Corinne nodded, if you're still here, that is." Jason grinned. "Don't worry. | will be here." After that, Jason followed Corinne's secretary out of the office.
‘Finally, speace," thought Corinne. She did not waste any tgetting to work. She turned on her laptop to do spaperwork in preparation for the meeting later.

As much as she did not like Jason, she was immensely grateful for him helping her out in the past. However, she could not return his feelings. Thus, when Jason proposed the two companies working together to develop the piece of land in Serenity Bay, Corinne immediately agreed to bring up the idea in the board of directors meeting.
As to whether they would give her the green light, that was something she had no say in.
In the end, the board of directors thought the land owned by Talbot Group would provide a strategic advantage to the company should they work together, so the project was given the green light.
However, Corinne did not expect that the project would give Jason a legitimate reason to pester her.
Corinne forgot all about Jason after he left her office. She quickly finished her work and went to get sdocuments from her secretary before walking over to the meeting room.

"He's still here?" she asked with a frown.
Her secretary nodded. "Yes. He's been waiting for you in the lounge area all this time." "Didn't | tell you to turn on the heater?" asked Corinne with annoyance.
"I did! | turned it all the way up to thirty-five degrees Celsius, but he didn't seem to be affected by the heat!" 'What? He still stayed even with the heater cranked up that high? Anyone in their right mind would have left by now! Could it be that he has fainted already?’ thought Corinne.
She quickly went to the lounge area. A flood of heatwave immediately washed over her when she pushed open the door, causing her to sweat.
'How could he possibly take this heat?’ She walked in but found no sign of Jason after looking around. 'He must've secretly slipped out with his tail between his legs." She breathed a sigh of relief and was just about to leave the room when someone jumped out and pounced on her. She did not even have the chance to react before she found herself pinned to the wall.
