restaurant. There was a

long line since the restaurant was so busy. I don’t like lining up, so I came first.”

‘They? Who’s they?’

“Who’s Xante with?”

Annie poured some water for Aaron. “Here you go, Mister Aaron. Please have some water.”

“Thanks, Annie.” Aaron gracefully accepted the glass of water while answering, “Xante’s with my

girlfriend.”

‘Girlfriend’. The word was like a stab in the heart for Annie. She looked at Aaron in disbelief, thinking

she heard wrong.

However, Aaron did not look at her. Instead, he looked at Corinne with a smile. “They should be here

soon. Boss, my girlfriend is very nervous about meeting you, so please be kind to her, yeah? And

please don’t tell her any embarrassing stories about me.”

Corinne had lost count of how many of Aaron’s girlfriends she met with over the years, so she was not

that interested to meet with this new one. She was, however, interested in Annie’s reaction.

She knew Annie had fallen head over heels for Aaron, and nothing Corinne said could ever convince

her not to like him. Thus, she was sure Annie must be very hurt to find out about Aaron’s new girlfriend.

As expected, Annie’s eyes started to turn red. She seemed a little bit at a loss for what to do, too.

“Hey, Annie. What’s wrong? Did you get the pins and needles?” asked Francine, who was not exactly

known for her ability to read the room, when she saw Annie fidgeting.

Annie looked down in embarrassment. “E—Excuse me. I need to go to the restroom,” she said shakily

before she ran out of the room.

Seeing this, Corinne became worried. “Francine, go with Annie to make sure she’s okay. She doesn’t

look too good.”

Francine pouted. “Corinne, are you trying to get me to leave so you can be alone with this man?”

Corinne frowned in annoyance. “Cut it out. Go check on Annie now. Your brother will kill you if anything

happens to her.”

Bringing up Jeremy seemed to have done the trick as Francine immediately did what she was told,

even though she did not care about Annie at all.

After Francine went out, Corinne narrowed her eyes at Aaron. “You’re doing this on purpose, aren’t

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

Aaron shrugged innocently. “I’m not! My girlfriend is coming later; you’ll see for yourself. And you have

my guarantee that she’s prettier than all the previous ones!”

Corinne frowned. “I’m not interested in any of your girlfriends, Aaron. They never last more than a week

with you anyway! I’m asking you why you have to bring her when you know Annie is here!”

Aaron put up one hand. “I swear to god I have no idea Annie’ll be here. If I had known, I would’ve come

at a different time. But, it might be just as well since there’s a chance Annie might give up on me once

she has met with my beautiful girlfriend. Isn’t that what you want?”

Corinne just could not win with Aaron. “I did say you have to make her hate you in a way that doesn’t

hurt her feelings. And you’ve obviously failed at that.”
