Chapter 406

“Thank you.”

Corinne had always been quite casual about it, so she did not mind sharing the towel. After accepting

the towel, she wiped away the water on her face before drying her hair.

Jason smiled at her. He was the perfect gentleman, albeit the previous instances where he would

constantly tease her with ill humor. He knew not to cross the line.

“Corinne, you can rest here for a while. I’ll ask my secretary, Angie, to bring some clothes to you later.”

“Okay. Thanks again, Kind Sir!”

Corinne did not have any intention to keep him in there. She was a married woman after all, so it would

not be good if she was seen with another man in a room. She had to keep her distance at all costs.

Jason smiled helplessly when he heard Corinne referring to him as ‘Kind Sir’.

“Corinne, if you really want to thank me, you should call me by my name instead of giving me a

nickname.”

Corinne raised an eyebrow nonchalantly. “Why? You don’t like being called a kind sir? I, for one, think

it’s the perfect nickname to show your willingness to help others.”

“Forget it… It just feels like you’re being sarcastic,” said Jason with a smile.

“No! I truly am grateful to you. Thank you for lending a

helping hand to me today even though you’re only doing this because of Jeremy, otherwise I wouldn’t

be able to find a clean set of clothes to change into,” said Corinne seriously, meaning every word she

said.

The smile on Jason’s face froze for a moment and his forehead began to crease up. “Corinne, I didn’t

help you because of Jeremy. I helped you because it’s you I want to help. Even without Jeremy, we’re

still friends, right?”

Corinne looked at Jason’s handsome and enchanting face, thought for a while, then nodded. “Okay,

I’ve decided we’re friends from today onward! Now… Kind-I mean, Jason, you can leave the room now.

I need to dry myself up, and even

though we’re friends now, it doesn’t mean I can show you my bare self.”

She then pushed Jason out of the guest room. In fact, it would be more accurate to say Jason was

chased out of the room. It was quite funny to see a tall and strong man being pushed by a petite

woman to the point of tripping over.

The guest room door closed with a bang. Jason stared at it for a long while with a smile on his face.

‘Why that little… She still treats me the same as ever!’

He recalled how she hesitated a little when he asked her whether they were friends. Even though she

nodded in the end, agreeing to be his friend, she did not look that willing.

‘She must think I’m annoying. That’s why she’s so reluctant to be friends with me. Corinne Carew, the

more I get to know you, the more interesting you get. I guess some things never change, even if your

name has,’ thought Jason.

Jason turned around gracefully and saw his smartly dressed secretary walking up the stairs. When she

saw him, she

quickened her pace.

“Mister Jason, here are the clothes you’ve asked for. May I ask why you need women’s clothing?”

Jason smiled. “Oh, it’s not for me. A friend of mine accidentally fell into the pond, got drenched, and

needed a change of clothing. Angie, take the clothes you bought into her room. You can submit a claim

to the accounts department later.”

Angie shook her head and her hands. “Mister Jason, you’re being too formal with me. These clothes

aren’t expensive. I don’t mind giving them to your friend as a gift so I’m not going to submit a claim.”

Jason did not insist since the perks he gave her every day already exceeded the value of the clothes.

At that moment, a large hand came from above and took away the clothes in Angie’s hand. “Well, don’t

mind if I do.”
