NovelEnglishChapter 1728 ‘Something must be wrong with his assets for him to be in such a hurry to sell them off!" thought Corinne.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtShe was carefully reading the report Xante sent her when her phone rang. She kept her eyes on the laptop screen while her hand moved to find her phone.
"Hey, Corinne. What are you doing now?" greeted Jason through the phone.
She had not seen him for so long that she almost forgot he existed.
"Why are you calling me?’ she asked indifferently. She was in work mode.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmJason sighed with mock disappointment. "Corinne, can't you be nicer to me? We're business partners. Is this really how you want to treat your business partner?" Corinne raised an eyebrow. "How should | treat you then? Should I call you Jay-jay in a sickeningly sweet voice?" Jason smiled. "Yes, you should! I'll be very happy if you callthat!" Corinne was not in the mood to talk nonsense with him, so she said, "If you don't have anything important to say, I'm going to hang up the phone now." "Wait, no! I'm calling you to talk about work. | thought I'd lighten up the mood since we're friends. Well, that certainly backfired on me." Needless to say, Corinne found it annoying as usual. "So what about work?" she asked.
Jason feared she might really hang up on him, so he said seriously, "It's not convenient forto talk about it over the phone. I'm going over to your office later, and we can talk then. Remember to make tfor me." Corinne frowned. She was losing her patience with him. Why did he go through all that trouble just to tell her that? Thus, she simply hung up the phone.
She continued to read the report Xante sent her. After she finished, she got the gist of what Adam was up to. She then changed into her work clothes and went downstairs. She tasked the servant to drop the kids off at kindergarten before leaving the house.
Once she arrived at her company, she was raring to start work, but Jason was already waiting for her at her office. Her expression immediately darkened when she saw him.
Being the smart guy he was, Jason could instantly tell his presence was not appreciated. Nonetheless, he did not care. He smiled nonchalantly and said, "Corinne, you're late by a minute! It's not a good look to the staff if the president of the company is late. We should lead by example!" Corinne glared at him and said sarcastically while opening her door," Thanks for the reminder, but why don't you worry about yourself first? It's Monday morning, so you should be in your own office instead of here. How is that leading by example?"
