The Day I Kissed An Older Man novel Chapter 743

Xante glanced at Aaron coldly and said, "She's scolding you! Don't put me in the same category as you!"

Corinne ignored them and looked at the time. She had another hour to go before the work day ended, and she could probably reach Holden Group just in time for Jeremy to clock off if she took a taxi right then.

She put down her coffee, got up from the office chair, and said, "Go back to your respective duties. I'll be leaving."

Aaron said reluctantly, "Where are you going? Aren't you going to have dinner with us?"

"I'm heading to Holden Group to pick Jeremy up from work." Corinne waved her hand without looking back and pushed open the door of the president's office.

Aaron looked at the door that had been closed shut and shook his head in amazement. "Tsk, tsk, tsk. She's so madly in love with him that it's nauseating!"

Xante snapped back to her senses and looked at him in disgust. "Go back to your office and stay jealous here!"

Corinne went to a cafe directly opposite the Holden Group's building, took a seat at a table by the window, and ordered a cup of coffee.

Her table had a good view of the building's main entrance, and she could see Jeremy getting off work for the first time. She went there without informing Jeremy in advance because she wanted to surprise him, and also wanted to see how he would react when he suddenly saw her coming to fetch him from work.

'What sort of expression will that suavely dressed, stern-faced man have when he sees her all of a sudden? Must be a pretty amusing one!' Corinne unconsciously had an excited smile on her lips when she thought of that.

"One iced water coming up."

When the waiter brought the iced water over, Corinne looked intently at Annie and questioned her, "Your car broke down and you couldn't get a taxi, but I was in a taxi. You shouldn't have been able to keep track of where I went. How did you end up coming here?"

"Uh... I... I..." Annie had a guilty conscience and sipped her water to ease her embarrassment.

Corinne looked at her apprehensively. "You weren't planning to catch up to me at all, were you? I bet you were secretly following me."

Annie remained in deep thought for some time but was unable to think of a suitable excuse. In a moment of anxiousness, she blurted out the truth. "Okay! I admit it. I wanted to follow you! I lost track of where you were headed after my car broke down, but since I wasn't too far away from Holden Group, I decided to look for my uncle. I then happened to see you sitting in the cafe, so I decided to come in and meet you!"
