Aaron shook his head. "Nothing. I'll call the shots if you don't know what to eat. After that, we can think about what to bring back for the boss."
Annie was fine with that. She nodded listlessly and said, "Fine. Whatever."
Aaron glanced at her. "What's the matter? Are you so disappointed you can't have lunch with your boyfriend?"
Annie rolled her eyes. "Would you cancel the company meeting so he can accompany me to lunch if I say yes?"
"Nope," said Aaron with a grin.
"Then what's the point of asking?" replied Annie with a glare.
"I just want to give myself the chance to have some alone time with you."
Annie was speechless. She finally decided to stop being a foolish romantic, yet he was undoing all of her efforts.
"Ahem! I'll call Corinne to ask her what she'd like to eat."
Feeling embarrassed, Annie did not know what to say, so she took out her phone to call Corinne. No one picked up.
"This is weird. Why didn't Corinne pick up the phone?"
"Maybe she didn't hear the phone ringing," replied Aaron.
Sighing, Annie put away her phone.
Even if they were going to have lunch, it was still very early. Alas, she would need to be alone with Aaron for a few minutes, and the thought of that gave Annie a headache.
Corinne found a more casual-style suit in Aaron's closet and gave it to Jason.
Jason said that some of the food had gotten into his clothes too, so he would like to take a shower in Aaron's bathroom.
Since it was not her bathroom, Corinne did not turn him down.
After that, she went back to her room to shower before changing into clean clothes.
While she was digging through her closet for some clothes, she heard the doorbell ring. 'Who's that?' she thought. 'Sh*t! I haven't been living here for the past six months, so all my clothes don't fit my pregnant body!'
The doorbell kept ringing, so Corinne had no choice but to throw on a bathrobe and rush over to open the door.
