'It's because Annie has always been kind to me. I don't want to see her get hurt.'
After that, Corinne headed downstairs to look for Jeremy. Halfway down, however, she saw something that stopped her.
Jeremy had changed seats. Jeremy was sitting in an armchair before she headed upstairs with Annie, but at this moment, he sat in the middle of a three-seater. On his left was Zeke, and on his right was a girl sitting very close to him.
The fact that he changed seats meant he did go upstairs.
Corinne narrowed her eyes. She could not help but admit to herself that she was a little pissed that the girl was sitting so close to her husband.
She walked over to them so quietly that no one noticed her approaching.
The girl sitting next to Jeremy took out her phone before taking a deep breath to muster up the courage to sit closer to Jeremy and asked, "M—Mister Jeremy, can I get your social media account?"
Corinne did not stop walking when she heard that as she was confident Jeremy would turn the girl down. To her shock, Jeremy actually agreed.
"Sure."
Jason was a little surprised at this, so he turned to look at Jeremy with a raised eyebrow to see what his reaction would be. Everyone sensed something was off too, so they all turned to look at Jeremy.
Jeremy simply narrowed his eyes and said nothing. There was no hint of emotion on his face as he looked down at his phone.
'He must be checking to see if that girl has added him as a friend,' thought Corinne. The spot she was sitting allowed her to take a good look at the girl who asked for Jeremy's contact details. The girl looked young and fresh. She was not particularly striking, but her age made up for her looks.
"Corinne, what's the matter? Why did you choose to sit next to me?"
