Francine frowned unhappily. “How is my family selfish?”

“Don’t you think it’s selfish to keep Corinne tied to your family? I mean, Jeremy has been missing for three years, yet Corinne still had to raise his kids and run the company, giving her no time to start her life afresh. What’s even sadder about the whole thing is the two of them never even got legally married.”

Francine knew Jason was right, but she still retorted through gritted teeth, “Jeremy is missing, not dead! He’ll come back one day.”

Jason smiled coldly. “He would’ve come back if he could. It’s impossible for him to abandon Corinne and the babies, no?”

Not able to win the argument, Francine decided to just stop him from going into Corinne’s office. “There’s no use saying so much. In case you’ve forgotten, you’re in my territory, so you can’t go in unless I say you can!”

Jason took one step toward her. “What if I hit on you instead?”

“What? Did you say you were going to hit me? As if I’d believe you’ll be stupid enough to do that here,” said Francine fearlessly.

Jason took a few more steps toward her until she could feel his breath on her face.

“I’m not going to hit you. What I said was, what if I hit on you instead of Corinne since you don’t like me courting her? I don’t mind changing my target since you’re getting more and more beautiful by the day.”
