The Day I Kissed An Older Man

Corinne panicked and tried to stop Jeremy’s bleeding by pressing one hand onto his gaping hole while she called the emergency
hotline with the other hand. However, her hand was shaking so much that she kept pressing on the wrong number.
Jeremy’s face became paler as he lost more blood, but that did not stop him from feebly smiling and saying weakly, “Little rascal,
can you forgive me now?”
Corinne nodded rapidly as tears streamed down her face. “Please don’t die...”
Jeremy’s eyes gradually lost focus before he closed them for the last time.
“No!” screamed Corinne, waking up in shock.
“Miss Corinne, are you okay?”
Corinne opened her eyes and saw the maid looking worriedly at her
“Miss Corinne, you’re sweating a lot. Are you unwell? Shall I call for the doctor?”
Corinne shook her head and shakily replied, “I’m fine.”
The maid passed her some tissue to wipe away her sweat before pouring a glass of water for her.
Corinne was still slightly breathing hard while the pain in her chest never subsided. The dream was so real that she could not
shake off the feeling, even though she kept telling herself it was just a dream. She just wanted him to stay away from her, not
die!
‘Ugh, this is so suffocating. But why would I dream about something like this?’ wondered Corinne.
She took the glass of warm water from the maid’s hand and drank it before letting out a long sigh of relief.
At that moment, Sunny came back looking sad.
‘Huh? Have I slept that long?’ thought Corinne.
Corinne took another sip of water before asking Sunny, “How did it go? Did you manage to make Xante fall head over heels with
you?”
Sunny ignored her and strode up the stairs forlornly.

Not only did Xante not fall head over heels with him, but she completely ignored him! She would not even go to lunch with him!
‘Do I really look ridiculous dressed like this? Sh*t! Women are so hard to please!’ thought Sunny.
Corinne raised an eyebrow as she watched Sunny go up the stairs like a sad puppy. She was not surprised at the outcome at all.
She knew Xante hated pretentious people the most, so it was not surprising she would ignore Sunny.
Corinne checked her phone again. There were no more messages from Jeremy. ‘Huh... This is rare,’ she thought. However, she
could not help but feel anxious at the same time. ‘No, I shouldn’t overthink things.’
After all, no one in the world would dare to cross Jeremy. Doing so was as good as courting death.
Corinne rewatched some of her favorite series to stop herself from overthinking after she had her lunch, which had been
specially prepared by the nutritionist Lucas hired for her.
When evening came, Lucas walked in with Edmund, who was carrying two bags full of groceries in his hands.
Lucas walked over to her and stroked her hair. “Corinne, I’m back. I’ve bought all the ingredients for the barbeque you’ve been
craving for. It’ll be ready soon.”
“Oh, thanks,” said Corinne absent-mindedly.
Lucas sat gracefully beside her after one of the servants helped him out of his jacket.
“I’ve also brought you something you’ve been wishing for!”
