The Day I Kissed An Older Man novel Chapter 512

Chapter 512

Corinne stood alone in the emergency lane. There was only pitch-black darkness around her which would sometimes be punctuated with the light from an oncoming car.

It was dangerous to walk on a highway as one could accidentally get hit by a car, so Corinne did not walk along the highway after she got out of the car. Instead, she turned on the flashlight on her phone so that the cars would know she was there and at the same time, she called Xante.

“Xante, where are you?”

“I’m in Yrimir, remember? You were the one who asked me to come here to negotiate the buying of Vita Company. I took the flight out this morning.”

Corinne pinched the space between her brows. ‘Ugh, the pregnancy brain must’ve made me forget that Xante is out of the country.’

“What’s wrong, boss? How did Missus Benet’s birthday party go?”

“It was okay. Do take care of yourself while you’re in Yrimir. I’ll ask Aaron to pick me up instead.”

Corinne hung up the phone and called Aaron. However, after waiting and waiting, no one answered.

‘What the hell is that kid doing?’

Corinne looked around at her surroundings as the sound of the automated voice operator came on the phone. ‘Come on. Think, Corinne! There must be some other way to get out of this,’ she thought with a frown.

Corinne knew she had no right to get into Jeremy’s car because he had a wife and kid. Any woman with a good head on her shoulder would have done the same as she did.

Tommy looked insistently at her and said, “Miss Carew, please don’t make this difficult for me. We can’t stop the car for long on the highway. We’ll all be at risk if you don’t get into the car right now.”

Corinne was speechless. ‘Is he telling me that he’d have to stay with me here until I get into the car? Well, I shouldn’t be surprised since Jeremy has never taken a no for an answer.’

She was visibly annoyed and at a loss for what to do at the same time. After thinking through, she checked the time on her phone and saw it was close to midnight.

‘Well, I guess it’s better than asking the police for help.’
