The Day I Kissed An Older Man

Jason narrowed his eyes. “Corinne, just what is your relationship with Newmoon Group?”
“Xante and Aaron are my childhood friends,” said Corinne honestly.
“I see.” Jason got the gist of the whole thing, so he did not ask any further questions about it. “This is certainly tricky. One
hundred and fifty million dollars isn’t a small sum at all.”
That was why Corinne was so frustrated. If it was only a few thousand or even one hundred thousand dollars, she could have
just let the whole thing be.
“Corinne, have you ever heard of an ancient art of face disguise, Metamorph?” asked Jason with a smile and a raised eyebrow.
‘Metamorph?’ Corinne frowned. “What? Like in the magic world?”
Jason shook his head. “Not exactly. I heard there’s a mask that will change your face completely once you wear it.”
Corinne frowned. “Even if there’s such a mask, how are you going to get it?”
Jason smiled. “I can try to get it. Then you can wear the mask to attend the ribbon-cutting ceremony without having to worry
about being exposed.”
Corinne was not convinced. “But what about my baby bump? It’s not like I can suck it in.”
“What’s wrong with your baby bump? A million women in the world are pregnant at the same time. Corinne, you just have to walk
confidently up to the stage, and no one would suspect anything.”Books Chapters Are Daily Updated Join & Stay Updated For All

Corinne thought what he said sounded reasonable. However, that did nothing to assuage the guilt she felt. She was not
confident that she could act like everything was normal in front of Jeremy with her eight-month baby bump.
“There’s nothing for you to worry about, Corinne. I’ll get my man to look for the mask, and the only thing you need to do is to talk
yourself out of your worry. Trust me, everything’s going to be alright,” comforted Jason.
Corinne nodded. As much as she did not like the plan, she did not have anything better to go on with.
Jason left after sharing the plate of cajun crawfish with Corinne. The only thing she had to do was to wait for his news on the
mask.

Corinne became restless at the thought of having to meet Jeremy in three days. After all, she had not seen him for half a year
and thought she would never have to see him again for the rest of her life.
The next morning, Jason called her to let her know he had gotten the mask and that someone would be bringing it over to her
later that night.
Corinne had given herself pep talks throughout the day, so she felt more confident. She texted Xante in Morse Code to tell her
that she would be attending the ribbon-cutting ceremony as Moon in two days.
...
Xante, who was still in her office, was shocked and worried when she read the text message Corinne sent her.
‘The boss is going to attend the ribbon-cutting ceremony? Isn’t she scared that Mister Jeremy will find out? Wouldn’t all of her
effort in hiding for the past six months be in vain?’
