The Day I Kissed An Older Man
Chapter 1193

Chapter 1193

Moon was very well-known in the architecture industry. However, she did not have a single public photo like Jeremy. Everyone knew her only by her name.

There were rumors that she never revealed herself because she was young and beautiful. Since the reporters would not be able to photograph Jeremy, they could at least have a scoop if they were able to take a photograph of her!

The reporters waited excitedly for Moon to take the stage, only to be disappointed when she was not the rumored beautiful young woman they expected. She was a slightly obese woman who wore shabby clothes, a hat, and a mask. None of the reporters were as keen as they were anymore.

Corinne wore a thick layer of clothes. She straightened her waist and walked onto the stage, trying to look like she was just obese instead of pregnant. She had been nervous before coming, worried Jeremy would be around. However, Jason managed to get some inside information that Jeremy might not be attending the ribbon-cutting ceremony.

She could conduct herself calmly if she did not have to meet that man.

After introducing all the guests, the emcee waited for a while and looked down the platform as if waiting for someone. It was not until one of the staff ran up to the stage and whispered something in his ear that he proceeded with the next part of the ceremony. He announced to the eager reporters that they had to proceed without Jeremy as he could not attend the ceremony due to certain matters.

Although the reporters were disappointed, there was nothing they could do about it except do their job and snap pictures of the event.

When Corinne heard that the emcee’s announcement was the same as what Jason notified her, she felt reassured and continued with the remainder of the ceremony with peace of mind.

The ribbon-cutting ceremony was grand. After Corinne finished cutting the ribbon with all the guests, she slipped away under cover of all the excitement and hid in a corner.

Her job was done, and she only needed to wait for the car that Jason arranged to pick her up. She wanted to use that opportunity to meet Aaron and Xante, but Xante had sent her a message saying that Jeremy was suspicious of them. For the sake of their safety, she ultimately decided against it.

Jason’s men were unfortunately stuck in a traffic jam, so they called her and asked her to find a place to rest. That was Corinne’s intention from the beginning. Being eight months pregnant, she was no longer as nimble as before. Standing for a long time would make her very tired, and her back would start to hurt as well.Books Chapters Are Daily Updated Join & Stay Updated For All Books Updates…

She looked at the completed building and felt the urge to look inside. Jeremy was not going to be there anyway, so she could rest there in the meantime. Once she made her decision, she walked slowly into the building. The general structure was her design, but the interior decor was designed by someone else. It was simple yet luxurious, and there was a bit of indifference that was similar to character.

Then again, his true character was not indifferent—it was all just play-pretend.

Since she was already inside the building, she thought of going upstairs to have a look. When she first designed it, she put a lot of thought into the floor where the president’s office was located.

She had a good impression of him at the time, so she unconsciously spent a lot of thought on designing the vision and layout of his office. Though the ceremony mentioned the ‘relocating’ of the Holden Group, none of the important departments have officially moved there as the large-scale move might disrupt the company’s daily operations. No one was in the entire building, save for the janitors who were cleaning everything to prepare for the big move.

Knowing not many people were around, Corinne boldly pressed the elevator button and went upstairs. The place upstairs was relatively empty but for a few employees. When they saw her coming over, they asked who she was and what business she had, to which she replied by showing the temporary access card issued to her by the staff downstairs. She explained that she was the designer of the building. The employees did not doubt her after seeing her access card and were very polite to her. They even welcomed her to have a look around.
