The Day I Kissed An Older Man

Annie snapped out of her trance. “Yes, Corinne?”
“You can go back to work if you want. I’m perfectly okay right here, so you don’t have to stay the whole day with me. Though, I
won’t mind you dropping in from time to time.”
Annie shook her head resolutely. “No. I’ve promised Uncle Jeremy I’ll take care of you, so I cannot go back on my word.”
Corinne shook her head. “I’ll explain everything to him. Plus, you don’t have to listen to everything he says. That workaholic
thinks only his work is important, while yours isn’t. That’s why he didn’t think twice about asking you to take care of me. Don’t pay
him any mind.”
Annie did not mind taking care of Corinne. “It’s okay, Corinne. I’ve already asked for some time off from work. Mister Aaron was
actually the one who approved my leave and arranged for another colleague to take over my work for the time being.”
Hearing this, Corinne rolled her eyes at him. ‘He approved of Annie’s time off work, yet he told me he didn’t know she’d be here.
Huh! Once a liar, always a liar.’
Corinne sighed. She wanted Annie to leave because she knew the longer she stayed in the room, the more hurt she would be by
Aaron’s actions.
“Boss, I’ve already arranged for someone to take over Miss Annie’s work, so why don’t you let her stay? She seems like she
really wants to take care of you,” said Aaron with a smile when he overheard their conversation.
Corinne would have slapped him if his girlfriend was not present.
Noting that he did not receive any response, Aaron smiled and said, “Miss Annie, I know I shouldn’t ask since you’re on leave,
but might I trouble you to do something for me?”
Annie started blushing madly. She looked toward Aaron’s girlfriend. As conflicted as she felt, she nodded. “I’ll do anything I can
to help you, Mister Aaron.”
“You’re the best, Miss Annie. Can you please help me book a hotel room nearby? My girlfriend is actually a night owl, but she got
up early today to visit Corinne. I’d like to bring her to a hotel to rest now.”Books Chapters Are Daily Updated Join & Stay Updated

‘He wants me to book a hotel room for him and her girlfriend...?’ thought Annie.

Anyone with a brain would rightfully find this inappropriate. Annie might be a lovestruck fool, but she had a brain.
“Why don’t you book it yourself? It’s really easy to book it online now with your phone...” said Annie with a frown.
“Yeah! She has a point, you know!” said Francine. She thought Aaron’s request was inappropriate, too.
Aaron smiled helplessly. “I know it’s easy to book online, but my phone is out of battery. And it’s not like I can ask my girlfriend to
book it since it’s a man’s job to pay for the hotel room. Not to mention, she’s too shy to do something like this too.”
Annie was speechless.
Francine rolled her eyes so hard that they nearly made a 360-degree turn.
“Then you two should just ‘rest’ in your car! Plus, I don’t think your girlfriend is as shy as she makes out to be since she’s
obviously fine with having someone else book a hotel room for you two. I mean, come on—what girl in their right mind would do
it with her boyfriend in the middle of the day? She should just drop her act!”
Hearing this, Aaron’s girlfriend buried her head angrily into his chest. She looked like she was about to cry.
Aaron patted her lightly on the back. “There, there. Just ignore her. I’ll send you to the hotel and come back here so they won’t
have any grounds to say nonsense like that, okay?”
His girlfriend nodded pitifully against his chest.
