Chapter 1046

Aaron put his hand to his forehead and sighed helplessly.

“But what you’re asking me to do is kinda impossible. I’m quite the good catch, if you haven’t noticed.

Annie won’t give up unless I hurt her feelings a bit.”

Corinne rolled her eyes. “That’s why I warned you to stay away from girls like her! They’re the type to

fall hard and fast! Once they do, they won’t give up no matter what. What you’re doing is akin to

committing a grave sin.”

Aaron raised a corner of his lips. “Fine, I’ll admit I shouldn’t have done that. And I promise I’ll never do

it again.”

Corinne simply scoffed and said nothing more.

Aaron looked around the room and asked curiously, “Boss, where’s Mister Jeremy? Why isn’t he here

with you?”

Corinne looked out of the window at the blue sky. “He went on an overseas business trip.”

“He did what?! How can he still have the mind to work when you’re lying here in the hospital? Does he

even care about you?”

Corinne simply frowned and said nothing.

Meanwhile, in the restroom.

Annie splashed some cold water on her face. She then raised her head to look at her dripping-wet

sorry reflection in the mirror.

Her previous relationship ended in total failure, having nearly married a dirtbag. She could not believe

she would fall for another womanizer again.

‘Is it me? Am I a magnet for dirtbags? Oh, stupid, stupid Annie! Why can’t I just be chill in love?’ she

mentally berated herself.

Suddenly, Francine, with her arms crossed, appeared in the mirror. She lifted her chin and said

arrogantly, “I guess you’re not as great as you think you are. If not, you wouldn’t have fallen for such a

silly playboy.”

This pulled Annie out of her thoughts. She rolled her eyes at Francine. “And I’m guessing you think you

are? Well, how come I never see you with any high-value guy?”

Francine scoffed. “I’ll have you know the guy I’m chasing right now is a very high-value guy. In fact, I

don’t mind bringing him to meet you once we’re an item.”

Annie chuckled coldly. “As if a high-value guy will ever fall for a shallow girl like you.”

“Why you…” Francine put her hands on her hips angrily. Even though she knew she was unworthy of a

match to Chester, it still did not feel good to hear it coming from Annie.

“Really, Annie. You won’t even know what kindness looks like even if it bites you right in the face. I’m

just trying to warn you that guy seems like trouble, so how can you be so mean to me in return?”

Annie wiped her face dry with a napkin. “I might not be experienced in relationships, but I don’t need a

little girl like you to tell me what to do.”

She then threw the napkin into the trash can and walked past Francine.

Not one to back down so easily, Francine turned around and chased after her. “Who are you calling a

little girl? How rude of you! Have you forgotten I’m your aunt?!”

Annie simply ignored her and quickened her pace.

Francine, too, quickened her pace. “By the way, who’s that guy? Why does he call Corinne ‘boss’?”
