Jason knew Jeremy was a very astute person who could easily notice that something was amiss. Thus, he got up, grabbed his coat, and walked out of the office swiftly. He could only rest at ease if he fetched Corinne in person!
…
After replying to Jason's message, Corinne put down her phone and continued to eat.
"Don't force yourself to eat things that don't suit your taste." Jeremy's words seemed to hint at something.
Corinne froze as she took some food and raised her eyes to look at Jeremy. It was then she noticed him staring at her with that inscrutable gaze again.
"I'm perfectly fine with them. I chose these, after all. Why wouldn't I like them?" Corinne said, forcing a smile on her scar-ridden face.
Jeremy seemed to have snorted coldly in response to that, but she could not be sure of that.
Sophia continued the previous topic and asked, "Miss Moon, you mentioned that the source of inspiration for your design is love, but the story didn't seem to have ended well. May I ask why you and your lover broke up in the end?"
Corinne was a little disgusted by this question. She frowned and retorted, "It's a very personal issue. There's no need to talk about it, is there?"
Sophia held her chin curiously and said, "I'm just curious about the sort of man that could inspire you to design such a magnificent and unique building. He must be very handsome, I believe."
Corinne did not deny it. "He is. But having good looks isn't the be-all and end-all."
Sophia blinked. "It seems to me that you still resent your former lover! What happened? Did he cheat on you or make you feel sad?"
Corinne put down her cutlery and said, "Why are you so intrusive? Is this a guilty pleasure of yours?"
"There's nothing to talk about."
"Why? Do you hate him so much that you can't even bear to talk about him?"
Corinne answered insipidly, "You could say that."
Sophia was adept at reading a person's comfort level in any given situation, but she did not stop there and continued to ask, "Is it because he cheated on you? It must be!"
Corinne had a disgusted look as she asked, "Hasn't anyone told you that curiosity will kill the cat?"
Sophia shrugged, "But satisfaction brought it back! I've always been a very curious person. It stems from when I was still a child! I'll have sleepless nights if I don't get the answer to what I want to know! Please, just do me a favor and tell me!"
