The Day I Kissed An Older Man by Cher the Cherished

Pamela nodded and smiled. “Thank you. That’s very thoughtful of you. But why don’t you leave the pastries here first? I’ll have them when I come back. Sorry for not keeping you, but I have to attend to a family matter. But please do come again another day! I’ll cook lunch for you then.”

Sophia smiled demurely. “It’s okay, Grandma. There’s no need to feel bad about it. By the way, are you going out? Shall I give you a ride?”

“No, it’s fine. We won’t want to take up any more of your time, so we’ll ask the family driver to give us a ride. After all, that’s what we pay them to do.”

“Oh, don’t worry about that. I’m completely free this afternoon,” said Sophia warmly.

Francine always hated Sophia. It annoyed her that Sophia came every two or three days to spend time with Pamela and Greg. She was not really worried about Pamela being swept away by her charm since she was a woman too and knew what Sophia was trying to do.

However, Greg was a different story. He was smitten by Sophia’s charm. It was obvious he liked Sophia more than Corinne as he would always praise her for her cheerful and down-to-earth personality.
