Chapter 134

“I’m not afraid, I’m not afraid… To take a stand, to take a stand… It’s been a ride… Everybody…”

Corinne snapped back to her senses when her phone suddenly rang, and the suggestive atmosphere between her and Jeremy disappeared in a second.

As she faced the man’s long dark eyes, she backed away uncomfortably and took out her cell phone to look at the caller ID. It turned out to be Sherlyn. Before she could answer the phone, Sherlyn’s voice sounded outside the restroom, and there was a knock on the restroom door.

“I know you’re in there, Corinne. I heard your horrendous ringtone coming from inside! Come out of here right now! Stop slacking off, hiding in the restroom!”

Corinne frowned, looked up at the man, and shrugged her shoulders while saying, “Did you hear that? Sherlyn’s looking for me. I need to go out.”

Jeremy looked down at her and did not react.

Corinne moved off him, thought for a moment, and then said, “Wait here, and don’t go out after me. If she sees us inside the same restroom, explaining things will be impossible.” As soon as she said that, she turned around and prepared to go out when his hand that was still on her waist pulled her closer instead.
