The Day I Kissed An Older Man novel Chapter 1544

Annie's lips twitched as she said with a forced smile, "Slight delay is an understatement."

The man raised his arm nonchalantly and rolled up his sleeves to reveal a luxury watch. "It's been forty minutes past the designated time already? I'm sorry, Miss Annie. I didn't realize that time would pass so quickly." He chuckled.

Annie had given up any hope of having a meaningful conversation with that blind date. She was trying to come up with a polite excuse to leave when the man adjusted his thick glasses and said with a grin, "Never mind that. We've finally met, so let's not sweat the small stuff. It's a pleasure meeting you, Miss Annie. Please allow me to introduce myself."

'Let's not sweat the small stuff, huh? Hello! You’ve been more than forty minutes late, sir! How could you act like it's not a big deal?' Annie chided in her heart.

The man proceeded to introduce himself confidently, "My name is Gibby Zender. I'm a twenty-eight-year-old graduate of WEX University, the top university in Molomia. I'm one hundred eighty centimeters tall, and I weigh one hundred eighty kilograms."

Annie glanced at him again. He had already sat down when she saw him, so she was unable to confirm his height. However, his round face belied his weight, and she could tell that it was certainly more than 180 kilograms.

"Hi, my name is Annie," Annie responded with a faint, awkward smile. "There's no need to be lengthy, so I'll just cut to the chase and skip the introductions. I don't think we're a good match for each other."

"Why would you say that I'm a little older than you expected when you're twenty-eight and I'm twenty-six? It's only a two-year difference. Don't you think it's a little odd?"

Gibby shook his head and said sternly, "You're a woman, so it's not right to compare yourself to us men. We're both adults, so I won't beat around the bush. We need to view this blind date from a realistic perspective. You're already twenty-six, and you're not very highly educated either. There's not much of a future for you, especially when you're working as a clerk.

"I'll give you credit for taking good care of your good looks, but being pretty isn't going to put food on your table. In the end, you're still going to rely on a man to support you in the future. Forgive me for being harsh, but a woman's value diminishes after she turns twenty-five. This is a reality you must accept. You're lucky that someone promising like me can still tolerate your age," said Gibby.
