Chapter 128
“Of course not!” answered Corinne before Jeremy could. “Why would I know someone as
important as Mister Jeremy? I’m not fit to know him at all!” At the same time, she withdrew her hand
with all her strength.
Unfortunately, she tilted the teacup by accident and spilled half the cup because she pulled her hand
back too forcefully. The back of the man’s hand turned red after being scalded.
“Gah! Corinne! What are you doing? How hard is it to serve tea?!” Sherlyn screamed, pushed Corinne
away, and ran over to show concern for Jeremy’s burn.
“Does it hurt, Mister Jeremy? I’m sorry that my assistant is such an idiot. I’ll teach her a lesson. later!”
Jeremy withdrew his hand coldly and did not let Sherlyn touch him. He shook off the remaining tea on
his hand gently, took the tissue handed over by the waiter, and wiped his hands slowly. As he did all

scalded. He remained silent for two seconds before saying pensively, “She does need to be taught a
lesson.”
Sherlyn froze after her gesture was rebuffed, so to make herself less embarrassed, she turned her
head and scolded, “Why are you just standing there, Corinne? Hurry up and kneel! You need to
apologize to Mister Jeremy!”
Corinne merely bowed and said, “I’m sorry, Mister Jeremy. I didn’t mean it!”
Jeremy ignored her, and there was a distinct lack of emotion on his cold and handsome face.
Nevertheless, he sent chills down her spine.
The other three men on the tea table simply sat still and enjoyed the show. They watched quietly while
drinking their tea and immersed themselves in their thoughts.
The atmosphere became stifling, and Goran felt a little at a loss. Jeremy was someone that should
never be offended at all costs, yet the situation had turned gravely sour! He frowned and gave Sherlyn
a wink.
Sherlyn immediately understood what he meant, and after thinking about it, she waved at Corinne in
disgust. “That’ll be enough. Mister Jeremy won’t hold it against a country girl like you! Seeing as you’ve
been so clumsy, I’d rather you not stand here anymore and stay away from the table instead. Get out,
and don’t ruin Mister Jeremy’s mood with your presence!”
It went without saying that she had no desire to protect Corinne. In fact, she wished that Corinne would
offend Jeremy and get taught a stern lesson by him! Unfortunately, Corinne was her assistant, so
whatever actions Corinne did would reflect on her as the employer, and it would leave a lasting bad
impression on Jeremy. If he wanted to hold a grudge, Corinne’s mistakes would implicate her, too.
Keeping things calm and peaceful was undoubtedly the best way forward.
Besides, Sherlyn also hated Corinne’s eyesore of a presence in the room. She was wearing such ugly

limelight!
Corinne could not be happier when Sherlyn told her to leave. She nodded, turned around, and walked
away at once.
She finally got her wish to stay away from all those people!
The tea room for VIPs was very large, and except for Jeremy and a few waiters who were in charge of
serving the guests, there was no one else in the room.
Corinne spotted a mahogany sofa in the distance. There was no one there, and it appeared to be a
nice and quiet place. She walked over, sat on the sofa, and lowered her head to her phone to kill time
with some games.
As she was busy playing, a slender, handsome hand handed her a glass of orange juice all of a
sudden.
Corinne froze slightly and looked up to see Jason glancing at her with a smile on his handsomely sexy
face.
