The Day I Kissed An Older Man by Cher the Cherished

Corinne had put Jeremy’s T-shirt back on, but she doubled up with the jacket he had given her because she felt a little cold after letting in some outside air through the window.

“I heard you’re unemployed now?” Corinne heard Jeremy’s deep voice as she stared aimlessly at the passing scenery outside the car window.

Corinne’s lips twitched. “Yup, and it’s all thanks to you.”

Jeremy flipped through the documents in his hand. “I gave the company a chance, yet there were still mistakes that shouldn’t have happened. According to my standards, such a plan lacks any investment value.”

Corinne yawned, evidently because she was a little sleepy. “Oh, you don’t need to tell me why, mister. After all, I’m no longer an employee of Alpha Enterprises.”

Jeremy was speechless for a moment. He continued flipping through the documents and said in a casual tone, “If you’re looking for a company to do your internship, then—”

“Stop the car!” Corinne interrupted his sentence and stretched her head out of the car window. Her eyes seemed to be sparkling as if she had spotted something. As soon as the driver put his foot on the brakes, Corinne opened the door and went down.

In no time, she ran to the bus stop in front and jumped on the bus that had just arrived. She got a seat by the window, stretched out a hand from inside, and gave a thumbs-up to the Mercedes-Benz behind her. Then, she slowly flipped her thumbs-up to become a thumbs-down, clearly showing her contempt for them.

Her little hand retracted back into the bus as it drove away slowly.

Tommy’s temples were beginning to throb when he saw that. Corinne was truly a unique character. For the record, no one in the entire New Capital City—or even the whole country for that matter—would dare to show such rudeness in front of Jeremy.

“Sir, she took your suit jacket with her. The International Trade Center will be completed later in the afternoon, and you have to attend the ribbon-cutting…”

“Have someone bring me another one.”

Jeremy lowered his eyebrows and continued to look through the documents with a gloomy face.

“Right!” Tommy then said, “Sir, when your sister called me earlier, she told me that she was hospitalized.”

Jeremy looked up slightly. “She was fine the last time I saw her. Why was she hospitalized?”
