The Day I Kissed An Older Man novel Chapter 1185

Jason narrowed his eyes. "Corinne, just what is your relationship with Newmoon Group?"

"Xante and Aaron are my childhood friends," said Corinne honestly.

"I see." Jason got the gist of the whole thing, so he did not ask any further questions about it. "This is certainly tricky. One hundred and fifty million dollars isn't a small sum at all."

That was why Corinne was so frustrated. If it was only a few thousand or even one hundred thousand dollars, she could have just let the whole thing be.

"Corinne, have you ever heard of an ancient art of face disguise, Metamorph?" asked Jason with a smile and a raised eyebrow.

'Metamorph?' Corinne frowned. "What? Like in the magic world?"

Jason shook his head. "Not exactly. I heard there's a mask that will change your face completely once you wear it."

Corinne frowned. "Even if there's such a mask, how are you going to get it?"

Jason smiled. "I can try to get it. Then you can wear the mask to attend the ribbon-cutting ceremony without having to worry about being exposed."

Corinne was not convinced. "But what about my baby bump? It's not like I can suck it in."

The next morning, Jason called her to let her know he had gotten the mask and that someone would be bringing it over to her later that night.

Corinne had given herself pep talks throughout the day, so she felt more confident. She texted Xante in Morse Code to tell her that she would be attending the ribbon-cutting ceremony as Moon in two days.

…

Xante, who was still in her office, was shocked and worried when she read the text message Corinne sent her.

'The boss is going to attend the ribbon-cutting ceremony? Isn't she scared that Mister Jeremy will find out? Wouldn't all of her effort in hiding for the past six months be in vain?'
