Annie listened to Corinne as though she was receiving the gospel.
“To be honest, I’m not sure if I’ll be okay with an open relationship, but I really like him… And I don’t wanna give up just yet.
Corinne, can you teach me how to be okay if the relationship ends?”
Corinne sighed. She knew there was no stopping Annie, so she patted her shoulder and said, “You shouldn’t be scared of getting
hurt if you like him that much. Whether you’ll come out of the end of a relationship unscathed depends on your nature. I can’t
teach you that.”
To be honest, Corinne was not that confident whether she would be okay should Jeremy break up with her one day.
“That’s all I have to say on this matter. You should just follow your heart,” she added. After that, she got up so she could go
outside to give Aaron a scathing phone call. ‘I told him to leave Annie alone, so what the hell is he doing proposing to her?! He
must be trying to piss me off!’

She walked out of the room and was about to find a quiet place to call Aaron when she saw a tall, handsome figure walking down
the stairs. She did not need to see his face to know that it was her husband, Jeremy.
‘Shouldn’t he be downstairs? Did he just come up? Was he heading up to look for me? That can’t be right. He would’ve knocked
on Annie’s door if he was looking for me. Was he just using the bathroom upstairs?’ thought Corinne.
Corinne decided not to overthink the whole thing, so she went into the bathroom not far away and closed the door to give Aaron
a call.
Aaron picked up on the second ring. “What’s up, Boss?” he asked nonchalantly.
Enter title…

Boss? What are you talking about?” he drawled lazily. “Don’t play dumb! Why did

The playfulness in Aaron’s thickened. “Ah. That. It’s been so long since I’ve met such an innocent girl, so I thought I’ll ask her to
marry me to see her reaction.”
Corinne knew Aaron could not be serious about Annie since he had not been serious about any girl ever since his first love
turned him down. She felt anger welling up inside her, but she kept her voice composed. “Didn’t I tell you to leave her alone? Do
my words mean nothing to you?”
What she did not add was Annie, the lovestruck fool she was, might just kill herself if she knew she was getting played.
Aaron could sense Corinne was livid, so he became serious. “Hey, calm down, boss. Did she really ask you for your blessing?”
“What do you think?” Corinne retorted.
