The Day I Kissed An Older Man

Aaron shook his head. “Nothing. I’ll call the shots if you don’t know what to eat. After that, we can think about what to bring back
for the boss.”
Annie was fine with that. She nodded listlessly and said, “Fine. Whatever.”
Aaron glanced at her. “What’s the matter? Are you so disappointed you can’t have lunch with your boyfriend?”
Annie rolled her eyes. “Would you cancel the company meeting so he can accompany me to lunch if I say yes?”
“Nope,” said Aaron with a grin.
“Then what’s the point of asking?” replied Annie with a glare.
“I just want to give myself the chance to have some alone time with you.”
Annie was speechless. She finally decided to stop being a foolish romantic, yet he was undoing all of her efforts.
“Ahem! I’ll call Corinne to ask her what she’d like to eat.”
Feeling embarrassed, Annie did not know what to say, so she took out her phone to call Corinne. No one picked up.
“This is weird. Why didn’t Corinne pick up the phone?”
“Maybe she didn’t hear the phone ringing,” replied Aaron.
Sighing, Annie put away her phone.
Even if they were going to have lunch, it was still very early. Alas, she would need to be alone with Aaron for a few minutes, and
the thought of that gave Annie a headache.
...
Meanwhile, Corinne accidentally knocked over the bowl when she pushed Jason away, causing the content to spill over the two
of them.
Jason looked down at his clothes. “Uh-oh. What a waste!”

Corinne’s clothes were dirtied as well. She rolled her eyes angrily at him and said, “This is all your fault! You should’ve behaved
yourself.”
Jason shrugged and smiled. “Then what do we do now? I have a meeting to go to later. I don’t think I can make it in time if I go
home to change now.”
Corinne looked at him with annoyance, wondering how he could still be so nonchalant. “Wait here. I’ll see if Aaron has any
clothes you can borrow.”
“Okay,” said Aaron with a nod.
Both Aaron and Jason shared a similar physique, so they could probably wear the same clothes.
Corinne found a more casual-style suit in Aaron’s closet and gave it to Jason.
Jason said that some of the food had gotten into his clothes too, so he would like to take a shower in Aaron’s bathroom.
Since it was not her bathroom, Corinne did not turn him down.
After that, she went back to her room to shower before changing into clean clothes.
While she was digging through her closet for some clothes, she heard the doorbell ring. ‘Who’s that?’ she thought. ‘Sh*t! I
haven’t been living here for the past six months, so all my clothes don’t fit my pregnant body!’
The doorbell kept ringing, so Corinne had no choice but to throw on a bathrobe and rush over to open the door.
