The Day I Kissed An Older Man

Sophia shook her head. “You can just order for me. You know what I like to eat, anyway!”
Jeremy did not ask her again. He handed the menu to the waiter and helped Sophia order the usual.
Corinne smirked sarcastically when she saw Jeremy ordering food for his legal wife so habitually. She lowered his head and took
a big gulp of the complimentary lemon water on the table.
“Would you like anything else? Don’t be shy. Just order whatever you want!” Sophia smiled politely.
The way she spoke was very natural. It was almost as if Jeremy was Sophia’s husband!
Then again, ‘as if’ was probably not the best word to use. Sophia was Jeremy’s legal wife.
Corinne tried her best to force a smile. “No thanks. I’m already fat enough. I’m supposed to be eating less to control my weight.”
Sophia reassured her. “Don’t call yourself fat! Girls are cuter when they’re a little meatier. You don’t think she’s fat, do you,
Jeremy?”
Jeremy glanced at Moon silently. He did not want to comment at all.
Corinne knew he did not like lying. The way he looked at her was a clear enough sign that she was fat and ugly in his eyes.
Corinne, however, could not care less what he thought; she had nothing to do with him.
“What was it you wanted to ask about the building? It’s already complete though, so I can’t make any changes even if there are
certain aspects which you are unhappy about.”Books Chapters Are Daily Updated Join & Stay Updated For All Books Updates...
Jeremy said, “I’m very satisfied with it, and I don’t see a need to make any changes. I’m curious to know where your inspiration
came from, though. Could you tell me something about it?”
Corinne felt a twinge of sadness when he asked that. She lowered her eyes and thought for a moment. “Love, I guess.”
It might sound like a pompous statement, but it was the truth.
When she made the design, all Corinne thought of was Jeremy. She wanted to ensure that his workplace was safer than
anywhere else; that he had the best view of the city; that the environment was comfortable and convenient; and that the design
lived up to his identity and suited his tastes.

She had fallen in love with Jeremy back then, and she designed the building for him out of love.
Sophia blinked. “Wow! That’s so romantic! Do you have a lover?”
Corinne pursed her lips slightly. “I used to.”
As soon as Sophia heard that, she knew that the story did not have a happy ending. She was very considerate and did not ask
any further questions about it.
Jeremy narrowed his eyes. “So, you designed the building with love as an inspiration?”
“I did.” Corinne nodded. “Does that make you unhappy?”
Jeremy kept quiet for a while and shook his head slightly. “Not at all. Could you share your philosophy in more detail if you don’t
mind?”
“Sure.” Corinne was very talkative when talking about her specialization. She explained to him the entirety of the building, from
its exterior to its interior.
Jeremy listened very carefully and took a sip of water from time to time. Meanwhile, he continued to look at her with a hint of
danger in his eyes.
Corinne was a little tired after talking too much. When the food was served, she asked, “May I eat? I’m a little hungry right now,
but I’ll continue to explain it to you once I’m full.”
Jeremy nodded. “Go ahead.”
Corinne picked up her cutlery and took some food for herself. She was really hungry, but she could not choose her favorite
dishes and could only take the ones she ordered—those were some of her least favorite foods.
The rest of the food Jeremy ordered coincidentally happened to be her favorite food, but she recalled Jeremy tended to dislike
sweet things. She did not think much about them and thought he ordered them because Sophia liked them.
