The Day I Kissed An Older Man novel Chapter 1109

Corinne pushed Jeremy's hand away and turned her head to the side. "Do I need to spell it out for you? You know very well what you've done to upset me!" she grumbled.

Jeremy's hand froze. His eyebrow came up as he tried to recall what he could have done to upset Corinne so much, but he could not recall anything.

"Why are you angry at me? I didn't even get angry at you when you wouldn't allow me to kiss you! What else do you want from me?"

Corinne could not help but blush when she heard Jeremy say the word 'kiss' so naturally, but it did nothing to ease the anger flaring up inside of her.

'Since we have come to this point, I might as well spell it out for him,' she thought.

"Jeremy Holden!" Corinne called him by his full name. Since she rarely did that, Jeremy knew just how much of a trouble he was in.

"Yes, I'm listening," he said solemnly.

Corinne looked straight into his eyes. "Did you or did you not spend the night with another woman while you were abroad?"

Jeremy was quite taken aback by the question, but realization finally dawned on him. "So you're angry at me because of that? And here I was, trying to figure out why you're giving me the cold shoulder when I've only been away for a few days."

Corinne became even angrier when she saw he had no intention to explain himself. Instead, he was trying to change the topic!

"Well, aren't you going to explain yourself? I should warn you though, you better make sure I don't find out the truth if you plan to lie to me. Otherwise, you can say goodbye to me forever!"

Corinne was disappointed. She might have forgiven him if he had told her the truth. Heck, she might have even believed him if he had told her the woman was a female friend or business partner who, through some unfortunate events, had no choice but to share a room with him and that nothing happened between them.

However, the fact that he straight-out denied everything meant he was lying!

Seeing the disappointment in Corinne's face, Jeremy frowned and quickly explained, "You're right. I was sleeping. But it wasn't at the hotel. I've been staying at the office 'cause I've been pulling one all-nighter after another ever since I landed. That's just how bad the situation abroad is.

"The woman who answered the call was a secretary. She just happened to come in to clean up my office when you called so she thought she'd help me take a message. I called you back the other day to explain, but you didn't answer, and it slipped my mind after that.

"My work schedule abroad was so grueling to the point I couldn't find any time to contact you. Also, I was afraid that I'd want to fly back the moment I heard your voice. That's why I've been forcing myself to not look at my phone. And guess what? I did! I immediately took the red-eye flight back here after you called me yesterday."
