The Day I Kissed An Older Man

Chapter 444
After staring at each other for ten seconds, Corinne thought that she should eat the duck meat on her fork. After that, she wiped
her mouth and said, “Mister Talbot, thank you for giving me information about Nellie Nymphaea but I have yet to verify the
veracity of it. Therefore, I would need to look into it more as for the other matter. Well, let’s talk about it again sometime in the
future.”
‘She’s willing to talk about it?’ This was better than Jason expected. At least there was still some hope for him.
“Corinne, I’m not going to force you but I hope that I’ll be the first person that comes into your mind whenever you need someone
to help you.”
Corinne smiled. “I see that you’re as kind as ever, Kind Sir. I’ll be sure to keep that in mind.”
The reason she told Jason she would be willing to talk about the matter of their “relationship” sometime in the future was that she
knew that he would not stop talking her ears off if she rejected him directly now. She wanted to be spared from all that talking.
Jason looked at her hopefully. “Then do you mind if we exchange phone numbers with each other?”
After giving it some thought, Corinne took out her phone and passed it to him. Jason was a little taken aback but he immediately
understood what she wanted him to do. After taking her phone, he saved his number on it and then proceeded to call himself
with the same phone. Then, he took out his ringing phone and saved the number shown on the screen. Finally, he
gave
back the phone to Corinne.
“Thanks, Corinne. You can’t imagine how happy I am,” he said with a smile.
Corinne smiled too. “Well, you should eat more to celebrate. The food won’t be as nice once
it’s cold.”
“I’ll be even happier if you can call me Jason.”
“You got it, Kind Sir.”

Jason chuckled. He knew it would not be that easy for him to change her mind. He then dug in on the food on his plate and the
two of them changed the topic to something a little less
serious.
When they came out of the restaurant, the row of TVs displayed in the electronics store were playing breaking news that was set
in a loop.
[The heir to an international conglomerate and the second daughter of a business tycoon is set to marry each other. This would
be the business alliance of the century.]
Corinne quietly watched the same news being broadcasted on the row of TVs at the same time. The picture shown in the news
was a silhouette of a man and a woman. Even though there were no defining characteristics, nor did they mention the name of
the couple getting engaged, anyone who knew them would be able to tell who they were at a glance.

was shocked by the news as well. “I guess they
Corinne smiled mockingly and averted her eyes from the news. “Let’s call it a day. I’ll be making a move first. Goodbye, Kind Sir.”
Jason stopped her. “Corinne, wait. When can I see you again?”
“How about we leave that up to fate?” Corinne waved goodbye to him and walked away from him at a leisurely pace, leaving
Jason to stand where he was alone.
This time, he did not chase after her. He remained standing where he was as he watched her leave with a meaningful smile on
his lips.
Corinne went back to her place in Thalassa.
Aaron was lying on the sofa and playing a game on his phone. He threw his phone to the side when he saw her coming back.
“Boss, you’re back! How did it go? Did you get to see Michel?”

Corinne was exhausted. She collapsed on the sofa and answered, “No.”
“Then why did it take you so long to come back?” Aaron asked curiously.
