The Day I Kissed An Older Man by Cher the Cherished

Chapter 1069

“Is this Francine? Your brother is still sleeping. Did something urgent happen? Should I wake him up, or do you want

to call him again later?” asked the woman.

At the mention of her name, Francine immediately realized the woman obviously knew Jeremy well. However, she

did not recognize the woman’s voice, so she had no idea whether it was anyone from their circle of friends.

Still, she knew she should not say more in front of Corinne, so she said to the woman on the phone, “It’s nothing

urgent. I’ll call him again later.”

After that, she quickly hung up the phone and looked toward Corinne to check her reaction. If it were any other

woman, she would have snatched the phone away from Francine and asked the same question Francine did, or

even straight away cursing her.

However, Corinne was not any other woman—she did not even react. She simply looked away and said nothing.

‘Sh*t. Her reaction is not normal. This is all my fault. I should say something to help Jeremy out…’ thought Francine.

Thus, she quickly explained, “Corinne, I’m sure this is just a misunderstanding. That woman is probably the personal

assistant my brother hired for his business trip since Tommy didn’t go with him this time. I mean, have you seen

him without a personal assistant before? Let me tell you, he’s useless without one.”

Corinne smiled calmly. “Can a mere personal assistant go into his room when he’s still sleeping and pick up his

calls?”

Francine scratched her head. “Umm… Maybe that personal assistant snuck in without my brother’s knowing so she

could seduce him! I mean, it’s not that surprising if you really think about it. Even I have to admit Jeremy is quite

the catch. But you should know he’d never do anything to hurt you.”

Corinne laughed out loud. “Fine. Whatever. Believe him all you want. I’m just going to take my shower and sleep

now.”

After that, she walked back into the mansion and up to her room to shower.

Francine froze, thinking she was really in deep sh*t this time. She waited until Corinne had gone back inside before

calling Jeremy’s number again. This time, it was he himself who picked up.

“Hello?” greeted Jeremy with a tinge of impatience.

“Jeremy, did you just wake up?” whispered Francine cautiously.

“Yeah.” As if the sleepiness in his voice was not obvious enough.

Francine gasped. “Who was the woman who picked up your phone just now? Did… Did you sleep with her?”

After a brief silence, Jeremy said coldly, “Isn’t it night where you are right now? Why are you not sleeping? Just why

are you calling me?”

Francine shrank her neck in fright. “Umm… I’m not calling for myself but for…Corinne.”

“Did something happen to her? Is she okay?” asked Jeremy quickly in a tone that was one octave higher than his

usual tone.

“Don’t worry, she’s fine. It’s just… She was beside me when the woman picked up your phone and, uh… She heard

everything the woman said. Hey Jeremy…you’re not cheating on Corinne, right?”

All she got back as a response was the beep as Jeremy hung up on her without warning.

Francine stared at her phone with a frown, thinking, ‘All hell is about to break loose at home. What should I do? If I

had known this was going to happen, I wouldn’t have called Jeremy just to make a point to Corinne!’
