The Day I Kissed An Older Man novel Chapter 1135

However, since this was the first time Pamela met Aaron and Xante, she did not feel comfortable leaving Corinne alone with them. As much as she knew everyone was so quiet because of her, she did not plan to leave.

"I overheard you kids say you want to play bridge? Well, that just happens to be my favorite card game! It's such a shame I don't get to play it as often as I like, so I hope you don't mind letting me join," said Pamela after sipping her tea.

Both Aaron and Xante were speechless while Corinne sat still expressionlessly.

Only Annie smiled and said, "Sure! You can team up with me since I don't know how to play bridge at all. I'll be more than happy to learn a thing or two from a veteran like you."

"No problem! I guarantee you'll be a pro by the end of the day. So, when shall we start?" asked Pamela.

Everyone looked at each other.

Finally, Corinne said, "Let's play after lunch. It'd be rude to let my friends play on an empty stomach since they took the trouble to come all the way here."

Pamela could tell from Corinne's tone that she was not happy. She laughed to hide her embarrassment and then said, "You're right. Let's play after lunch. Don't worry, Corinne. I'll never let your friends go hungry."

"Is that so? I thought you Holdens are shameless enough to do anything."

Pamela's smile froze. Nonetheless, she got up, saying, "Well, I guess I should head to the kitchen, then. You kids are in for a treat as I'll personally cook for you. Stay here and chat for a while."

Annie got up too. "Ma'am, allow me to help you."

Pamela smiled and waved her hand. "There's no need, Annie. I'll get the servants to help me. You stay here and chat with Corinne."

"Ma'am, the maid will take care of Mister Joey. There's nothing to worry about."

Corinne's eyes dimmed. "So what you're saying is, eavesdropping on me and my friends is more important than Joey's safety?"

"No, Ma'am!" exclaimed Bowen embarrassedly. "I'm not eavesdropping on you or your friends. I'm just standing by here in case you have any orders for me. Also, it's important for me to make sure your friends have a pleasant visit."

Corinne smiled coldly. "If you're worried about my friends not having a pleasant visit, you wouldn't have made them go through the ridiculous security checks."

"We're just doing what Mister Jeremy asked us to do…"

Corinne waved her hand. "Fine, whatever. You don't have to explain it to me. I'm only going to ask you one last time: Are you or are you not going to help me look after Joey?"
