Chapter 444

After staring at each other for ten seconds, Corinne thought that she should eat the duck meat on her

fork. After that, she wiped her mouth and said, “Mister Talbot, thank you for giving me information about

Nellie Nymphaea but I have yet to verify the veracity of it. Therefore, I would need to look into it more

as for the other matter. Well, let’s talk about it again sometime in the future.”

‘She’s willing to talk about it?’ This was better than Jason expected. At least there was still some hope

for him.

“Corinne, I’m not going to force you but I hope that I’ll be the first person that comes into your mind

whenever you need someone to help you.”

Corinne smiled. “I see that you’re as kind as ever, Kind Sir. I’ll be sure to keep that in mind.”

The reason she told Jason she would be willing to talk about the matter of their “relationship” sometime

in the future was that she knew that he would not stop talking her ears off if she rejected him directly

now. She wanted to be spared from all that talking.

Jason looked at her hopefully. “Then do you mind if we exchange phone numbers with each other?”

After giving it some thought, Corinne took out her phone and passed it to him. Jason was a little taken

aback but he immediately understood what she wanted him to do. After taking her phone, he saved his

number on it and then proceeded to call himself with the same phone. Then, he took out his ringing

phone and saved the number shown on the screen. Finally, he

gave

back the phone to Corinne.

“Thanks, Corinne. You can’t imagine how happy I am,” he said with a smile.

Corinne smiled too. “Well, you should eat more to celebrate. The food won’t be as nice once

it’s cold.”

“I’ll be even happier if you can call me Jason.”

“You got it, Kind Sir.”

Jason chuckled. He knew it would not be that easy for him to change her mind. He then dug in on the

food on his plate and the two of them changed the topic to something a little less

serious.

When they came out of the restaurant, the row of TVs displayed in the electronics store were playing

breaking news that was set in a loop.

[The heir to an international conglomerate and the second daughter of a business tycoon is set to

marry each other. This would be the business alliance of the century.]

Corinne quietly watched the same news being broadcasted on the row of TVs at the same time. The

picture shown in the news was a silhouette of a man and a woman. Even though there were no

defining characteristics, nor did they mention the name of the couple getting engaged, anyone who

knew them would be able to tell who they were at a glance.

was shocked by the news as well. “I guess they

Corinne smiled mockingly and averted her eyes from the news. “Let’s call it a day. I’ll be making a

move first. Goodbye, Kind Sir.”

Jason stopped her. “Corinne, wait. When can I see you again?”

“How about we leave that up to fate?” Corinne waved goodbye to him and walked away from him at a

leisurely pace, leaving Jason to stand where he was alone.

This time, he did not chase after her. He remained standing where he was as he watched her leave

with a meaningful smile on his lips.

Corinne went back to her place in Thalassa.

Aaron was lying on the sofa and playing a game on his phone. He threw his phone to the side when he

saw her coming back.

“Boss, you’re back! How did it go? Did you get to see Michel?”

Corinne was exhausted. She collapsed on the sofa and answered, “No.”

“Then why did it take you so long to come back?” Aaron asked curiously.
