Annie was worried Francine would do something stupid if she got the wrong idea about Corinne and Aaron’s relationship, so she quickly answered, “He’s Mister Aaron, vice-president of Newmoon Group. He and Corinne are very good friends. They go way back.”

Francine frowned in confusion. “What? Corinne is friends with Newmoon Group’s vice-president? I thought she came from the countryside. How could she know someone like that?”

Annie rolled her eyes at her. “You’re really as shallow as I thought you are. You shouldn’t judge a person by their background, you know? So what if Corinne came from the countryside? Uncle Jeremy still fell madly in love with her, didn’t he? It’s not that surprising Corinne will have some impressive friends, right?”

Francine felt conflicted. ‘So Corinne already knew some impressive people before she even met Jeremy, yet she never once name-dropped them to impress me. Looks like I really should get to know her better…’

“Well, he’s certainly quite good-looking. Why didn’t Corinne get with him instead of my brother?”

Annie rolled her eyes again. “So what if he’s good-looking? That means nothing if there’s no spark between them. Plus, I just told you they go way back, so they’re more like family than friends. It’s hard to fall for your own brother or sister, don’t you think? You better not bring this up to your grandparents, you hear?”
