Chapter 503
Jason was dazed for a moment when she called him that. Then, he smiled with satisfaction and said, “You’re
welcome, Corinne. I just rushed over here from work, and Zeke called to tell me that they were drinking at Grace
Garden. Lucas was probably invited too. Would you like to come with me and look for him?”
Lucas had very likely gone to meet Zeke and the others, and Corinne was confident that Jeremy would not be
around because she had earlier confirmed that Jeremy had left.
Having considered all that, Corinne nodded and said, “Sure. I’ll go with you.”
Lunar Century Manor’s Grace Garden was a small garden separate from the manor. It was a very quiet place since
it was far from the banquet hall.
Corinne walked into Grace Garden with Jason, and as soon as she entered the room, she saw three men sitting
around playing some cards.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtJason asked with a smile, “What are you boys playing?”
“Jason! You came just in time! Care to go for a round?”
Zeke cocked his eyebrow after dealing his card and was stunned for a moment when he saw Corinne standing right
beside Jason. He narrowed his eyes incredulously and joked, “Your companion looks a little familiar!”
Jason smiled and explained truthfully, “Don’t get me wrong, my companion was Angie-my secretary. Corinne came
here as Jason’s companion. I ran into her earlier when she was
looking for Lucas, so I brought her here with me.”
Zeke became even more confused as he turned his head to look at Lucas. “Why is she looking for you?”
“She’s my secretary now,” Lucas answered calmly.
‘She ran away from the Holdens, and now she’s hired as Lucas’s secretary? Tsk, tsk, tsk! Things are getting more
and more interesting!’
Zeke stared at Corinne, whom he had not seen in a long time, and turned his head before raising his chin towards
the floor-to-ceiling window. He then said, “Hey, Jeremy! An old friend of yours is here. Aren’t you going to catch up
on the good old days?”
Corinne’s calm expression stiffened after hearing what Zeke said. ‘Jeremy hasn’t lett yet?”
She turned her head and saw Jeremy leaning lazily on the wicker chair by the window. He had a cigarette between
his long fingers with smoke wafting through the air. He stared at them like a cold, hard sculpture.
He had been in Lunar Century Manor all along, but he simply did not participate in the card.
game.
By the time Corinne came back to her senses, Jason had already ushered her to the sofa. She sat silently and
watched the men playing cards, but she could not shake off the cold gaze that
was fixated on her.
She felt as if she was sitting on pins and needles… With ants in her pants, and a fishbone stuck
in her throat.

her wounded leg made her entire body uncomfortable too.
Jason saw her discomfort and asked, “Are you allxo.com fast update right, Corinne? Do you feel unwell?”
Corinne shook her head. “No, I’m just a little thirsty.”
Jason immediately got up and poured her a glass of water. “Here you go.”
Corinne took the glass and said, “Thank you.”
Jason was very thoughtful to have provided warm water for her. She felt slightly better after drinking the entire
glass.
After Jason sat back down, he leaned into her ear all of a sudden and whispered, “I can send you home if you feel
unwell. You’re probably on your period now, right? Is your discomfort because of your period?”
Corinne was taken aback for a moment after Jason’s surprising remark. Periods were part and parcel of being a
woman, and she was surprised not because she was shy, but because she found it a little strange.
She frowned, looked at the charming man beside her, and asked, “Why do you remember my menstrual period?”
Jason chuckled, leaned close to her ear, and whispered, “Did you forget your first visit to my gallery? You felt
uncomfortable because you had your period, and that day was four months ago today.”
