The Day I Kissed An Older Man

“Doesn’t this mean you’re being cheated on if you’re really Miss Xante’s boyfriend?” asked Annie in mock pity.
Sunny did not care whether he was being cheated on or not. All he felt at that moment was raging jealousy. He ignored Annie
and rushed out of the car.
Seeing this, the driver shouted, “Mister Sunny, why did you leave the car?! You’re supposed to go to school!”
Skipping school was the least of Sunny’s worries at that moment. After all, he was going to lose Xante if he did not chase off the
other man right then.
He quickly strode toward Xante and pushed the man away. “Who is he? What were you guys doing just now?”
Xante was somewhat shocked by his sudden arrival, but her expression morphed into one of annoyance. “What are you doing
here?”
“Just what were you going to do with this guy if I hadn’t come?” demanded Sunny.
Xante pushed up her gold-rimmed glasses. Her expression told them she felt both resigned and annoyed.
The man whom Sunny pushed away decided to let him off the hook when he saw how young he was. Trying to understand the
situation, he turned to Xante and asked her gently, “Xante, who’s this young man?”
Xante smiled apologetically. “Sorry, he’s my friend’s younger brother. Maybe he needs my help with something, so I don’t think I
can go out with you today. Let’s hang out another day, though.”
The man gave her an understanding smile. “Sure. I’ll be waiting for your phone call, then.”
Xante nodded and waved goodbye to him.
The man looked deeply at Xante before scanning Sunny from head to toe. He seemed like he knew what Sunny was thinking
about, but he decided he was not worth his time. Thus, he left graciously after that.
Sunny gritted his teeth as he watched the man leave. He then turned and asked Xante angrily, “You’re going to hang out with him
another day? Just what are you planning to do with him?”
Xante gave him a side-eye. “What? Can’t I have a meal with a friend?”

“Friend? Would you kiss and hug someone you call a friend?” asked Sunny with a hardened expression. He looked like he was
preparing to go to war.
Xante glanced at him with annoyance. “That’s just how I greet some of my friends.”
Sunny crossed his arms and said stubbornly, “Oh, so you’re trying to be one of those pretentious women now? I forbid you from
seeing that man ever again! It’s so obvious that he has the hots for you.”
Xante did not like Sunny trying to control her. To her, it only served to highlight his immaturity and unreasonableness. “So what if
he has the hots for me? I might just accept him if he treats me well.”
Sunny immediately exploded with anger when he heard that. “Are you saying you want to cheat on me?! Xante, how can you
think about getting on with another man when you already have me? Why don’t you just kill me instead?”
Xante was starting to lose her patience. She still had a meeting to go to, so she did not want to waste her time arguing with
someone as immature as Sunny about something so trivial.
Thus, she turned toward the car he came in and said, “Well, aren’t you going to come down? Or are you just going to let Mister
Sunny behave inappropriately in public? Should I call his brother to come pick him up instead?”
The driver quickly got out of the car with embarrassment. “Let’s go, Mister Sunny. You’re going to be late for school if we don’t go
now!”
Sunny refused to leave, so the driver had no choice but to forcefully drag him into the car.
Xante massaged her temples as she watched the car driving further and further away.
Annie walked toward her and said with a sigh, “Miss Xante, it looks like Sunny really likes you.”
Xante snapped back to the present and glanced at her. After that, she said nothing and instead went back into the company.
Annie followed her in, and the two of them took the elevator together.
