Jason moved his face closer to hers. "I already have enough money for my future wife to live comfortably with, so what I lack now is a wife. Say, why don't you help me find one, Corinne?"
Corinne frowned with disgust. She was about to leave her alone when the car door on the driver's side opened, and Tommy sat down with a serious expression.
"Ahem!" he cleared his throat loudly.
Jason sat back in his seat without any signs of embarrassment.
"Mister Jason, where should I drop you off?" asked Tommy with a frown.
"You can drop me off at whichever homestay Corinne is staying in. It'll be more convenient to take care of each other that way," said Jason with a straight face.
"I'm sorry, Mister Jason, but Miss Corinne is staying with the Riveras at their summer villa. I don't think it'll be possible for you to follow along," said Tommy.
Jason raised his eyebrow. "She's staying at the Riveras' simmer villa? Why, that's even better! I can just call Lucas to ask him to let me stay too."
Jason took out his phone and was dialing the numbers when Corinne snatched his phone.
"Mister Jason, just what are you trying to achieve by doing all this?" asked Corinne angrily.
Jason spread out his hands innocently. "Corinne, we're friends, are we not? I'm just glad I bumped into a familiar face in a place like this, so forgive me for wanting to stay closer to you. I'm actually quite scared to live alone in the mountains. Can you please, please take some pity on me and let me stay in the Riveras' summer villa with you?"
Instead of being angry, Jason simply chuckled and shrugged it off. To his credit, he did keep his silence.
Half an hour later, they arrived at the summer villa. All the servants there knew Jason to be Lucas' good friend, so they quickly arranged a guest room for him to stay.
Corinne left him to his own device and walked back to her room with Tommy behind her.
Once they got to a place with no one around, Tommy said, "Ma'am, it's best to stay away from Mister Jason."
Corinne never intended to spend time with Jason at all, but Tommy's advice sounded strange. After all, she remembered Jeremy telling her the same thing before.
