The Day I Kissed An Older Man novel Chapter 494

Chapter 494

Lucas stiffened slightly, turned around to look at the source of the voice, and saw Corinne slipping through the crowd of onlookers from behind.

She walked up naturally to Lucas and asked, “Is there anything I can help you with, Mister Lucas?”

Cole, Anya, and Rosie were all shocked by what happened. They were dumbstruck as to why.

Corinne was outside.

Lucas looked at her intently and asked, “Where did you go?”

Corinne answered calmly, “I didn’t go anywhere. I was waiting downstairs for you to come back, but when I saw a lot of people running upstairs, I thought that maybe something serious happened. I followed everyone up to see what was happening. I heard you calling my name as soon as I came up, so I can’t help but feel curious as to why you’d look for me here.”

Lucas was speechless. ‘How am I supposed to answer her? Do I tell her that I thought she was fooling around with another man?”

Rosie did not believe Corinne one bit, so she came forward to cast doubt on the latter’s statement.

“Don’t act stupid, Corinne. I just saw you enter this room with Cole! You must’ve escaped in the chaos, and now, you’re trying to pretend as if you just came from downstairs!”

Corinne looked at Rosie inexplicably, as if she could not understand what the woman was saying. “Who’s Cole?”

Rosie glared at the exquisite makeup on Corinne’s face as said, “Are you still going to play dumb?”

Corinne frowned. She was speechless at Rosie’s remark and aggrieved by the accusation.

“I have no beef with you, Miss Rosie. Why do you need to slander me all the time? Are you bearing a grudge against me because you weren’t able to accompany Mister Lucas as his female companion today?”

She then turned around to look at Lucas. “Mister Lucas, perhaps next time you shouldn’t let at secretary like me accompany you to attend theee non-work settings. I’ll become an easy target for those who have a crush on you, and they’ll see me as their rival. This’ll only cause unnecessary trouble for the both of us.”

Rosie’s face soured at once and she explained hurriedly, “Don’t listen to her nonsense, Lucas! I’m not like that. I’m certain I saw Corinne and Cole enter the room earlier!”
