The Day I Kissed An Older Man novel Chapter 1178

"Quiet down!" roared Jeremy angrily after he came out of his room.

Francine jumped with fright when she heard Jeremy's voice. After that, she suddenly realized something. "Jeremy, you're back. Were… Were you also in the room? What were the two of you doing in there?"

Jeremy did not feel the need to explain himself to Francine, so he simply scolded her, "You should be sleeping at this hour! Go back to your room now."

"No wonder Corinne ran away from home. Anyone would leave a husband like you," muttered Francine under her breath so Jeremy would not hear her. She then glared at Sophia before walking off.

Sophia simply shrugged. "You saw how she treated me, right, Jeremy? That's why I had no choice but to sleep in your room!"

"Please bear with the situation for at least this one night. I'll arrange for you to stay at the hotel tomorrow, and you won't have to see her anymore," said Jeremy glumly.

"Fine."

After that, she went down to the living room to watch the television.

Jeremy did not really care about Sophia. He only came out to stop the fight between Francine and Sophia as he could not stand the shouting.

The moment he went back to his room, he received a call from Tommy. Thinking it was news about Corinne, he quickly answered the phone.

At least, that was the plan. There was an unwritten rule in the construction industry that the architect who designed the building must participate in the ribbon-cutting ceremony. Otherwise, bad luck would befall the building occupants and their safety.

As superstitious as the rule sounded, most of the architects would still choose to join the ribbon-cutting ceremony. After all, being photographed with the building they designed would give them a sense of achievement.

Gradually, what started out as a superstition turned into an irrefutable belief to the extent that if the architect did not show up to the ribbon-cutting ceremony, he or she was as good as cursing for the building occupants to fail.

This went especially for big corporations. All of the buildings they occupied were mostly skyscrapers, so safety was their utmost concern. Even the shareholders insisted the architect had to be present for the ribbon-cutting ceremony.

Superstition aside, who would not want to make sure their business kicked off with a great start?
