Chapter 358

Jeremy narrowed his eyes at Anya before turning back to face Corinne with a questioning look, asking

her what he should do.

Corinne furrowed her brow. ‘Why is he looking at me like that again? What… Is he asking me to be the

bad guy here ‘cause he’s too embarrassed to turn down his ‘savior‘? Man, he’s really devious, huh? Oh

well, I’ll help him out this one time, seeing as how he’s been really nice to me for the past

few days.”

Corinne rested her chin on one hand and lazily turned to look at Anya. “Miss Anya, you know that your

brother’s subordinate can’t be late to work, yet you don’t seem to realize that this applies to your

Jeremy, too.”

The combination of the word ‘your‘ and ‘Jeremy‘ caused the man beside her to frown.

Anya felt wronged. The corners of her eyes turned down, making her look even more fragile and

innocent. “No, Corinne. I didn’t mean it like that… I just thought that it’ll be fine if Jeremy is late since

he’s the boss of the company, whereas Edmund is just an ordinary worker who has to clock. in at work

on time. Lucas has a strict system in place and will punish anyone who’s late to work.”

Corinne smirked. “Oh my, you’re certainly very considerate of others. No wonder the people around

you are so willing to go through fire and water for you. However, you’ve forgotten one thing. It was your

brother who sent Edmund here, so he’s technically on the clock, therefore he shouldn’t be punished if

he’s late to the office. Besides, I believe that Edmund wouldn’t have worked with your brother for so

many years if your brother was this harsh to his right–hand man.”

Here, Corinne took a yawn before adding, “But I’m fine if Jeremy is willing to give you a ride ‘cause it’s

true what you said–your house is along the way to his office after all.”

She smirked before turning around and raising her eyebrows mischievously at Jeremy. “Am I right,

Mister?”

Jeremy did not answer her. Instead, he coldly ordered, “Tommy, please send Miss Anya back to

her house.”

“Yes, Mister Jeremy.”

Anya’s gaze faltered when she heard that. “Jeremy, aren’t you going to the office today? Can’t you just

give me a ride? You don’t have to trouble Tommy…” she said in a manner that made it obvious to

anyone there that she was pretending to not want to trouble Tommy.

Jeremy remained indifferent to Anya. He gestured with his chin at Corinne. “The little rascal is getting

jealous, so I think it’s best if I don’t give you a ride.”

Corinne was speechless. ‘Hello, I’m jealous? Mister is way out of line. How can he use me like that

when he’s the one who doesn’t want to give a ride to Anya? That’s emotional blackmailing!‘

Anya was a little stunned. Her eyes were filled with hurt, and she was about to say something more

when Tommy beat her to it. He raised his hand slightly as a gesture of invitation and said, ” Miss Anya,

please follow me out. I’ll take you home right away.”

Anya had no choice but to smile awkwardly, even though the expression of unwillingness was written

all over her face. “Alright, then. Sorry for taking up your time, Jeremy. I’ll leave with Tommy now, she

said politely.

Jeremy nodded and did not spare another glance at her.

Anya mentally gritted her teeth before smiling at Corinne. “Bye, Corinne. I’ll come another day to visit

you.”

“Off you go, then said Corinne.

Anya was speechless. She marched away angrily with Edmund following behind her.
