Semua Bab The Day I Kissed An Older Man: Bab 1041 - Bab 1050

"Ma'am, please stop trying to escape. Mister Cedric and Mister Maxwell will have our heads if we fail to take you to the summer villa again," said the servant.Phoebe pushed him away hysterically. "Move out of the way! Who do you think you all are? You have no right to tell me what to do!"The servants had been tricked once, so this time, they decided to use force to carry out their orders. Two of them restrained Phoebe while the rest packed up her stuff.Since Phoebe had only stayed in the building for less than a day, there was not much stuff to pack. The servants collected the bits and pieces lying around the apartment in preparation to leave.Before they left, the lead servant heard the sound of crying coming from the bedroom, so he had his subordinate check on it."It's Mister Joey. He seems to be hurt 'cause he's curled up on the floor crying."The lead servant walked into the room. Joey was indeed curled up on the floor, trembling and crying. He was really quite pitiful to

Corinne was not angry; she was just a little disappointed. "Did he say when he'll be back?"Annie shook her head. "Nope. He only told me to keep you company here until he comes back. And to make sure Francine doesn't do anything to make you angry.""Oh."At that moment, Francine's voice came from the door. "I'm not going to make her angry! I've accepted my fate and accepted her as my sister-in-law, okay?"Both Corinne and Annie looked toward the door. They saw Francine walking in huffily with her hands on her hips."Ugh. I can't believe Jeremy would rather entrust Corinne to you than me!"Annie rolled her eyes at her. "Well, it's not that surprising, considering how you treated Corinne in the past."Francine fell silent as the memories of all the mean things she did to Corinne rushed back into her mind. This filled her with shame.Seeing the two girls were about as compatible as oil and water, Corinne quickly interrupted, "Is there anything to eat? I'm starving.""Yes!" said b

"I told you I'm fine. Besides, why did you come alone? Where's Xante?" asked Corinne.Based on her understanding of her two childhood friends, they would never come alone in this kind of situation.Aaron smiled. "They went to get some food for you from your favorite tapas restaurant. There was a long line since the restaurant was so busy. I don't like lining up, so I came first."'They? Who's they?'"Who's Xante with?"Annie poured some water for Aaron. "Here you go, Mister Aaron. Please have some water.""Thanks, Annie." Aaron gracefully accepted the glass of water while answering, "Xante's with my girlfriend."'Girlfriend'. The word was like a stab in the heart for Annie. She looked at Aaron in disbelief, thinking she heard wrong.However, Aaron did not look at her. Instead, he looked at Corinne with a smile. "They should be here soon. Boss, my girlfriend is very nervous about meeting you, so please be kind to her, yeah? And please don't tell her any embarrassing stories abou

Annie was worried Francine would do something stupid if she got the wrong idea about Corinne and Aaron's relationship, so she quickly answered, "He's Mister Aaron, vice-president of Newmoon Group. He and Corinne are very good friends. They go way back."Francine frowned in confusion. "What? Corinne is friends with Newmoon Group's vice-president? I thought she came from the countryside. How could she know someone like that?"Annie rolled her eyes at her. "You're really as shallow as I thought you are. You shouldn't judge a person by their background, you know? So what if Corinne came from the countryside? Uncle Jeremy still fell madly in love with her, didn't he? It's not that surprising Corinne will have some impressive friends, right?"Francine felt conflicted. 'So Corinne already knew some impressive people before she even met Jeremy, yet she never once name-dropped them to impress me. Looks like I really should get to know her better…'"Well, he's certainly quite good-looking. W

Annie snapped out of her trance. "Yes, Corinne?""You can go back to work if you want. I'm perfectly okay right here, so you don't have to stay the whole day with me. Though, I won't mind you dropping in from time to time."Annie shook her head resolutely. "No. I've promised Uncle Jeremy I'll take care of you, so I cannot go back on my word."Corinne shook her head. "I'll explain everything to him. Plus, you don't have to listen to everything he says. That workaholic thinks only his work is important, while yours isn't. That's why he didn't think twice about asking you to take care of me. Don't pay him any mind."Annie did not mind taking care of Corinne. "It's okay, Corinne. I've already asked for some time off from work. Mister Aaron was actually the one who approved my leave and arranged for another colleague to take over my work for the time being."Hearing this, Corinne rolled her eyes at him. 'He approved of Annie's time off work, yet he told me he didn't know she'd be here.
