The Day I Kissed An Older Man novel Chapter 1549

Aaron snorted and turned to look at Annie. "Girls shouldn't be too soft, Annie. Treat him the same way he was prepared to treat you earlier."

His implication was clear as he glanced at the glass of orange juice in Annie's hand.

Annie understood right away. She had grown fed up with Gibby and no longer cared about maintaining her ladylike image. After removing the straw from her glass, she held it up and splashed it on Gibby's face.

Gibby barely had time to react when the sticky juice drenched the most expensive shirt in his wardrobe. He specifically chose that for the blind date.

Furious, his temper flared, and he raised his hand. "You... You b—"

Aaron cleared his throat lightly. "Remember. All our employees must respect women."

Realizing that acting on his anger could jeopardize his chance to secure a decent job at a big company, Gibby froze mid-sentence and stopped short of uttering the B-word. He mustered an ugly smile and said, "I'll happily go through this if it helps ease your anger, Miss Annie."

He then turned to Aaron and asked, "Mister Aaron, will this suffice to prove that I respect women?"

Aaron could not be bothered to have him linger around any longer. "You may go."

Gibby sought to confirm if he was still accepted for the job. "Does that mean I can clock into my first day of work at Newmoon Group tomorrow?"

"Yes." Aaron nodded.

"And it has nothing to do with you in the first place!" Annie avoided his gaze as her face grew even redder.

Unexpectedly, Aaron rested his chin on her shoulder. His tone turned somewhat suggestive as he said. "Who says it has nothing to do with me? It's not okay for anyone to bully you. I can't stand it, and I won't allow it."

The weight on her shoulder surprised her, prompting her to exclaim, "Ah! Y—Y—You're too close! Sit over there! It's making me uncomfortable!"

Aaron raised his chin knowingly and smiled faintly. "You're a little warm even though the restaurant has air-conditioning. Why is that? Do you feel warm because I'm too close to you?" he asked teasingly.

Annie's face grew even redder. She turned away unhappily and said, "Cut it out, or I'll get mad at you!"
