The Day I Kissed An Older Man

Corinne simply made noncommittal noises and continued to eat her breakfast.
Annie, who stayed overnight, was also having her breakfast with Corinne, Lucas, and Sunny.
Seeing Lucas caring so deeply about Corinne, Annie could not help but feel jealous on Jeremy’s behalf. She shot a warning
glare at him.
Lucas naturally felt the hostility aimed at him, but he did not care. He wiped his mouth with a napkin after finishing his breakfast.
He then stood up, said goodbye to Corinne, and left for work.
After he left, Annie could not help but ask, “Corinne, don’t you think Lucas seems to treat you better than he treats others?”
“Does he?”
Annie nodded rapidly. “Yeah. The way he looks at you is so much gentler than the way he looks at Sunny. I think he has a crush
on you, so it’s best not to stay here. You can stay with me if you don’t want to go back to stay with Uncle Jeremy.”
Corinne finished eating her breakfast by then. She stood up and patted Annie’s head. “Go home if you’ve finished your breakfast.
You don’t need to worry about me.”
Annie’s brow furrowed. “How can I not worry when so many men are trying to steal you from Uncle Jeremy? It was first Jason,
and now Lucas seems to have feelings for you too. Corinne, you’re too attractive for your own good.”
The corners of Corinne’s lips tightened. She turned toward Sunny, who was eating his sandwich, and said, “Ask the driver to
drop Annie off after he sends you to school.”
Sunny gave her an ‘okay’ sign.
After that, Corinne walked slowly toward the garden to sunbathe.
Failing to get any useful information from Corinne, Annie turned her attention toward Sunny.
“Tell me! Does Lucas have a crush on Corinne? Is that why he sweet-talked her into coming to stay here?”
Sunny rolled his eyes at her. “You must’ve watched too many dramas.”
Annie glared at him. “Then why is Lucas so good to Corinne? I’ve never seen him being so nice to any woman before!”

Sunny remembered Lucas’ warning to not reveal Corinne’s real identity to anyone.
“Must he have a crush on Corinne to be nice to her? Haven’t you ever heard of a platonic relationship? Take us for example. I
have no feelings toward you, but I’m nice to you.”
A look of disgust flashed across Annie’s face. “Well, I have no feelings toward you either! But I don’t see you as my friend nor do
I care about you!”
Sunny was too lazy to argue with her, so he simply said, “All you need to know is that Lucas doesn’t have a crush on Corinne.
Now, are you done eating? Come with me if you have. I need to do what Corinne asked me to do.”
Annie found this behavior weird too. “What? Did I hear wrongly? I thought you didn’t like Corinne. Didn’t you say she was a
manipulative b*tch who’d stop at nothing to steal Uncle Jeremy away from Anya? How come you’re suddenly willing to do her
bidding?”
A look of guilt flashed across Sunny’s face. “Ahem! I seemed to have misjudged her out of my own immaturity. But who hasn’t
done something stupid when they were young? I admit I misunderstood her in the past, but I’ve come to respect her after getting
to know her. I must say, you sure talk a lot of nonsense. Are you coming with me or not?”
Annie looked at the time. She really should get going since she had something to do. ‘Oh well, I can take my time interrogating
him since we’re taking the same car anyway.’
Thus, she stood up and followed Sunny out to the Riveras’ chauffeured car.
After they got on, Sunny ordered the driver to send Annie home after dropping him off at school, to which the driver replied, “Yes,
Mister Sunny!”
