The Day I Kissed An Older Man novel Chapter 1279

"Jeremy, where are you going? We haven't even had a good chat yet," said Zeke.

"I'm going out to make a call," replied Jeremy indifferently.

"Tsk! Gerald, don't you think Jeremy should make up with Corinne by now? I mean, she can't have it easy with that pregnant belly of hers!" said Zeke.

Gerald glanced at him and said, "Mind your own business, Zeke."

Zeke scoffed and turned to Jason, who was drinking his wine. "By the way, Jason. You look like you really care about Corinne. Are you close with her? How come I didn't know that?"

Jason smiled. "Oh, didn't I tell you guys? We go way back. I knew her even before I knew she was together with Jeremy."

Zeke was a little taken aback. He could not help but think Jason was hinting something, so he and Gerald exchanged glances with each other as they came to a tacit understanding.

Jason downed his wine and placed the empty glass on the table. "I'm going out to make a call too."

Zeke was speechless. He shook his head as he watched Gerald leave. "I don't think either Jeremy or Jason are going out to make a call. What do you think, Gerald?"

Gerald swirled his whisky. "Yeah, probably not."

Zeke smiled. "They probably went to look for Corinne."

Gerald chose to stay silent.

Corinne did not go to the restroom. Instead, she walked along the walls to take a closer look at each of the paintings displayed.

Corinne smiled. She chose not to explain herself and instead said, "You're right. This is a rare opportunity. I should thank you for giving me this opportunity, Miss Sophia. You've really opened up a whole new world for me."

Sophia smiled back at her. "Oh, don't say that, Corinne. I know you didn't exactly grow up in the best environment, but you should know that it isn't your fault. I promise I'll take you to more fancy places in the future once we've become friends."

"Then let me thank you in advance. Can I go back to viewing the paintings now?" asked Corinne with a smile.

"Of course," replied Sophia with a nod.

"Why are you still blocking my way? Move aside now so I can view these rare and famous paintings," said Corinne rudely.

Sophia's face froze for a second before she smiled again. "Oops. Sorry, my bad. I didn't know I was blocking your way. I'm willing to get out of your way. Can you do the same for me?"
