The Day I Kissed An Older Man novel Chapter 1121

Corinne clenched her fists. She then quickly took out her phone to call Jeremy, who she previously had no intention of ever contacting again.

Jeremy picked up soon enough, but he did not greet or say anything to her.

"Jeremy Holden, just what do you think you're doing?" Corinne asked angrily.

"So that's how you're going to address me from now on? Is this your way of showing me you don't want to be with me anymore?" Jeremy asked raspily.

Corinne did not call him to talk about that!

"Mister Jeremy, we're not kids anymore. Don't you think it's very childish of me to keep me under house arrest just because you're angry at me?"

"Heh. And here I thought you didn't know I was angry at you," replied Jeremy sarcastically.

Corinne tried to suppress her anger as she knew it would just make things worse.

"Call off your men! I need to go out."

"For what?"

"Since when do I need to report to you every little detail of what I plan to do? Where's my freedom in all of this?"

"The moment you married me, you gave up your freedom. After all, it's normal for a husband and wife to keep a tight leash on each other," replied Jeremy in a neutral tone.

"Jeremy Holden! We're not legally married, so you have no right to take away my freedom!" shouted Corinne, unable to hold back her anger anymore.

Aaron found this weird. In the past, she would have ignored any flirting coming her way. He narrowed his eyes, curious as to why Annie would still work there after how he treated her.

The subordinate's expression immediately became serious when he realized Aaron was staring at them. He then cleared his throat, greeted Aaron, and took the files Annie prepared for him back to his seat.

Annie was startled to see Aaron standing there too. She quickly got up and bowed to him. "Is there anything I can do for you, Mister Aaron?" she said professionally.

Aaron smiled and walked over to her. "Not at the moment. But I must say, I'm quite surprised to see you here."

"I quite like the perks and benefits this job provides, so unless the company fires me, I have no reason to resign," replied Annie politely.

Aaron raised his eyebrow. "Won't it be better for you to work at your uncle's company? I'm sure he'll arrange for you to work in a better position with a higher salary. Plus, you won't need to make coffee for anyone there."
