The Day I Kissed An Older Man

Annie snapped out of her trance. “Yes, Corinne?”

“You can go back to work if you want. I’m perfectly okay right here, so you don’t have to stay the whole day with me. Though, I won’t mind you dropping in from time to time.”

Annie shook her head resolutely. “No. I’ve promised Uncle Jeremy I’ll take care of you, so I cannot go back on my word.”

Corinne shook her head. “I’ll explain everything to him. Plus, you don’t have to listen to everything he says. That workaholic thinks only his work is important, while yours isn’t. That’s why he didn’t think twice about asking you to take care of me. Don’t pay him any mind.”

Annie did not mind taking care of Corinne. “It’s okay, Corinne. I’ve already asked for some time off from work. Mister Aaron was actually the one who approved my leave and arranged for another colleague to take over my work for the time being.”

Hearing this, Corinne rolled her eyes at him. ‘He approved of Annie’s time off work, yet he told me he didn’t know she’d be here. Huh! Once a liar, always a liar.’
