Chapter 153
Aaron was a handsome man, while Corinne was a beautiful woman, and they made for a rather attractive pair.
A look of gloom and envy flashed across Sherlyn’s eyes when she saw Corinne walking side-by- side with Aaron, Newmoon Group’s vice president. She was forced to be friendly to Corinne in front of three big shots, but she still asked in a rather insinuative tone, “Where did you run off to, Corinne?”
Corinne came over and replied earnestly, “I went to look for the restroom but couldn’t find it. I bumped into Mister Aaron here and asked him to lead me there.”
Sherlyn glared gloomily at Corinne, then turned to Aaron before saying politely, “Mister Aaron, I’m really sorry that my assistant caused you trouble.”
Aaron curled his lips into a smile. “It was no trouble at all. I just happened to be on my way to the restroom too, so I might as well help her out.”
Sherlyn smiled dryly, and she was quite displeased that Corinne was able to run into Aaron all by herself.
Corinne asked obediently again, “You’re back already, Sherlyn? Did you already get an idea of the new product?”
Sherlyn could not be bothered to answer Corinne’s question and thought to herself, ‘Why is a puny assistant asking so many questions ?! She then turned and looked at Xante with a smile. “Miss Xante, I’ve already understood the product. May I ask when we’ll be able to sign the contract?”
Xante’s expression had returned to normal, and she said in a professional tone, “This cooperation must be finalized with the agency. A celebrity cannot sign a contract by themselves.”
Sherlyn smiled. “Not a problem! My manager will come over later in the afternoon to discuss the details with you!”
Xante nodded. “Sure. You may ask for Mister Luke when you bring your manager over in the afternoon.”
“Sure thing, thank you!” Sherlyn was glad to have secured the same. time, she made a point to ask, “Oh, about my new movie…”
Xante’s lips twitched. I’ll consider investing in the new movie if the response to your
ambassadorial advertisement is positive.”
“Thank you, Miss Xante, I promise I won’t let you down!” Sherlyn exuded confidence as she made that vow. “I’ll leave you to your affairs right now and return with my manager later in the afternoon.
Xante responded with a soft grunt and did not show too much politeness to her.
Sherlyn turned around and glanced at Corinne in disgust. “Let’s go!”
Corinne said, “Wait! I need to get my phone. I left it there!”
“Go get it then.” Sherlyn’s patient-sounding words masked her impatience. Had there not been. anyone else around, she would have scolded Corinne for being a lazy donkey who did naught at her job.
Corinne walked right past Jeremy without even bothering to look at him. She went around him, pushed open the door of the president’s office, and strutted right in.
She walked to the sofa inside the office’s lounge, grabbed her cell phone, and put it in her pocket.All text © NôvelD(r)a'ma.Org.
On the sofa at one side, ‘Moon’ wore a gas mask and sat there with a laptop while typing busily, as if recording something down.
Outside the door, Jeremy’s tall body stood there and he glanced coldly into the office. When he saw ‘Moon’ and Corinne appearing in the same place at the same time, his eyebrows furrowed, and the gloominess in his eyes dissipated gradually.
Xante turned to look at Jeremy and said with a smile, “It appears that Moon hasn’t taken her rest yet. I won’t stop you if you wish to speak to her, Mister Jeremy.”
Jeremy glanced back coldly and said, “That won’t be necessary anymore.”
Following his comment, he immediately turned around and brought Tommy away.
Upon seeing that Jeremy had left, Sherlyn bid goodbye to Xante and Aaron respectfully, then urged Corinne to walk faster just so they could catch up with Jeremy and take the same elevator with him.
As soon as the elevator closed after Corinne and Sherlyn went in, Xante frowned worriedly and asked Aaron, “What happened? How did Corinne manage to escape?”
