Chapter 1578

-A certain loving young couple?’ thought Corinne. She glanced 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 explain 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 she completely ignored him. She did not

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

However, he did not plan 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 of land 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 glanced 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 it comes 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 relationship, 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!”
