The Day I Kissed An Older Man novel Chapter 1184

Corinne leaned back against the sofa and answered absent-mindedly, "It's nothing."

"Is it prenatal depression? Shall I get a doctor to check up on you?" asked Jason worriedly.

Corinne shook her head.

"Don't worry. I've always been cautious, so I promise you the Holdens will never find you here. Don't keep it to yourself if you feel any discomfort," assured Jason gently.

Corinne looked up at him and said a little sheepishly, "I'm fine. Thank you, Mister Jason, for all you've done for me. I really don't want to trouble you with any more stuff."

Jason pretended to be angry. "You should drop the 'Mister' in front of my name if you really want to thank me!"

Corinne knew Jason had feelings for her. Thus, she had been sure to keep her boundaries, whether through words or actions, so he would not get any wrong idea.

However, this was not the first time Jason expressed his dissatisfaction at being called 'Mister Jason'. He wanted her to simply call him 'Jason'.

To show her gratitude, Corinne broke her own rule and said, "Thanks, Jason."

Jason grinned happily. "That's more like it. Now, would you tell me what's bothering you now? I'm already in the deep with you, so I might as well help you till the end. I know you don't want to owe me, but you sort of already do."

It was true Corinne did not want to trouble Jason, but another reason she was reluctant to tell him was because she did not think he could help her in that matter. However, she had gotten to know him better in the past six months, so she did not quite mind sharing her problem with him.

Thus, she said, "I'm being required to attend the ribbon-cutting ceremony of the new building of Holden Group, which I obviously can't go."

Jason was shocked. "Holden Group invited you to the ribbon-cutting ceremony? Does that mean Jeremy knows you're here?"
