The Day I Kissed An Older Man

Chapter 459
Lucas was right, but Jeremy was still calm.
“We didn’t get registered in time, but we had a wedding. It’s an actual marriage in the eyes of the law. Lucas, I understand that
you’re worried about your sister. I will use the rest of my life to compensate your sister for what she lost for me. However, the
only thing I can’t give her is marriage and your so-called happiness. I’m sorry.”
Having said that, Jeremy raised his wrist and glanced at this watch. “I’m done with my lunch. I have a meeting later in the
afternoon, so I’ll first be taking my leave.”
He stood up, turned around, and left, leaving no room for
argument.
Seeing how unwaveringly cold he was, Lucas could not hold himself back anymore. He stood up angrily and said, “Jeremy! Do
you even have a conscience?”
At that time, Anya happened to return with the cake. She saw that Jeremy was about to leave and her brother was angry, but she
had no idea what happened. Looking confused, she asked, ” What’s the matter? Where are you going, Jeremy? I’ve brought the
cake. Let’s try it together!”
“No need. I have something to take care of.” Jeremy waved calmly before putting his hand in his pocket. He walked past Anya
without any expression on his face and left with big strides.
“Jeremy!” Anya called out, feeling reluctant to see him leave. However, Jeremy did not look back or stop in his tracks at all
because of that.
In the end, she could only watch his back with great disappointment as he walked out of the restaurant. Then, she angrily turned
her face and looked at her brother with some resentment in her eyes. “Lucas, what exactly did you say to Jeremy? Why did he
leave?”
Lucas stopped frowning and suppressed the anger he felt toward Jeremy. Because he was worried he would scare his sister, he
calmed down as soon as possible and said gently, “It’s nothing. Jeremy left because he has an urgent matter to attend to at his
company. Anya, come and have a seat. Try the cake with me!”

How could he have the heart to tell his sister that the man she loved deeply was not willing to marry her at all?
After the man she loved left, Anya became dispirited. She sat down looking dejected. Even her favorite cake tasted like nothing
in her mouth.
Suddenly, she recalled something important. She turned to look at her brother and asked while pretending to be casual about it,
“Oh yes, Lucas! Why was Corinne in your office today? She was even hiding behind your bookshelf. She looked like she was up
to something fishy no matter how I saw it! I saw that she didn’t want to be found, so I just pretended that there was a cat there!”
Lucas did not plan to hide the matter about Corinne from his sister. While having his food, he said calmly, “She came to my
company to apply to be my secretary today.”
Anya was taken aback. Her doe-like eyes widened because of how surprised she was. “What? Corinne applied to be your
secretary. Did you hire her?”
Just as Lucas was about to answer her, his phone rang. It was Edmund who called.
Looking at the caller ID, Lucas squinted knowingly. He guessed that the client from Abura completely rejected the collaboration
and boarded the plane home.
Abura was a country with the most mineral resources. Losing such a major collaboration would not bring any harm to the
company, but it was more or less still a pity.
Lucas frowned and answered the call. Before he even had the time to say hello, Edmund could not hold back his excitement and
said, “It’s done, sir! Corinne and the client from Abura have reached a deal. They will go to the company tomorrow morning to
sign the contract for collaborating with you for the next ten years!”
