The Day I Kissed An Older Man novel Chapter 1189

'Heh! Sophia is something else, too! She knew I'm the boss' friend, yet she dared to tell me Mister Jeremy doesn't really talk about the boss much lately. She's obviously declaring doing this to let me know Mister Jeremy is hers alone,' thought Xante.

Xante went on to speculate that Sophia was hoping she would tell Corinne of their conversation today so she would know to back off. 'Haha! These two manipulative b*stard and b*tch are meant for each other.'

"What makes you think I'll tell you when Mister Jeremy obviously doesn't want to tell you? Miss Sophia, I'm honored that you'll ask us to join you for lunch, but please bear in mind we're not really close enough to talk about a lot of things," said Xante.

Instead of being offended, Sophia smiled at her. "Miss Xante, I was just curious. Why are you being so defensive? Could it be that you know where Miss Corinne is hiding now?"

Jeremy suddenly snapped his head up to look at Xante when he heard that.

Xante almost lost her cool. 'This woman isn't to be underestimated.'

She pushed up her gold-rimmed glasses out of habit and said, "I wish I knew where she is 'cause it's been quite a while since we last saw her. We're all really worried about her. I'm guessing she doesn't want to show herself 'cause there's someone she wishes very much to avoid, so we won't force her to do so."

Sophia pretended to be confused. "She wants to avoid seeing someone? Miss Xante, don't tell me you're referring to Jeremy. Why wouldn't Miss Corinne want to see him? From what I know, he's very good to her."

Xante smiled. "'Good' is a very subjective word in this case. Is sweet-talking to trap another person in a lie good? If you think that's good, Miss Sophia, you can keep him all to yourself! Corinne has no need for a good-for-nothing like him!"

Sophia frowned. "I was right! You must know why Miss Corinne left Jeremy. Otherwise, you wouldn't say something like that to defend her!" She turned toward Jeremy. "Did you hear that, Jeremy? Miss Xante seems to have it in for you. Miss Corinne must be complaining to her about you all the time."
