The Day I Kissed An Older Man

Chapter 10

Zoey stared at the Mercedes-Benz that slowly drove off. In a fit of jealousy, she returned to the company and cooked up wild stories for her colleagues.

“Do any of you know why Corinne could leave so happily? Turns out, she’s a sugar baby to a rich old man! She doesn’t need to care whether or not she has a job!”

‘Sugar baby?’ The employees were intrigued by the gossip, and they all surrounded Zoey to find out what was going on.

Zoey described the situation with a generous amount of exaggeration. “Out of the kindness of my heart, I decided to head down and return some of the stuff that Corinne left behind. You won’t believe what I saw. She was sitting on the lap of some fat old man inside this luxurious car! I don’t think I need to explain what she was doing, right?”

“An old man, you say? How old is old?”

“Over sixty, I guess.”

“Whoa, there. Isn’t that old enough to be her grandfather? I didn’t expect Corinne to be such a degenerate!”

“Tsk, tsk, tsk! Just goes to show you can’t judge a book by its cover.”

Unable to tolerate those remarks anymore, Joanna stood up and retorted loudly, “Enough with your nonsense, Zoey. Corinne isn’t that kind of woman!”

Zoey sneered. “Me? Talking nonsense? I saw it with my own eyes! If you don’t believe me, you can take a look at the company’s surveillance footage and see for yourself if Corinne got into a Mercedes-Benz just outside the main entrance!”

Joanna pursed her lips angrily, knowing that she did not have the authority to check the company’s surveillance footage.

Zoey was clearly being a bully. She was the one who chased Corinne away, and she dared to badmouth her in the company. It was utterly despicable!

Unable to fight against Zoey, Joanna sat down and continued her work, all while she tried to keep her emotions in check. Within seconds of going on her computer, however, she realized that something was different.
