The Day I Kissed An Older Man novel Chapter 1216

"Yeah," said Corinne simply.

Annie nudged Jeremy with her elbow. "Uncle Jeremy, did you hear that? She was alone for the past six months. Alone!"

She had hoped Jeremy would not misunderstand Corinne so they could sit and have a civil conversation after so long of not seeing each other.

Jeremy chuckled mockingly. "That's what she said."

Annie did not understand what Jeremy meant. 'Why did he say that? Are they really breaking up soon?'

Corinne was visibly irked by Jeremy's comment. 'Does he think I'm lying?'

Annie was only trying to lighten the mood, but her attempt at making conversation just seemed to make the whole situation even worse. Thus, she decided to be silent.

…

Meanwhile, back in Xante's office.

Xante had asked someone to bring in some snacks for Sunny to keep him occupied while she tried to finish her work. However, she could not sit still after her secretary told her Corinne had gotten into Jeremy's car.

"What?! Where is Jeremy taking her?" she asked in a panicked tone.

The secretary shook her head. "I don't know. I only heard them talking about ending things properly."

Xante was furious. "How can you let her get into the car without knowing where he's taking her? And why didn't you follow her?"

Xante glared at him. "You should go back to class instead of annoying me further!"

Sunny softened his tone a little as he did not want to be kicked out. "Xante, please don't get angry at me. I have nothing to do with this…"

"Then just be quiet so you won't cause me any more trouble!"

Xante walked out of her office and called Corinne, but she did not pick up. Thus, she decided to go discuss with Aaron about their next steps.

The moment she pushed open his office door, she saw Aaron with his head lying dejectedly on the table. If she did not know any better, she would have thought he was drunk.

She walked up to him and knocked on his desk. "Wake up! Boss is in big trouble!"
