The Day I Kissed An Older Man novel Chapter 1196

Corinne knew Sophia was deliberately making things difficult for her. Luckily, Jeremy was not going to be there that day, and everything would be fine as long as he did not show up.

Corinne looked silently at Sophia. "So, you'll let me go after I take my mask off? Why do you have to look at my face? It's very disrespectful of you to accuse me of stealing just because I'm fat. Call the police then. If the police arrive and request that I take off my mask and hat, I assure you that I'll cooperate with the investigation."

After careful consideration, Corinne concluded that Sophia would not call the police. Even if Sophia was sure that Corinne had stolen something, there was a high chance Sophia would refrain from making a police report. After all, losing a small item had far fewer repercussions than if news got out that a police investigation had commenced on the day of the building's official launch. A big fuss would ensue, and Holden Group would suffer a huge drop in reputation.

Corinne's guess was spot on—Sophia did not want to call the police at all. She just wanted to see Corinne's face due to her suspicious demeanor.

As Sophia was thinking about how to deal with her, the nearby elevator door opened. A tall, handsome man walked out.

Sophia's eyes lit up at once. "Jeremy! You're here! I thought you said you were busy?"

He responded curtly, "It's settled now. Why are you here, though?"

Sophia smiled and said, "I wanted to check your office to see if there's anything I can help tidy up. I didn't expect to see someone sneaking in and out of your office! She's being very suspicious. I asked her to take off her hat and mask, but she refused to do so."

Jeremy finally noticed that the woman was dressed in a loose coat, a peaked cap, and a black mask. 'I don't know her. Did she enter my office?' Jeremy frowned a little and he had a wary expression. "Who are you?"
