She and him were like chalk and cheese, but somehow they just clicked. Everyone passing them by couldn't help but steal glances.
Out of the blue, Cornelia plucked up the courage and poked his face. "I'm flirting with my hubby. Can't you tell?"
Jeremy was left speechless.
This man, who never backed down in the business world, was now blushing. Flustered, he tried to change the subject. "How's Hannah's situation coming along?"
Cornelia teased him. "Hubby, why are you blushing?"
Jeremy grabbed her fidgeting hand. "We're discussing serious matters here."
Cornelia replied, "Discussing how much I miss you?"
Getting bolder with every move, Cornelia got Jeremy worried she might do something over the top in public. "Can we talk about Hannah?"
Taking into account Jeremy's health and Cornelia having just given birth, they both knew it wasn't the time for intimacy, so Cornelia decided to play it cool. She earnestly said, "With President Dixon involved, I'm not too worried. But Hannah doesn't trust him, and mending fences with her might not be easy."
Jeremy replied, "Steven saw the light earlier than Zavier, so there's still a shot."
Cornelia countered, "Not necessarily. Hannah has shared how Steven bullied her. He's really broken her heart. If I were her, I wouldn't forgive him."
