Chapter 1254
The Day I Kissed An Older Man
Corinneâs pregnancy made it rather difficult for her to stabilize her center of gravity when she moved
backward. Jason had to stretch out his arm to make sure she did not fall.
At the same time, they got physically closer. Their eyes were within inches of each other.
Corinne felt that it was inappropriate and immediately wanted to get up and walk away. However, Jason
held her tightly and said, âYouâre wrong, Corinne. You canât lump all men into the same category just
because youâve met one jerk. Iâm different from Jeremy. Iâll neverâ¦â
As Jason spoke, he leaned so close to Corinne that she could feel his breath on her lips.

Annie got home and got dressed before asking the driver to drive her to Newmoon Group. When she
arrived, she looked at the time and realized it was still too early for lunch. As she was about to go in
and wait for Marcus, she stopped while she was going up the stairs.
She knew she might run into Aaron in the company lobby if she waited for Marcus inside, so she finally
decided to wait in the cafe just opposite the company.
After ordering a cafe latte, Annie sent a message to Marcus telling him that she was waiting for him in
the opposite cafe. She then told him not to worry about her.
Her mind was blank, and she was staring out the window in a daze. However, a message soon
disrupted her mood.
The notification on her phone made her think that Marcus had replied to her message. Alas, all she
saw was a message from Aaron.
[Have you woken up yet? Iâll be heading back to send lunch to Corinne in a bit. Let me know what
youâre craving, and Iâll get some for you!]
His gentle message made her feel as though he was physically asking her that with a smile. It was
Aaronâs gentle temperament that attracted her from the beginning and made her weak in the knees.
Annie suddenly snapped back to her senses and shook her head vigorously. She reminded herself not
to think about other men because she was waiting for her boyfriend.
She replied, [Thanks, but you donât have to buy lunch for me!]
After a while, Aaron replied, [And leave you to go hungry? We wouldnât want you to have any hunger
pangs, would we?]
Annie frowned unhappily. [Thank you for your concern, but Iâm waiting for my boyfriend. Iâm getting
lunch with him. I wonât go hungry.]
A minute later, Aaron sent her a bland, smiling emoji. Annie did not understand what that expression
meant and did not think much about it.
All of a sudden, her boyfriend Marcus sent her a message to apologize to her. [Iâm sorry you had to
come all the way just for me to tell you this, but the company notified us that weâll be having an
emergency meeting, and lunch will be provided during the meeting too! How about you go home first?
Iâll come to you after I get off work.]
Marcusâs message reminded Annie of the smiling emoji Aaron sent her. âEmergency meeting? It canât
be a coincidence!â
She replied to Marcus, [Donât worry about it. Weâll set a time after work.]
Annie then opened her chat with Aaron and sent, [You did that, didnât you?]
Aaron sent another smiling emoji. [Did what?]
[Hold an emergency meeting and provide lunch to those who were asked to attend the meeting.]
[Yes! I just felt like treating my dear employees to lunch! What do you think? Iâm a good leader, arenât
I?]
Annie sent an angry emoji and said, [Youâve crossed the line! Are you glad that I came all the way here
for nothing?]
[Itâs not for nothing.]
[Who are you to tell me that my trip wasnât for nothing? Iâm already here! I hate you!] Annie typed
furiously on the virtual keyboard when she heard someone pull out a chair and sit opposite her.
