The Day I Kissed An Older Man

Chapter 554
Corinne nodded without hesitation.
“Yes. Since your sister has pretended to pass out, and we all know it’s impossible to wake person who’s pretending to pass out,
you need to apologize on her behalf as well!” Lucas was speechless. No one ever so brazenly asked him to apologize to them
before.
At that moment, Jeremy who was sitting not far away smoking a cigarette smirked. He narrowed his eyes slightly in both
admiration and sarcasm as he watched Corinne trying to extract an apology out of Lucas.
‘She’s still as spunky as ever. No matter where she is or who she is going up against, she never backs down from a fight to
uphold justice for herself and others. Lucas has certainly met his match this time,’ thought Jeremy.
He puffed out some smoke rings. The more he admired Corinne, the more unhappy he became. This was because it was the
same spunkiness that made her ignore his feelings and run away without telling him to get married to another man.
At that moment, looking at Corinne, the amusement in Jason’s eyes became even stronger.’ She might look like a cute pushover
but it would be foolish for anyone to mess with her alright. Interestingly, she would dare to make her boss apologize to her.’
After a long while of silence, seeing that Corinne was not joking, Lucas’ face darkened as he said coldly, “On behalf of my sister
and I, we would like to apologize to you, Miss Carew. There. Are you happy now?”
Corinne smiled. “Yes. I accept your apology. And as compensation for framing me, be so kind as to give me the rest of the day
off?”
Lucas frowned and glared at her in disbelief.
The smile on Corinne’s lips became even wider as she explained, “The whole matter has exhausted me so I’d like to go home to
have a rest. I trust that an understanding and generous person like you will allow me to do that, right?”
Lucas never met such an opportunistic woman before! He scoffed and said, “Yes, go home and rest all you want. If it pleases
you, you don’t ever have to come to the office again.”
Corinne put on a professional smile. “Don’t worry. I’ll make sure to arrive at the office on time tomorrow. See you then, Mister
Lucas.”

Lucas was speechless. He narrowed his eyes and glared at Corinne coldly for a minute though he did have to admit to himself
that he admired her attitude of being neither too humble nor too overbearing. However, he would not fall in love with her just
because of that.
After that, he walked around Corinne and strode out of the restaurant..
Corinne shrugged, not taking his attitude to heart. She then smiled at the lady owner and said, “Sorry, ma’am, for taking up your
time. We’ll be leaving then to let you get on with your business.”
The lady owner did not know the dynamics between Corinne and the rest of the group so she simply smiled and said some
perfunctory words. “Glad I could be of some help!”
Having drunk too much water, Corinne wanted to go to the restroom. As soon as she turned around, she saw Jeremy was gone
from his seat. He must have left to go check on Anya. She did pass out after all so it’s understandable that he would be worried
about her,’ she thought.
She let out a scoff before walking leisurely to the restroom.
After coming out of the restaurant, Corinne wanted to call a taxi to send her back but was unable to because the entrance was
blocked by two head-turning luxury cars.
One of the cars was Jeremy’s usual ride a limited edition high-spec McLaren other was Jason’s streamlined sedan, and though
not as ostentatious as Jeremy’s car, nonetheless very expensive.
However, what was even more attractive than the two cars was their owners.
Jeremy, with both of his hands stuffed inside his pants’ pockets, was standing in front of his car. His expression was one of
sternness and coldness.
“Get in!” he said coldly as soon as he saw Corinne coming out of the entrance.
