Semua Bab The Day I Kissed An Older Man: Bab 1121 - Bab 1130

"You're right, Mister Aaron. My uncle would do what you said, but I don't want to live under his protection forever. I want to learn how to be independent," explained Annie.Aaron was quite impressed by her attitude. "Huh, not bad. Was your colleague flirting with you just now?"The sudden change of topic shocked Annie. "No. He was asking me for help with his document. His stapler was broken, you see."Aaron obviously did not believe her. "He's quite the catch. He graduated from a famous university. Good-looking. Tall. You can consider him since our company has no policy against office romance."Annie's gaze wavered for a second before her eyebrows furrowed as she frowned. She felt unbelievably humiliated, but she did not blow up at Aaron. She simply nodded and said, "Okay. I'll consider him if he shows signs of being interested in me. Thank you for your concern, Mister Aaron."After a moment of awkward silence, Aaron smiled and said, "Well, time for you to get back to work now. I

Aaron put his hands up. "Okay, okay. I won't touch her again. Plus, only you would like a workaholic like her."Sunny's expression hardened. He did not like anyone talking bad about his woman.Xante took off her glasses and pinched the bridge of her nose. "You should leave if there's nothing else. I'll drop by your office later," she said to Aaron.Aaron shrugged. "Okay, fine. I won't bother you two anymore. I'll call the boss now.""Don't tell her anything about this, okay?" warned Xante.Aaron simply gave her an 'okay' gesture. He understood why she would not want Corinne to find out since there was a high chance Corinne would be angry at Xante for taking away her stepbrother's innocence.After Aaron went out, Xante put her glasses back on and glanced coldly at Sunny. "Are you done playing? You should head home to study if you are.""I've already finished studying for the day!" said Sunny defensively."Then go do something else someone your age would do! You being here would

'Is this kid stupid or something?' Xante wondered."I don't want to hang out!" she grumbled."I don't believe you! You obviously care about me. You wouldn't have given me the blanket otherwise."Xante was speechless. She felt like she was talking to a wall. Thus, she ignored Sunny and went to Aaron's office instead.Annie was nowhere to be seen when Xante arrived outside of Aaron's office, which she found to be very strange.Before she went in, she said sternly to Sunny, "Wait outside! Don't follow me in!""Why can't I go in with you? Why are you looking for Aaron again?" he asked unhappily."If you haven't noticed, this is a company, and I'm working! Aaron is my business partner and colleague. You, a non-employee, have no right to be there for our business discussion."Sunny scoffed haughtily. "Fine. I won't bother you working. I'll wait outside."Xante rolled her eyes at him before knocking on the door and entering Aaron's office.Sunny anxiously and obediently waited for h

Annie nearly choked on the coffee she was drinking. "Cough, cough! Are you saying your girlfriend is Miss Xante?"Sunny nodded. "That's right."Annie's jaw nearly dropped to the ground. 'The two of them couldn't be any more different, so how did they end up together?'"Does that mean…you're going to be the trophy husband in the future?" muttered Annie."Oh my god, Annie. You should get your brain checked," said Sunny unhappily. "She's going to marry into my family, not the other way round. If anything, she's going to be the trophy wife."Annie took another sip of her coffee. "Is there a difference? But I must say, I'm impressed you've managed to snag Miss Xante. After all, she's a workaholic known to shun any advances from other men."Sunny's eyes lit up. "Really? Is that really true?"Annie nodded. "Yeah! There were a few good-looking project partners who tried to court Miss Xante, but she turned them all down in the end. They'd send her flowers and buy her bags, but she'd eith

"We want to see how Corinne and the baby are doing and to pass her some supplements too," replied Aaron."If that's the case, you don't need me to bring you, right? I mean, I'm sure the Holdens would welcome you if that's all you wanted to do," said Annie, confused.Aaron raised his eyebrow. "It's better if we bring you. What if they wouldn't let us in? It'll mean we went there for nothing."Annie thought the whole thing was rather weird, but what Aaron said made some sense as well. Thus, she nodded and said, "Okay. Shall we leave after work?""No. We can leave right now if it's okay with you.""Right now?" Annie blinked and checked the time on her phone. "Well, I am kind of free… Oh, alright. Let's go then."Annie picked up her bag and shoved her phone inside. She then put on her coat and followed Aaron and Xante to the elevator.On the way, Aaron saw from the corner of his eyes the same brand of coffee Annie was drinking moments before sitting on top of a male colleague's desk
