The Day I Kissed An Older Man novel Chapter 152

Chapter 152

The smile on Sherlyn’s face froze when Jeremy did not even react to her enthusiastic explanation. His expression was stern and indifferent, which came off as intimidating.

Sherlyn did not try to force a conversation with him, so she eased some of her embarrassment by turning to ask Xante. “Where is my assistant, Miss Xante? I need her to carry something for me!” Xante seemed to have a bad feeling about how the situation was developing, but she adjusted her gold-rimmed glasses calmly and said lightly, “Your assistant has just left, Miss Sherlyn.”

Sherlyn frowned in dissatisfaction. “She left?! Where the hell did she go? How dare she run off without even waiting for me to come back!”

Xante smiled politely and said indifferently, “I’m not privy to that, I’m afraid.”

Sherlyn was already pissed that Corinne was requested to speak in a private discussion, and that anger only escalated when Corinne just left without saying a word. She immediately took out her cell phone and called Corinne to question her.

Xante wanted to stop her from doing so, but it was too little too late.

Soon, Corinne’s head-pounding ringtone began to blare from inside the office. “I’m not afraid, I’m not afraid… To take a stand, to take a stand… It’s been a ride… Everybody…”

Sherlyn was taken aback and asked strangely, “My assistant’s cell phone is ringing from inside your office, Miss Xante. She’s still in there, isn’t she?”

Xante’s expression fluctuated a little, but she covered it up with a professional smile. “Your assistant has left, Miss Sherlyn, but it sounds like she forgot to bring her cell phone with her.”

Jeremy had an enigmatic expression as he remembered Moon the architect from earlier-behind that

gas mask was a pair of familiar eyes. He seemed to realize something as his pupils contracted slightly. He then turned and headed back into the office so he could confirm his suspicions.

Jeremy was unmoved, and his posture suggested that he was still insistent to go in. “I’m only going to head in there to speak briefly with Moon, and I won’t disturb her for too long. Please move aside, Miss Xante.” The impatience in his eyes was boiling over, and it took every fiber of being in him not to break the door down.

Xante frowned and stood firm in blocking the door. “Mister Jeremy, I hope you’ll-”

During that stalemate, Corinne’s crisp voice came from the far end. “I’m here, Sherlyn!”

As soon as Corinne’s voice was heard, Jeremy and Xante-who were both in a stalemate-looked over at the same time.

Corinne walked leisurely from the corridor on the left side of the office and even covered her mouth to yawn.

Aaron, the vice president of Newmoon Group, was walking by her side.
