The Day I Kissed An Older Man

Chapter 742
Aaron shrugged his shoulders. “I’m just curious to know how you took him down.”
Corinne was speechless.
Xante came over with a cup of coffee and kicked Aaron. “Buzz off! Can’t you see that she’s going over some work–related
documents? Why are you bringing up such pointless things?”
Aaron patted the side of his trousers that had been kicked, seemingly disgusted by the dirt on the soles of Xante’s high heels.
Xante placed the coffee cup on the desk and pushed it to Corinne’s hand. “Did you really reconcile with Mister Jeremy last
night?”
Corinne kept quiet.
Aaron rolled his eyes. “Tch! You’ve got some nerve to ask that question after you kicked me for doing the same thing! Aren’t you
just as curious as I am?”
Corinne did not entertain their gossip and turned to the last page of the financial statement in her hand. “Not bad! The financial
report for the second half of the year has improved a lot compared to the first half of the year. You’ve both worked very hard. We
still need to expand on the real estate development projects in the south, since we’re still far behind some of the more
experienced real estate groups.”
Xante has always been very focused and dedicated when it came to work. She nodded after hearing that and said,
“Understood!”
Corinne closed the folder and took a sip of coffee.
Xante suddenly remembered something and reported to her, “By the way, boss, the Holden. Group’s previous design
commission for their new office building has been completed. They’re very satisfied with the final version of the design you
provided, and we’ll be in charge of the tower’s construction project, too.”
Corinne sipped her coffee pensively. After a moment, she said, “I’ll handle the construction. project and keep tabs on it.”
Xante was a little surprised and adjusted the gold–rimmed spectacles on her face. “Are you sure you want to scrutinize the
construction project in person? You’ll be exposed to the elements at the construction site, not to mention the possible dangers of

falling objects. You’re pregnant now, so-‘
Corinne narrowed her eyes sternly. “I know what I’m doing. Nothing’s going to happen.”
Xante wanted to persuade her not to overexert herself while pregnant, but Aaron nudged her arm before she could say anything.
“Can’t you see, Xante? Holden Group used to be just a client, but Jeremy is her man now. She’ll only feel at ease if she
supervises the project in person!”
Corinne was speechless. Aaron’s words were very obnoxious at times.
Xante finally understood what was happening, but she still expressed her concern. “I can send our people to keep a close watch
on the progress so you don’t need to put yourself at any risk.”
Corinne remained steadfast in her decision and waved her hand slightly. “There’s no need for that. I’ll supervise it myself.”
She had done the same for the Crescent Tower.
Although she could easily entrust the project to one of the subsidiary construction companies, such a large project required so
much of material and manpower that it would be inevitable for the other company to cut corners.
Should everything go well, Holden Group’s new office building would be the place where Jeremy would work for the next few
decades. During that period, no one could guarantee that New Capital City would be free of any natural or man–made disasters.
She wanted his long–term workplace to be safe without any hidden dangers. She would thus feel more reassured if she
personally saw the project through to completion.
Aaron suddenly leaned over, put his arms on the desk, and looked up at her while pretending to be jealous. “Seeing you doting
on Mister Jeremy so much makes me jealous, boss!”
Corinne came back to her senses, raised the folder in her hand, and patted Aaron’s head. ” Can’t you be a little less shameless?
You’re becoming more unruly recently! You’re not young anymore, so you should learn to grow up! And touch some grass if you
have time to spare!”
Xante sneered and said gloatingly, “Yeah!”

Aaron rubbed his forehead. “Bold of you to chastise me, Xante. You and I are the same, and you’re not that good a person
either!
