The Day I Kissed An Older Man

‘Heh! Sophia is something else, too! She knew I’m the boss’ friend, yet she dared to tell me Mister Jeremy doesn’t really talk
about the boss much lately. She’s obviously declaring doing this to let me know Mister Jeremy is hers alone,’ thought Xante.
Xante went on to speculate that Sophia was hoping she would tell Corinne of their conversation today so she would know to
back off. ‘Haha! These two manipulative b*stard and b*tch are meant for each other.’
“What makes you think I’ll tell you when Mister Jeremy obviously doesn’t want to tell you? Miss Sophia, I’m honored that you’ll
ask us to join you for lunch, but please bear in mind we’re not really close enough to talk about a lot of things,” said Xante.
Instead of being offended, Sophia smiled at her. “Miss Xante, I was just curious. Why are you being so defensive? Could it be
that you know where Miss Corinne is hiding now?”
Jeremy suddenly snapped his head up to look at Xante when he heard that.
Xante almost lost her cool. ‘This woman isn’t to be underestimated.’
She pushed up her gold-rimmed glasses out of habit and said, “I wish I knew where she is ’cause it’s been quite a while since we
last saw her. We’re all really worried about her. I’m guessing she doesn’t want to show herself ’cause there’s someone she
wishes very much to avoid, so we won’t force her to do so.”Books Chapters Are Daily Updated Join & Stay Updated For All

Sophia pretended to be confused. “She wants to avoid seeing someone? Miss Xante, don’t tell me you’re referring to Jeremy.
Why wouldn’t Miss Corinne want to see him? From what I know, he’s very good to her.”
Xante smiled. “‘Good’ is a very subjective word in this case. Is sweet-talking to trap another person in a lie good? If you think
that’s good, Miss Sophia, you can keep him all to yourself! Corinne has no need for a good-for-nothing like him!”
Sophia frowned. “I was right! You must know why Miss Corinne left Jeremy. Otherwise, you wouldn’t say something like that to
defend her!” She turned toward Jeremy. “Did you hear that, Jeremy? Miss Xante seems to have it in for you. Miss Corinne must
be complaining to her about you all the time.”
Xante gritted her teeth secretly. ‘This woman surely doesn’t let up any opportunity to drive a wedge between the boss and Mister
Jeremy! Wait... I shouldn’t get all worked up over this since the boss doesn’t care how Mister Jeremy sees her anymore.’
However, she felt discomfort with the way Jeremy gazed at her.

“Do I have something on my face, Mister Jeremy? Why are you looking at me like that?” she asked with a breezy smile.
“Do you or do you not know where Corinne is right now?” he asked darkly, frowning.
Xante’s heart skipped a beat because Jeremy was looking at her as though he could see right through her soul. She told herself
she could not let Corinne’s hard work end up in vain just because she could not keep calm under pressure.
Thus, she squeezed out a smile and said, “I’ve already told you that I don’t know, and neither does Aaron. We have our men
looking for her everywhere, but we still came up empty-handed. I was about to ask you whether you have any news of her.”
Jeremy’s eyes gradually dimmed. He shook his head apathetically. “No, I don’t.”
Xante scoffed. “Looks like she doesn’t really want to be found, huh? It’s a pity Aaron and I lost her just because she doesn’t want
to see someone.”
Jeremy frowned again.
Sophia’s eyes flickered. “Miss Xante, did Miss Corinne complain about Jeremy to you before?”
