"Ask my men to continue looking for her. I'll catch the first flight back home!" interrupted Jeremy sternly.
After that, he hung up the phone.
Francine sighed helplessly. She then went through everything in Corinne's phone, but she found not a clue.
'What the heck is Corinne thinking? Does this mean she's really determined to break up with Jeremy?'
…
Meanwhile, at Holden Group's branch office in Molomia.
Jeremy quickly strode out of his office after picking up his suit jacket. As soon as he pushed open the door, he bumped into a woman who was just about to knock on the door.
"Jeremy, where are you going?" asked the scantily-clad woman.
"I'm going back home to attend to some urgent matter," said Jeremy without stopping.
The woman was stunned. She quickly followed him to the elevator. "Jeremy, didn't you fly back a few days ago? What's so urgent that you need to go back again? Also, all the hard work you put in will be in vain if you go back now!"
"I couldn't care less about that right now," replied Jeremy.
The woman had never seen Jeremy so panic-stricken before. After thinking about it, she asked cautiously, "Does this have something to do with Miss Corinne?"
Jeremy did not answer her. He stepped into the elevator the moment the door opened.
[Feel free to use the tablet to watch a movie or play a game after you've eaten. The IP address is registered under the cleaner that comes once a week to clean the house, so you don't have to worry about Jeremy finding out you're here.]
Corinne was a little taken aback by the text message. She looked around the room carefully but found nothing suspicious.
[Are you spying on me through some hidden camera?]
[Of course not! Even I won't do something so low. Plus, I'm not as controlling or possessive as Jeremy.]
Corinne simply replied to him with a smiley emoji.
Looking at the emoji, Jason could just imagine Corinne smiling a smile that did not reach her eyes.
