Corinne immediately frowned when she saw Jeremy already seated inside the private dining room of a restaurant.

“What’s he doing here?” she asked Lucas unhappily, blaming him for not telling her that Jeremy would be joining them for dinner.

Lucas could tell Corinne was angry, but he expected this. “He’s going abroad soon, and he wants to treat us to dinner tonight. Just treat this as his farewell dinner,” he explained gently.

‘He’s going abroad again?’ thought Corinne with a frown.

“Is this necessary? I mean, Mister Jeremy takes the plane like normal people taking the bus, so do we really need to have a farewell dinner with him? Or does he not plan to come back this time?” she asked mockingly to hide the panic rising in her chest.

Jeremy got up and pulled out a chair for her. “You don’t sound like you want me to come back at all.”

Corinne scoffed. “And you make it sound as if I have a say in that.”

Jeremy was not in a hurry to explain himself. Instead, he gestured at the chair with his chin and said, “Why don’t you take a seat?”

Corinne walked over and unceremoniously sat down.
