The Day I Kissed An Older Man

Chapter 876
Francine skipped her lunch just so she could redo the questions. After painstakingly going through the questions again, she
passed the book to Corinne.
“Here. All done.”
Corinne took a look at it and chuckled softly. “Not bad. You’ve got ten questions right. Quite an improvement.’’
Francine felt a little humiliated. ’I only got ten questions right after listening to the lesson for an hour?’
“I’m hungry! I’m going to have my lunch now.” She could not stand to be humiliated by the one person she looked down at the
most, so she chose to run away.
“Wait,” ordered Corinne softly.
Francine stopped in her tracks and turned back to glare at her. “What? I can’t even have my lunch? Do you want me to starve to
death?”
Corinne put down the practice book, stood up, and put on her jacket. “I’m hungry too, so let’s go out and eat together.”
Francine was a little surprised. ’She’s inviting me out to lunch? Is this another one of her tricks?’
“Heh! I wouldn’t be caught dead with you out in public. Don’t you know how embarrassing that is?”
Instead of being angry, Corinne straightened out her jacket and said, “What if we drop by the Hermes store on the way to get you
a bag?”
Francine’s eyes widened like saucers, and she could have sworn she heard wrong. “What did you say?”
Corinne raised her eyebrow. “You don’t want to?”
Francine had no idea what Corinne was up to. I want to, but I didn’t get half of the questions right...”
“You get ten Hermes bags if you get half of the questions right, so going in that vein, you get one Hermes bag when you get ten
questions right.”
Francine’s eyes immediately lit up. “You... You’re not lying to me, right?”

Corinne took out a gold card and held it between her two fingers. “Does it look like I’m lying? So what do you say?”
“Let’s go, then!” Francine swiftly declared. ’But just give me a moment to change!”
She thus ran into her room to change into something better.
Corinne yawned lazily as she watched Francine excitedly run back to her room. ‘Sometimes, I really envy girls who get their
happiness from bags. After all, their dreams only required some hard-earned money...’
She never had any interest in material stuff. What she wanted to achieve was something intangible...something that was difficult
to put into words but would give her immeasurable peace and spiritual fulfillment once she obtained it.
Bowen was both surprised and happy that the two girls, who did not get along with each other, were going out to eat together. He
quickly arranged for the family’s driver to drive them to the mall.
During the car ride, Francine hummed happily as she checked out the latest Hermes bag on her phone while Corinne looked out
at the window, lost in her thoughts.
Suddenly, Francine showed Corinne her phone. “Corinne, which of these two colors looks better?”
Corinne took a glance and said, “The one on the right.”
Francine thought so, too. “Hey, you got quite a good taste for a country bumpkin.”
Francine had been calling Corinne a country bumpkin since she married into the family, so instead of getting angry, she simply
ignored her. That was how desensitized she was to the insult.
