Moreover, Xante and Aaron were looking for Corinne as well. They, too, came up empty-handed.

‘Where the hell is that girl hiding?’ thought Jeremy.

“Sir, we’re here.”

Jeremy snapped out of his thoughts and looked out of the window. They had arrived at the hotel where the business banquet was held.

He got out of the car and walked steadily to the banquet hall. As soon as he got there, a lavishly dressed ***y woman wound her arm around his.

“Jeremy, you’re late! Everyone has been waiting for you,” said Sophia with a flirtatious smile.

Jeremy unhooked her arm from his and walked to distance himself. “Why come early when it’s not an important event at all?” he asked aloofly.

“How can you say that about a business banquet? All the biggest corporations have come together to talk about the latest development in the industry, so it’s really a good opportunity to network!” said Sophia.

Jeremy was not interested in all that. He possessed all the latest global information at his very fingertips, so there was no need to waste his time in this kind of networking event. He only attended because Zeke and Gerald had been calling him nonstop, asking him to join them in one event or the other. He thought it would be rude if he kept on turning them down.Books Chapters Are Daily Updated Join & Stay Updated For All Books Updates…

Most of the events they invited him to attend were of the loud kind, so when they asked him to attend this business banquet, he thought it would be the perfect opportunity to hang out with them.

Additionally, he attended this instead of the other events because no random girls would be throwing themselves at him.

Sophia smiled at him. “Alright, alright. If you’re that reluctant to talk to the other people here, you can come hang out with me, Zeke, and Gerald. They’re waiting for you on the balcony.”

Jeremy nodded and followed her upstairs. Midway up the stairs, he happened to bump into Lucas, who was coming down from the stairs. The two men exchanged glances before walking past each other silently. It was obvious they did not like each other one bit.

Previously, they would at least give each other a curt nod if they saw one another, and this was despite the bad blood between the two families. However, half a year ago, they became strangers to each other after having a huge fight about Corinne. Lucas felt he was already being kind by letting Jeremy live after Corinne disappeared, so there was no way he would acknowledge him on the stairs!

Jeremy was not in the mood to care about Lucas either, so he walked to the balcony. Zeke immediately stood up with a glass of wine in his hand when he saw Jeremy.

“Hey Jeremy, it’s been a while. Why do you keep turning down our invitations? Have you become a hermit or something?” he asked as he put his arm around Jeremy’s shoulder.

Jeremy gave him a cold side-eye before pushing him away. “Get lost.”

Zeke strode to where Gerald was like a hurt dog. “Gerald, did you see that? I was only worried about him, yet he told me to get lost! Is this how one should treat a friend?”

Gerald, who sat on the sofa, sipped his wine before saying, “Serves you right.”

After that, he picked up a glass of wine and passed it to Jeremy, who sat next to him. “Hey man, how have you been? Any news about her yet?”

Jeremy accepted the glass of wine and clinked it with Gerald’s. He shook his head darkly in response to his question.
