The Day I Kissed An Older Man novel Chapter 1207

"I know," said Xante with a sigh. "I didn't expect things to turn out this way either, but he wouldn't listen to me… Boss, I know he's your step-brother. But don't worry, I'll never hurt him. I won't contact him anymore once he gets sick of me."

Corinne pinched the bridge of her nose. This was even more headache-inducing than she thought.

"Are you stupid, Xante? You're the one I'm worried about, not him! He's young and comes from a rich family, so he'll never lack any woman in the future. I'm not worried about him getting hurt! I'm worried about you getting hurt!"

Xante smiled. "Oh, you're worrying for nothing, then. Do I really strike you as someone who'd take Mister Sunny seriously? I'll probably get tired of him before he does."

"I really hope that's the case for your sake," replied Corinne with a bitter smile.

Everyone would think they had everything under control whenever they started a new relationship, and that they would not be the ones getting hurt. However, it was always the one who fell later that got hurt the most while the one who fell first would fall out of love first.

Corinne had lost hope in all matters of romantic love after the ordeal she went through with Jeremy. Thus, she did not think Xante would be able to untangle herself from Sunny without getting hurt.

Xante was confident she would be able to move on from Sunny whenever she wanted, so she told herself to just enjoy the moment. What she was worried about was Corinne getting mad at her.

"By the way, Boss, why did you call me? Aren't you afraid the Holdens would be listening in? Did something urgent happen?" she asked.

Corinne's eyes dimmed a little. "No, nothing urgent happened. I just wanted to talk to you. As for the Holdens, well, there's no need to hide from them anymore."

Xante immediately knew something must have happened. "Why not? Did you get busted at the ribbon-cutting ceremony?"

Corinne shook her head. "No… But after that, Jeremy found out where I'm staying."

Xante bolted right up. "What? He found out where you're staying?! Are you okay? Did he do anything to you?"

Corinne sighed. "No, he didn't. He left without doing anything to me."
