The Day I Kissed An Older Man

Jeremy stopped the car somewhere off the mansion’s gate.
Corinne was so tired that she could not wait to take a shower and sleep. Thus, when she realized the car had stopped, she
asked, “Why did you stop the car here?”
Jeremy gestured with his chin to somewhere in front of them. “That’s Lucas’ car. He’s probably here to look for you.”
Corinne looked to where he was gesturing and saw a car parked at the side of the road. Lucas must have noticed them too, so
he got down from the car and stood there looking at them.
Seeing this, Jeremy turned to Corinne. “Do you want to talk to him? I can just drive into the mansion if you don’t want to.”
He would not have even asked her if it were not for the fact he knew Lucas was her brother.
Corinne narrowed her eyes. “I might as well find out what he wants since he’s made the trip.”
“Okay, I’ll wait for you here,” said Jeremy while ruffling her hair.
After that, Corinne got down from the car and walked toward Lucas.
Lucas’ eyes immediately lit up when she saw Corinne get out of the car. He met her halfway and greeted her gently, “Hey,
Corinne.”
“How can I help you, Mister Lucas?” she asked apathetically.
“It’s cold out here. Shall we talk inside the car?”
Corinne nodded and followed him to his car.
Lucas turned around and gave Jeremy a nod to show that he appreciated him letting Corinne talk to him.
He then opened his car door for Corinne before she even had the chance to touch the door handle. Corinne thanked him out of
politeness before getting into the car. After closing the door, Lucas entered the car from the other side.
“So what did you want to talk about, Mister Lucas?” Corinne asked as soon as his door closed.
Lucas was used to Corinne’s cold attitude toward him as it was not like he could do anything about it.

“Corinne, I saw all the hashtags. What’s all that about?”
Corinne had a feeling he came to talk to her about this. “Beats me.”
“So you don’t know whether someone is targeting you or the Holdens?” he asked worriedly.
“They’re probably targeting me. The Holdens just happen to be collateral damage. Were you the one who made the hashtags
disappear?”
Lucas did think about making the hashtags disappear, but they were all gone by the time he was going to do something about it.
“It wasn’t me. I didn’t even have the time to reach before they all disappeared. My guess it was Jeremy who did that.”
Corinne looked out the window at Jeremy’s car. ‘Come to think of it...’
