The Day I Kissed An Older Man novel Chapter 359

Chapter 359

Sunny stayed behind in the dining room, waiting for Corinne and Jeremy to give out his punishment.

The maid placed a steaming hot plate of breakfast food in front of Corinne, who was so hungry that she immediately dug in. As she was shoveling the bacon and egg into her mouth, she sensed a pair of eyes boring into her. She did not know how to describe the look, but the closest she could get was that it felt like she was being entwined by a flaming thread that was getting tighter around her body.

She instinctively frowned and glared at Jeremy. “Mister, why are you still here? Shouldn’t you be off to work right now?”

Jeremy furrowed his brow in mock anger. “You just can’t wait for me to leave, huh?”
