There was a pleasant ring to the man's tone. Judging from the background, he seemed to be at home.
Corinne said, "It's me, Corinne."
Jason was stunned for a moment. His charming eyes then lit up. "Corinne? I wouldn't have expected you to call me."
Corinne cut straight to the chase. "Can you do me a favor?"
Jason asked with a smile, "Will I get anything in return?"
Corinne frowned. She pursed her lips and asked, "Shouldn't you be asking me what sort of favor I want from you?"
Jason answered flirtatiously, "That's not important! As long as you give me a chance to get close to you, I'll agree without even batting an eye."
Corinne frowned. She always believed Aaron to be a one-of-a-kind flirt, but it was after meeting Jason that she realized that the latter was far ahead of Aaron in that aspect! She could not care less for his sweet-talking and laid out her plans to him right away.
Jason was forthright about it as well and proposed the benefits he would like in return.
After considering his demands, Corinne eventually agreed and ended the call.
Jason had other things to say, but Corinne ended the call before he could do so. He looked poignantly at the phone and sighed.
"Who were you talking to, Jason?" Zeke asked, putting his arm around Jason's shoulder.
"Hmph! You even blocked me on social media! What are you trying to achieve? Didn't I already apologize to you?"
Corinne recognized that voice as belonging to Sunny. She was a little surprised, because as far as she knew, they had no business with each other. 'Why would he call Xante?' she asked.
Sunny then said, "Hey! Xante? Why aren't you saying anything? Are you still angry with me? Come on, I've already apologized to you! I didn't even get angry with you when you told on me to my brother and had him send someone to deal with me. You weren't like that when you pushed me into bed the other night! You can't do this to me! Do you think I'll let you get away with ignoring me after you slept with me? Keep dreaming!"
Corinne finally understood what was going on. Her expression soured, and she massaged her temples. "When did that happen?"
Sunny was silent.
Corinne then asked sternly, "I'm asking you a question!"
