The Day I Kissed An Older Man

Corinne was walking down the last step and saw Jeremy too, but she quickly looked away.
“Help me thank him for the invitation, but I have something to do later, so I’m afraid I can’t join you guys,” said Corinne politely.
Annie was a little frustrated by the refusal. “Corinne, what’s the matter with you? Why won’t you at least come have lunch with
Uncle Jeremy?”
Corinne did not answer her question. She simply smiled and said, “Annie, remember I told you to treat me as a friend and not
your aunt?”
Annie refused. “But you’re still my aunt, right?”
“Annie, you should just do as she says,” said Jeremy coldly. He had his window rolled down again.
Annie had no choice but to listen since Jeremy had spoken. She pouted sadly and said, “Okay. Fine. But would you at least have
lunch with us? If not, I can get Uncle Jeremy to drop you off at the place you want to go.”
Corinne shook her head. “No, it’s fine.”
She walked around Annie with the intention to leave.
“Get in the car, Miss Corinne. We should finish what we started. It’s time we end things properly,” said Jeremy

‘He’s right. We should end things properly,’ thought Corinne. ‘Looks like he’s ready to move on from the relationship. Heh! I was
a fool to think he’d be hung up on me. Guess I went into hiding for six months for nothing.’
Corinne turned to look at him. “Fine by me.”
She then told Xante’s secretary to go back to work before she walked toward Jeremy’s car.
Being the thoughtful girl she was, Annie asked Marcus to get out of the backseat and go sit in the front passenger seat before
walking over to help Corinne into the car.
However, Corinne waved her hand and told Annie to get into the car first. Only three people could sit at the back, and since
Jeremy was already inside, whoever got in first would be stuck in the middle.

It was obvious why Corinne asked Annie to get in first, and Annie knew it too, so she had no choice but to do as she was told.
No one saw the slight changes in Jeremy’s expression.
After Corinne got into the car, she kept her eyes trained on the moving scenery outside. She only agreed to get into the car
because Annie and Marcus were with her too. She would not have gotten in if it was only Jeremy inside the car.
The air in the car was thick with tension. No one talked, not even the usually talkative Annie. It was so awkward sitting in the
middle that she did not know what to say, but then again, not talking seemed to make the air even more suffocating.
Thus, Annie squeezed out a smile and asked, “Corinne, where have you been all this time?”
“I went somewhere quiet to rest.”
“Did you go alone?”
