The Day I Kissed An Older Man novel Chapter 1356

"Yeah, it's probably Mister Aaron," answered Annie honestly. "In fact, we came together, so he and Xante would give me a ride back later."

Marcus finally could not hold back the question he had been wanting to ask. "Annie, just what is your relationship with Mister Aaron?"

Annie was taken aback by his question. "Marcus, why do you ask? Nothing is going on between us!" she said embarrassingly.

"In that case, why does it seem like he cares a lot about you? I even heard from my colleagues that you first came to work in the company because of him! Is that true?"

"Uhhh… Yes. It's true."

Marcus felt unbelievably disappointed by Annie's reply, but at the same time, he was grateful for her honesty.

"Annie, thank you for being honest with me. Then do you still like him now?"

Annie wanted to avoid answering this question but could not.

"It doesn't matter whether I still like him or not because we're never going to end up together. Marcus, you have nothing to worry about. I promised to take our relationship seriously the moment I agreed to be your girlfriend."

Marcus could not help but feel despondent. "Annie, how can I not worry when it feels like I'm an outsider in your world? I feel lost and confused, do you know that?"

"Marcus, I—"

"Annie, I'm going to go pick you up now. I'll believe you're serious about me if you agree to let me do that, but if you don't… Well, I promise I won't ever bother you again."

After thinking it through, she said with some difficulty, "I'm really sorry, Marcus, but this isn't a good time. Uncle Jeremy asked me to stay with Corinne for the moment."

Marcus let out a bitter chuckle. "Okay, I understand. I won't ever bother you again. Goodbye, Annie."

He then ended the call without waiting for Annie's explanation.

Annie fell into a daze when she heard the beeps coming from her phone. 'Did I just get dumped?' she wondered.
