The Day I Kissed An Older Man novel Chapter 1099

Jeremy gave Jason a small smile. "I heard from Tommy that you've been taking care of my wife. Should I hold a banquet to thank you then, Jason?"

Corinne could feel the tension in the air between the two men. She would not even be surprised if thunder and lightning suddenly appeared in the room.

However, it was obvious Jason did not want to have a direct confrontation since he smiled and said, "I'm doing what any friend would've done, so don't worry about it. I guess I should take my leave and head to breakfast alone now that you're here, Jeremy. Well, bye!"

After that, he chuckled self-deprecatingly and gave them a wave before leaving the room. No one saw just how empty and hollow his eyes looked the moment he walked out. To his credit, he made sure to shut the door after him.

Jeremy's brow was slightly relaxed after that. He looked at Corinne, whose face was still covered with her hands, and laughed out loud.

"You can put your hands down now. They're all gone."

Corinne kept her hands up. She wished she could crawl into a hole and die at that moment. 'It's fine if he doesn't find it embarrassing, but how could he drag me into it too? He really shouldn't implied we had s*x last night. Ugh!'

Seeing she was standing stock still, Jeremy reached out to pry her hands away. "Why are you covering your face like that? What do you think you are? An ostrich? You know I can still see you, right?"

Corinne frowned. "It's all your fault! Why did you have to tell them about our private business? Do you really want an image of us having s*x going through their minds?"

Jeremy smiled and pinched her chin. "Yes, that's exactly what I want! That way, they'll know to stay away from you. I want them to get it through their heads that you're mine and mine alone."

Corinne's lips twitched. "Mister, do you think it makes you look sexy to act like this?"

Jeremy raised his eyebrow. "I don't think. I know I am."

Corinne was speechless. 'Well, I can't fault his logic.'
