Chapter 1764 After the call ended, Annie pouted and shot Aaron a glare that could melt steel. She punched him softly.
"This is all your fault! Why did you have to tell Corinne all that nonsense?" she scolded.
Aaron pulled her closer with a teasing grin. "What did | say to make you blush like this?" Annie rolled her eyes. "You purposely said things that would make Corinne get the wrong idea. How am | supposed to face her when noon comes around?" Aaron chuckled. "Con, we're married now. Why are you so scared of people knowing we're sleeping together? Plus, she's not someone else!" Annie struggled in his arms, angrily fending off his attempts to hold her." Anyway, I'm warning you: No more nonsense when we see Corinne at noon, got it?" Aaron playfully put on a show of surrender. "Yes, dear, you have my word. But before that, how about a little reward?" With that, Aaron gently lifted her up. Annie's heart skipped a beat, and before she could say anything, he kissed her lips.

After a busy morning, Corinne finally wrapped up the work that had been put off from yesterday afternoon. She leaned back tiredly on her office chair and sipped her coffee to rest and relish the rare tranquility.
Right at that moment, she received a message from Annie, notifying her that they had reached the building.
Corinne stretched lazily before heading downstairs.
Aaron's car was parked right at the entrance of the Holden Group's building for Corinne's convenience.
After seeing Corinne stepping out from the company, Annie who was seated in the back, immediately lowered the window and waved. "Corinne!" a Corinne nodded, opened the door, and got in the car.
Aaron was in the driver's seat. After Corinne entered the vehicle, he turned and asked with a mix of respect and friendliness, "Boss, what do you want to have for lunch?" “I'm good with anything. You should ask your wife instead," replied Corinne indifferently.
Annie was snuggling up to Corinne. She hugged the other woman's arm as soon as she got in the car.

Aaron observed Annie through the rearview mirror. "Ask her? Why, she has no eyes forright now? She's all yours now, boss. | won't try to steal the spotlight. Why don't you ask her instead?" Corinne chuckled and turned to Annie, who was leaning on her shoulder by then. "Your husband asking you what you want to eat for lunch." Annie smiled dreamily. "I'll eat whatever Corinne wants to eat!" Aaron, driving, shrugged. "See? | told you so." Corinne gave a wry smile. "Let's go for Japanese food, then." Aaron grinned. "Sure. Which restaurant?" Corinne was not picky. "Any will do." "Let's hit up our usual spot! By the way, Xante just calledand asked where we were. Should we ask her to join US?"
Corinne hesitated. She did not mean to exclude Xante; it was just because wherever Xante went, the cheeky Sunny was sure to follow. The boy just annoyed her.
Aaron saw Corinne's expression through the rearview mirror, so he said," You know what ? Let's hust forget it Xante's been running the company by herself lately. Let's not bother her. She can grab something in the office cafeteria."
However, Corinne still felt distressed after hearing this. She knew Xante was swamped with work on her own as Aaron had been busy with wedding preparations.
