The Day I Kissed An Older Man

Chapter 707
Instead of turning his attention to Lucas, Cedric simply smiled and asked Corinne, “Corinne, how old are you?”
Corinne took a sip of tea before answering, “I’ll be twenty this year.”
“Twenty? Why, that’s perfect!” Cedric nodded satisfactorily before his expression became solemn. “If I guess correctly, you’re
probably still single, right? Well, it’s a good thing I know an excellent guy who’s still single too. Do you want me to introduce him
to you?”
Corinne smiled and said, “1...”
“There’s no need to be shy, child! It’s best for a woman to get hitched as soon as possible’ cause otherwise all the good men will
be taken and all that’s left will be crooks and sc*ms!” added Cedric.
Jeremy frowned when he heard this. He took a sip of tea before sneaking a peek at Corinne.
The corner of Corinne’s mouth started twitching. She never expected the reason Cedric asked her to stay was so he could set
her up with a guy. Cedric seemed to be on a roll as he started selling the good points of the guy he wanted to introduce to
Corinne.
“Corinne, you’re my savior so I’ll never introduce any guy who I don’t think is worthy enough for you. It just so happens an old
professor friend of mine has a grandson who’s a professional singer with his own albums! Meaning to say he’s one of those idols
who’s worshiped by young women like you. He’s not only good-looking but he can sing and dance as well! Not to mention he
came from a really good family. I know all this because I watched him grow up. He’s definitely a good man who you can spend
the rest of your life with.”
Corinne was about to turn down the offer when Cedric suddenly burst forth with the guy’s name. “He’s called Eddy Wilde. I must
say he’s quite popular. You can look him up online if you don’t believe me. There are loads of his photos and videos online. One
look at them and you’ll know I wasn’t lying when I said he’s very good-looking.”
Corinne initially felt resistance to the idea of Cedric wanting to set her up but her eyes immediately lit up when she heard the
name. “Are you talking about the Eddy Wilde? The lead singer of the band The Heartthrobs?” she asked in astonishment.
Cedric nodded. “Yes, that’s the name of the band he’s in! So you heard of him too?”

Of course Corinne heard of him. She only ever worshiped two celebrities in her life, one being Ghostlord, who she admired for
his hacking skills and the other being Eddy, whose songs had gotten her through the dark and lonely days of her teenage years.
“Mister Cedric, can you really get me a meeting with Eddy?” Corinne asked excitedly.
“Of course! Didn’t I already say I want to introduce him to you? What do you say?”
However, before Corinne could say anything, they all heard a cold and deep cough coming from next to her. Jeremy was clearing
his throat and the cold aura he was emitting could be felt from every corner of the living room.
It was only then Corinne remembered Jeremy was in the room as well. She glanced at him and saw he was not looking too well.
Jeremy was sipping on his tea and looking at her threateningly as if daring her to say yes to Cedric’s offer.
‘If I guess correctly, Mister is probably angry,’ thought Corinne with a pout. She then turned back to Cedric and said, “Thank you
for the kind offer, Mister Cedric, but I already have a boyfriend.”
Cedric looked at her in disbelief. “What? You already have a boyfriend? Tell me who it is this instant! I want to see if that guy is
worthy of you!”
