The Day I Kissed An Older Man

Chapter 743
Nante glanced at Aaron coldly and said, “She’s scolding you! Don’t put me in the same. category as you!”
Corinne ignored them and looked at the time. She had another hour to go before the work day. ended, and she could probably
reach Holden Group just in time for Jeremy to clock off if she took a taxi right then.
She put down her coffee, got up from the office chair, and said, “Go back to your respective duties. I’ll be leaving.”
Aaron said reluctantly, “Where are you going? Aren’t you going to have dinner with us?”
“I’m heading to Holden Group to pick Jeremy up from work.” Corinne waved her hand without looking back and pushed open the
door of the president’s office.
Aaron looked at the door that had been closed shut and shook his head in amazement. “Tsk, tsk, tsk. She’s so madly in love with
him that it’s nauseating!”
Xante snapped back to her senses and looked at him in disgust. “Go back to your office and stay jealous here!”
Corinne went to a cafe directly opposite the Holden Group’s building, took a seat at a table by the window, and ordered a cup of
coffee.
Her table had a good view of the building’s main entrance, and she could see Jeremy getting off work for the first time. She went
there without informing Jeremy in advance because she wanted to surprise him, and also wanted to see how he would react
when he suddenly saw her coming to fetch him from work.
‘What sort of expression will that suavely dressed, stern–faced man have when he sees her all of a sudden? Must be a pretty
amusing one!‘ Corinne unconsciously had an excited smile on her lips when she thought of that.
All of a sudden, someone patted her on the shoulder from behind.
‘Who is it?‘ Corinne snapped back to her senses, looked up vigilantly, and saw a familiar face.
The panting Annie sat opposite her; she seemed to be gasping for breath. She grabbed the coffee from Corinne’s hand and
drank a few sips before saying, “I nearly died of exhaustion to try and catch up to you, Corinne!”

Corinne raised her eyebrows in confusion and looked at how out of breath Annie was. “You were catching up to me? When did
you start to chase me?”
Annie calmed her breathing and said, “I... I chased you from Newmoon Group, but my car suddenly broke down halfway. I
couldn’t get a taxi, so I... I ran all the way here!”
Corinne narrowed her eyes. When she saw how profusely Annie was sweating, she raised her hand to the waiter in the cafe and
said, “Can you bring a glass of iced water for her, please? Thanks.”
“One iced water coming up.”
When the waiter brought the iced water over, Corinne looked intently at Annie and questioned her, “Your car broke down and you
couldn’t get a taxi, but I was in a taxi. You shouldn’t have
been able to keep track of where I went. How did you end up coming here?”
“Uh... I... I...” Annie had a guilty conscience and sipped her water to ease her embarrassment.
Corinne looked at her apprehensively. “You weren’t planning to catch up to me at all, were you? I bet you were secretly following
me.”
Annie remained in deep thought for some time but was unable to think of a suitable excuse. In a moment of anxiousness, she
blurted out the truth. “Okay! I admit it. I wanted to follow you! I lost track of where you were headed after my car broke down, but
since I wasn’t too far away from Holden Group, I decided to look for my uncle. I then happened to see you sitting in the cafe, so I
decided to come in and meet you!
