The Day I Kissed An Older Man

Jason did not persuade Corinne any further after hearing her protest. He shrugged, pulled out a chair, and sat opposite her. "Sigh! You always give me a hard time."
After Corinne flipped through the menu and ordered what she wanted to eat, she handed the menu to him and said, "Quit your nonsense and decide what to order! Let's wrap this up as soon as possible. I'll be busy later."
Jason took the menu and sighed again. He ordered some extra dishes before handing the menu to the wait staff. "Why do you have to be so careful around me when all we're doing is having a meal? Even my suggestion of dining in a private room seemed to have rubbed you the wrong way. It's not like I'm asking you to come with me to a hotel room."
Corinne, who was busy typing a message on her cellphone, paused for a
moment and glanced at him. "Other people could easily get the wrong idea if they spot a man and a woman having a meal in a private room. Since we're here to talk business, we could save each other the trouble by opting for the main dining area!"
"Tch!" Jason folded his arms. "Correct me if I'm wrong, but you're only being careful because you're worried that Jeremy might get the wrong idea!"
Corinne stopped typing for a moment before continuing, all while ignoring Jason's question. She had texted Zachary via the usual encryption process. Any outsider who chanced upon the message would see only a weather forecast notification. Unfortunately, Zachary never replied, and she was beginning to worry about him.
"Corinne? Hello? Are you listening to me?" Jason stretched out his hand and snapped her out of her daze by tapping the table.
"Huh? What?" she asked distractedly.
Jason frowned and said, "Didn't you hear a word of what I said to you?"
Corinne did not pay attention and was far from interested in his blabbering. However, she still asked absent-mindedly, "What did you say?"
Jason threw his hands up in the air and said, "Forget it. You can go ahead and play with your phone since you're not interested in talking to me!"
Corinne had been waiting for Jeremy's reply. The protracted wait led her to believe that it might be inconvenient for him to reply. She was hungry by the time the wait staff came over and served her the food, so she placed her phone to one side and began eating.
Jason's eyes filled with relief when he saw her finally place her phone down. "Ah, so you're finally willing to put down your precious phone, huh? I can't help but wonder who it is you're texting. You seem to be very concerned for them!"
Corinne looked up and rolled her eyes at him. "Eat your food and quit your nonsense!"
"A meal's not a meal without conversation!"
