The Day I Kissed An Older Man novel Chapter 1729

Jason shrugged and grinned nonchalantly. He then followed Corinne into the office.

"I am working, though. It's part of my job to come here and talk to you about work. Hence, I am leading by example by being a hardworking employer."

Corinne walked to her desk. She could feel Jason moving closer to her. It was an annoying habit of his; he would deliberately try to get close to her so their bodies would touch while talking.

She turned and casually pulled out a chair. "Mister Jason, please have a seat. We should treat this as a business meeting since we're going to talk about work. I'm afraid that it'll be hard to draw a line between personal and work if you're too close to me."

Jason smiled and sat on the chair. "Thank you, Corinne."

Corinne walked to her desk and sat opposite him. "So, what do you want to discuss with me?" she asked while looking at him lightly.

Jason's expression turned serious. "It's about the piece of land in Serenity Bay we're going to develop. I was thinking we could section out an area to build an art gallery. What do you think?"

Corinne gave his idea some serious thought before saying, "Which area do you have in mind."

"It's difficult for me to explain which area. If you're free, maybe we can go over so I can show you the area. It'll also be easier for me to explain some of the ideas for how I want the art gallery to look like."

Corinne looked at the time on her wristwatch. "I'm not free in the morning. I have an important meeting later."

Jason shrugged. "It's okay. I have nothing important to do anyway, so I'll wait here for you. We can go for lunch and then to Serenity Bay after you've finished your meeting."

"Fine, I'll wait in the lounge. But you should know how chilled to the bone I am by your attitude…"

Jason knew Corinne was not joking. He would not be surprised if she asked security to escort him out.

Seeing Jason leave her office to go to the lounge area, Corinne said in a loud voice so that her staff could hear, "Mister Jason doesn't like the cold! Remember to turn on the heater for him."

Jason turned around in shock. "Corinne, it's scorching hot outside! Why did you ask your staff to turn on the heater for me? You don't want me to wait for you that much?"

Corinne smiled. "Didn't you just say you were chilled to the bone by my attitude? Well, you won't be anymore with the heater turned on."
