The Day I Kissed An Older Man

“Look, I’m happy that you’ve come to visit me, but I don’t want to talk about this with you,” said Corinne lacklusterly.
Jason smiled. “I just want to ask what’s going to happen to me if you’ve decided to get back with Jeremy?”
Corinne looked at him sincerely. “Jason, I see you as my friend only. We’ll always be friends.”
Jason’s expression faltered, and it was not long until a sad smile appeared on his face. “Always, huh? You really know how to
turn a man down, Corinne.”
“I don’t want to lead you on when I have no feelings toward you. That’s what a sc*mbag would do, and I’m not a sc*mbag,” said
Corinne.
She yawned lazily and stood up. “Please enjoy your meal, y’all. I’m going to shower and head to bed now.”
Annie stood up as well. “Corinne, let me help you up to your room!”
Corinne did not turn down her help, and the two of them went up the stairs together.
Jason looked so forlorn that his gaze became slightly unfocused. After a long while, he narrowed his eyes and picked up
Corinne’s glass, wanting to drink from it.
However, Aaron grabbed the glass of water before Jason could do that.
Aaron smiled politely at him and said, “Mister Jason, I’m afraid I can’t let you drink this water since the boss has drank from it.”
Jason smiled. “I don’t mind at all.”
“But the boss does,” replied Aaron with the same polite smile on his face.
Jason looked at him with hostility before raising an eyebrow. “Aren’t you worried I’ll be your boss’ husband one day and make
you pay for the disrespect you’ve shown me now?”
Aaron never let go of the glass. “That’s something for future-me to worry about. What I’m sure of right now is you’re not her
husband.”
Jason knew it was pointless to argue, so he let go of the glass. “Well folks, please continue eating. I have to attend to something
urgent.”

He stood up gracefully as though what happened did not affect him, and he walked out of the living room. On the way, he waved
goodbye to Lucas, who sat at the rattan chair by the floor-to-ceiling window.
“Bye, Lucas. Catch up with you when we’re both free.”
Lucas nodded. “Sure. I won’t see you off, then.”
Jason smiled and waved once more before shoving his hands gracefully into his pants pockets. He then walked out of the
mansion.
Unlike Jeremy, Jason could come and go to the mansion as he pleased. However, he did not get what he wanted. ‘Well, at least I
got to personally see that Corinne is okay.’
As for who Corinne would ultimately choose in the end... It was still too early to tell.
Meanwhile, in Corinne’s old room upstairs...
Corinne was washing up in the bathroom, leaving Annie to look around in the room.
Corinne then came out of the bathroom dressed in her pajamas, ready to go to bed. When she saw Annie still in her room, she
raised an eyebrow and asked, “Why are you still here? You should go home by now.”
Annie did not answer her. Instead, she asked, “Corinne, why are you staying with the Riveras? This room doesn’t look like a
guest room or an adult’s room. It looks like a little girl’s room. Why did they give you this room?”
Corinne did not want to answer her. It would be best if fewer people knew about her true identity.
She threw off her blanket and got into the bed. “I want to sleep now. Go back downstairs and ask Aaron to give you a ride home.”
