The Day I Kissed An Older Man
Chapter 108
The maid stopped and answered, âMadam Pamela is leaving, maâam.â
âGrandma is leaving?â thought Corinne.
She began fearing for the worst, worried that what Francine did yesterday had scarred Pamela. Just
then, she heard her calling her name softly.
âCorinne.â
She looked up and saw Pamela walking over slowly to her.
âGrandma, I heard that youâre leaving,â Corinne said.
Pamela smiled kindly and sighed helplessly. âThatâs right. I need to go back to your grandfather. That
stubborn old man refused to listen, even after he had just had his operation. He doesnât follow the
doctorâs orders when Iâm not around, so I need to go back and keep an eye on him.â
âI see.â Once Corinne knew that was the reason why Pamela had to go back, she knew better than to
ask her to stay longer. âGrandma, you have to look after yourself too. Have a safe journey home.
â
Pamela nodded and held Corinneâs hand softly. âCorinne, I know youâve been through a lot after you
married Jeremy. Francine had gone too far. Donât worry. When sheâs released, Iâll send someone to
pick her up and send her to let her grandfather so heâll lecture her. I wonât let her stay here anymore
and cause more trouble for you two.â
It was rare to have an old lady, who loved her granddaughter so much, to acknowledge her
granddaughter had been mean to another person.
Corinne was touched by Pamelaâs thoughtfulness. âThank you for being so understanding.â
âOh, and Corinne? After I leave, you and Jeremy have to keep on working hard, too!â
âWork hard?â Corinne was baffled by this.
When she saw the meaningful smile on Pamelaâs face, she quickly realized what she was implying.
She thus blushed.
Nonetheless, she forced a smile. âOh, aha⦠Donât worry, we will!â
Pamela was thrilled to hear this. âThen, Iâll be waiting for the good news!â
Corinne replied, âOkayâ¦â
Pamela was bound to be disappointed because there was never going to be good news from her and
Jeremy. The next time Pamela would return, her contract with Jeremy would probably draw -to a close,
and she would have to leave.
â
Jeremy had instructed Tommy to send Pamela to the airport.
Pamela had been kind to Corinne the whole time she was with them, so Corinne decided to go to the
airport together and send her off.
When she bid her farewell to Pamela and left the airport, Tommy passed her a job application form in
the car.
âMiss Carew. Sir has asked me to arrange a job for you because he knows youâll need to look for a job
since youâve graduated,â Tommy said.
Surprised, Corinne raised an eyebrow and looked at the form. âSo what kind of job do you intend to
give me?â
Tommy started the car engine and answered, âMiss Carew, please fill out this form first. Iâll let the
human resource department arrange a suitable job for you based on your preference.â
It was a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to work in Holden Group. However, Corinne was not that
interested in it.
The thought that she could be freed from Jeremyâs control during the three months struck her all of a
sudden.
âWhy donât I follow his arrangement and make use of the time, though?â she thought.
She placed the form on the seat and said, âIâm not going to fill it. I donât care what job it is, as long as
the pay is high enough!â
Tommy admitted he admired Corinne for being so direct. His lips stretched and said, âErr⦠Alright. Iâll
bring you to get started after I arrange everything.â
âNo. Letâs go do it now. Thereâs nothing for me to do when I go back anyway!â Corinne insisted.
â⦠Alright.â
Thus, Tommy drove the car to head toward a subsidiary under Holden Group.
