The Day I Kissed An Older Man

Sophia noticed the change in Jeremy’s emotions and became more curious about Moon. “Why are you still hesitating, Miss
Moon?”
Corinne gritted her teeth and took off the black mask on her face to reveal what she looked like. Her face was unusually
wrinkled, and the only bright part of her was her eyes. She had a flat nose, thick lips, and a squarish face. It was the very
definition of unsightly.
Sophia was taken aback by the scars and immediately understood why Moon covered herself up like that. She was, no doubt,
hideous.
The flicker in Jeremy’s eyes disappeared, and he looked ashen.
Corinne’s expression remained. “Happy now?”
Sophia asked sympathetically. “How did those scars happen?”
Corinne’s face seemed to have been injured before. The wrinkled skin seemed like burns.
She put on her hat and mask before saying, “It happened after a fire. That was why I didn’t want to attend the ribbon-cutting
ceremony in the first place. It wasn’t because I didn’t want to show any courtesy to Holden Group but because my appearance
might scare other people.”
The fake face was the ugliest that Jason chose, and it was effective in bluffing them.
Sophia felt bad for Corinne and muttered, “Umm... I’m sorry. I didn’t know it was like that. I was a bit too harsh on you
earlier.”Books Chapters Are Daily Updated Join & Stay Updated For All Books Updates...
Corinne did not hold it against Sophia as there was no point in doing so. She just wanted to leave as soon as she could.
“Don’t worry about it. Can I go now?”
Sophia nodded. “Do you need us to arrange for a car to pick you up?”
Corinne waved her hand. “No thanks. A friend will be picking me up.” She strode forward and immediately turned to leave after
getting the chance to escape.
“Stop,” Jeremy demanded coldly.

Corinne froze, and she had no choice but to stop again. “Is there anything else you need from me?”
Jeremy’s expression was indifferent yet professional. He said in a dull tone, “Join us for a meal. You’re here, anyway. I still have
some questions about the building, and it’s difficult to converse about them over email.”
His reasons made it difficult for Corinne to refuse in her capacity as a designer. She felt obliged to answer any post-completion
questions from a client.
As a result, she could only accept his invitation.
Fortunately, she could be somewhat at ease as Jeremy did not notice anything strange about the fake face she was wearing.
Sophia felt that her attitude had hurt Moon’s self-esteem, so she wanted to make it up to Moon by comforting the latter over a
meal. As a woman, she understood how important looks were to a woman, and she knew the extent of the emotional damage
that resulted from disfigurement.
They settled on a restaurant near the Holden Group’s new building. Jeremy and Sophia sat together, while Corinne sat opposite
them. While they were ordering, Jeremy handed her the menu in a very gentlemanly manner.
Corinne took the menu from him and deliberately ordered some of her least favorite foods to avoid any suspicion.
Once Corinne was done ordering, she handed back the menu to Jeremy. He took it from her and ordered what he wanted before
handing the menu to Sophia.
