The Day I Kissed An Older Man

Aaron saw the look in Corinne’s eyes and knew what she was hinting at. Smiling, he said, “Why, Miss Corinne. We’ve come to
visit you, of course.”
“It’s been so long since we met, so we thought we’d drop by,” added Xante.
Both of them tacitly did not call her ‘Boss’.
“Great. You’ve come just at the right time. I was feeling bored, but with you guys here, we can play some bridge to kill time.”
“Sure,” said Aaron with a smile.
“Yay! Mister Aaron gave me half-day off, so I can play with you guys too. I’ve always wanted to learn how to play bridge,” said
Annie happily.
At that moment, Pamela came out of the kitchen with two maids.
“Corinne, I heard you have some friends over, so I made some snacks for them. Tell them to try it while it’s still hot!”
However, Corinne made no move to do so, which was weird since she had always been respectful of Pamela.
Annie quickly stood up and said, “Thank you, Ma’am. That’s very thoughtful of you.”Books Chapters Are Daily Updated Join &

Pamela smiled kindly at her. “You’re Annie, right? It’s been so long since you last dropped by that I nearly don’t even recognize
you anymore. My, my, you’ve certainly grown into a beautiful young lady.”
“You’re too kind, Ma’am,” said Annie, blushing.
Both Aaron and Xante got up to greet Pamela.
Since Pamela never met them before, she retained a little wariness when talking to them.
“You two must be Corinne’s friends. Sorry about the security checks, but Jeremy is really worried about Corinne getting hurt.
Please don’t take it personally,” she said politely.
Aaron smiled. “Don’t worry. It’s totally understandable.”
Xante said nothing.

Pamela gestured for the two maids to put down the snacks before sitting beside Corinne and Joey. Only then did Annie, Aaron,
and Xante sit.
“Try the snacks. I hope they’re to your liking,” said Pamela politely. After that, she picked one of Corinne’s favorites and passed it
to her. “Corinne, this is your favorite strawberry cookie. I’ve made extra for you.”
“Thanks, but no thanks. I appreciate the gesture, but I’m not in the mood to eat any sweet stuff at the moment,” said Corinne
coldly.
Pamela’s hand paused. She did not get angry and passed the cookie to Joey instead. “Here, child. Try this cookie, and let me
know whether it’s good or not.”
Being a kid, Joey could not resist any sweet stuff, so he quickly took the cookie and ate it. Corinne simply glanced at him and
said nothing.
Since Pamela was there, Aaron and the rest of them found it awkward to talk about what they came for so they all fell silent.
In the past, Pamela had never been the one to insert herself into Corinne’s friend group. She would go back to her room after
serving some snacks so that Corinne and her friend could talk more comfortably.
