The Day I Kissed An Older Man

Corinne found what Sophia said laughable. “You want me to get out of your way too? Since when was I ever in your way?”

Sophia leaned in and whispered conspiratorially, “I don’t mean it in the physical sense but in the romantic sense.”

Corinne’s eyes turned cold. She found what Sophia said so absurd that she almost laughed. “What does your love life have to do with me?”

Sophia was about to answer when she spotted someone appear behind Corinne. “Jason, what are you doing here?” she asked with a smile.

Jason glanced at Corinne before smiling at Sophia. “I went out to make a call just now. What are you two girls talking about?”

Sophia looked at Jason and then at Corinne as realization hit her. Her grin became even wider as she said, “Corinne has taken an interest in the paintings displayed in this room, so I came to walk with her since I don’t think she should be left alone in her condition. But I have to entertain the other guests soon, so can you please stay with her, Jason?”

Jason smiled. “Of course. Leave her to me.”
