The Day I Kissed An Older Man novel Chapter 284

Chapter 284

Rosie’s eyes lit up when she saw the man who spoke, and her tone became gentle as she said, “Lucas, you’re here!”

Rosie’s sudden lovestruck reaction prompted Corinne to turn

around and have a look at who it was.

The man behind her was tall and slender. He wore a finely tailored light–gray suit, and there was a touch of warm handsomeness to his expression. His beautiful long eyes were like an artist’s portrayal of a charming man, with a hint of estrangement added to his demeanor. He exuded the

condescending look of the high–bred member of society, like a god bereft of earthly influence as he stood high above all men.

He looked at Corinne when she turned to look at him, and he recognized Corinne immediately. “You?”

Corinne also recognized him as the grandson of the blind elderly man from the previous day.

Seeing Lucas chatting with Corinne, Rosie panicked and had her guard up as she asked with a smirk, “Do you know Corinne?”

Lucas glanced at Rosie insipidly before turning his warm yet distant gaze back toward Corinne. “Your name is Corinne?”

Corinne nodded. “Yes. My name is Corinne.”

Lucas did not say anything more and simply raised his hand elegantly, signaling to his secretary, Edmund, for his wallet. He took it from Edmund, opened it, and signed a checkbook inside before tearing it off and handing it to Corinne. He then

said politely, “I caught wind that you felt that I gave you too little. Take a look at this check and tell me if it’s better.”

Corinne looked down at the check that was handed to her. This time, it was a check filled with a specific number, 750,000 dollars, which was one zero more than the previous day.

Rosie looked at them in a daze, for she was puzzled as to why Lucas would give Corinne such a large check. Though she wanted to ask him, she did not dare to be rash and interrupt

them.

Corinne cocked her eyebrow. “Sir, do you think seven–hundred -and–fifty million can buy a person’s dignity?”

Lucas’s noble and handsome face was unmoved. He smiled and responded to her without answering her question, “Generally speaking, it doesn’t take this much to buy the dignity of an ordinary person.”

Corinne looked at him with a bright, clear gaze. “So, what you’re saying is, you think that as long as you have enough money, you can buy anyone’s dignity and everything that comes with a person?”
