The Day I Kissed An Older Man

Chapter 595
Corinne was not persuaded and was adamant about refusing.
At that moment, Lucas finally said in a stern and impatient tone. “That’s enough! Stop causing trouble! If Anya can’t take the
stage, getting someone else to take her place is unnecessary. Grandpa isn’t going to blame anyone. I’ll just explain Anya’s
situation to him.”
After hearing what Lucas said, Corinne could not be happier to be freed from that.
pressure.
Anya insisted tearfully, “I didn’t prepare any other gifts for Grandpa aside from this performance... Even if Grandpa doesn’t
blame me for not giving him a proper present, it’d still leave him with a bad impression of me in the future. That’s why I need to
complete the performance for him...”
Lucas frowned and gazed down at his stubborn sister. “Listen to me, Anya. Your health is more important than anything. If you
want to sing the opera you’ve practiced for Grandpa, you can always do so another day. There will be more opportunities for you
to sing for him in the future!”
Anya started struggling again. “No! It’s Grandpa’s birthday today, and the performance will lose its significance if I do it on a
random day. I’ve already told Grandpa that I prepared a special gift for him, so I can’t break my promise! Jeremy... He’s waiting
in the audience to see my performance too. I don’t want to disappoint either of them...”
Lucas’s gaze turned gloomy. “Anya!”
Rosie walked up to Lucas and Anya before standing up for her best friend, “Anya’s still determined to go on with the
performance, and if we don’t find someone to go on stage to complete the performance for her, she won’t listen to you and
cooperate to get her injuries. checked!”
That was when Lucas finally began to consider Rosie’s suggestion.
Anya might be a demure girl, but she had a very stubborn temper and was determined to see. through something that she had
her heart set on. Evidence of that could be seen in her decision to marry Jeremy ever since she was still a child. What Rosie said
made sense because Anya would not cooperate with the treatment even if she was forced to be sent to the hospital. That would
make things even more troublesome.

Lucas was worried about Anya’s injury, so after taking everything into consideration, he

and glanced coldly at Corinne before ordering, “Get yourself ready to take the stage as Anya’s replacement.”
Corinne did not answer her boss as rudely as she did to Rosie and Anya. “Aren’t you afraid I’d butcher the gift your sister has so
painstakingly prepared?”
Lucas said coldly, “What matters to an older person is not whether you sing well, but whether
you poured your heart into it. Just sing a couple of lines and do your best for Anyal”
Roste agreed and said, “If you don’t, then Anya’s mind won’t be at ease when she gets her foot injury checked on. Will you be
able to bear the consequences if she suffers from any sequelae due to the late treatment?”
“Are you all certain you want me to take the stage for Miss Anya?”
Anya looked at Corinne with pleading eyes. “I’m injured now, Corinne. I can’t go on stage. I’ll be very grateful if you can go on
stage and help me salvage the situation! You have such a nice voice, so I’m sure you can sing a tune well. I trust that you’ll be
fine...”
Corinne looked at Anya, then at her boss Lucas, and thought about it before sighing helplessly,
“Okay then. Since my boss insisted, then I as an employee-can only do as told. You can’t blame me if I don’t sing well, though.”
“We won’t! Thank you for your willingness to help me!” Anya said gratefully, then turned to Rosie, “Could you please help me
bring Corinne to get her makeup and dress ready? We’re running out of time!”
Rosie nodded with a triumphant smile on her face. “Sure. Don’t worry, Anya, I’ll bring her there right away!”
