The Day I Kissed An Older Man

Sophia put the container of cut fruits on the table and sat on the chair across from Jeremy. She then opened the container and said with a smile, “Okay, it is boring here, but you’re here! I want to meet new friends and challenge myself in different areas to make the most out of my life. I mean, isn’t that the point of living? Experiencing new stuff and stepping out of one’s comfort zone?”

As she spoke, she picked up a piece of chilled watermelon with a fork and passed it to Jeremy.

Jeremy’s head was throbbing from the long meeting and the photos Tommy sent. He took the fork from Sophia’s hand and put the chilled watermelon inside his mouth to allow the coldness to wash away his annoyance.

Sophia picked up a piece of watermelon and took a small bite. She then blinked and said curiously, “Jeremy, Miss Corinne must’ve treated you very well in the past for you to like her this much, huh?”

Jeremy frowned at the mention of Corinne’s name. After a long while, he asked her back, “How well does she have to treat me to be called treating me well?”
