Corinne thanked the employees and gave a tour of the place. There were some floor-to-ceiling windows on the side
of the hallway, so she went there to look around. The view was as spectacular as she imagined, offering a glimpse
of almost the entire city.
Nevertheless, she knew the hallway could never compare to the view in Jeremy’s office. She specially designed his
at the north end to overlook the city’s beautiful Scented Lake, where he could watch the sun rise and set.
Whenever he was tired from work, he could just glance up and see the beautiful scenery to relieve his fatigue.
In hindsight, it was a waste to design such a beautiful office for that man.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtWhen she heard from the employees that Jeremy would not be around, she was tempted to go in and look. When
they were not paying attention, she seized the moment to slip in.
The decor in the president’s office was more upscale compared to the common areas. The atmosphere was
mature and minimalist, which characterized Jeremy well. Corinne sighed as she stood by the floor-to-ceiling
windows and looked out at Scented Lake. It was as beautiful as she imagined.
Alas, she did not have the luxury of staying there and admiring the scenery for too long. There was a lounge in the
staff area where she could wait for her ride to arrive before going down.
Corinne spent less than a minute inside the office. When she was about to leave, she was startled when she opened
the door and saw someone coming in. She fretted it was Jeremy, but she sighed in relief when she spotted a
curvaceous woman instead.
‘Thank goodness it’s not Jeremy.’
Sophia was a little suspicious when she saw a stranger coming out of Jeremy’s office. “What are you doing? Who
said you could come in here?”
Corinne recognized the woman at a glance. It was none other than the woman whom Aaron photographed walking
with Jeremy—she was his legal wife. The last thing Corinne wanted was to engage in a conversation with that
woman.
She merely apologized and explained, “Sorry, I went into the wrong room.” She then walked past Sophia to leave.
Sophia frowned skeptically and did not intend to just let the matter slide. “Stop right there!”

something I can help you with, ma’am?”
Sophia folded her arms. She walked up to Corinne and looked at the latter from top to bottom. Everything about
Corinne screamed ‘suspicious’, from the way she was dressed to the mask she wore! “Are you an employee of
Holden Group?”
Corinne shook her head truthfully. “I am not.”
Sophia frowned. “Then how did you get in here? This is the president’s office! Did you think you could just come and
go as you please?”
