The Day I Kissed An Older Man
Chapter 30
The second floor of Twilight hosted high-end sound-proofed private VIP rooms from the noisy bar
downstairs. The two floors were practically worlds
apart.
Corinneâs call to Annie went unanswered, and she did not know which room Annie was in.
The barâs general manager saw Corinne and came forward respectfully. âMiss Corinne, are you looking
for Mister Aaron?â
Corinne shook her head and asked, âDid you see which room Annie Levine went to?â
The manager said, âI did not. We havenât received anyone from the Levines today.â
Annie probably did not go through the normal registration process because she sneaked up to follow
Jeremy. Corinne thought for a while and asked, âWhich room is Jeremy in, then?â
The manager answered truthfully, âHeâs in the Snow Room.â
The Snow Room was the largest and most luxurious VIP room in Twilight, reserved only for the most
elite of guests.
Just as she was about to go to the Snow Room to see if Annie was there, Sherlynâs rowdy voice came
from behind. âIâm here to look for someone! Get out of the way, and donât stop me from going any
further!â
The awkward host dissuaded Sherlyn, âThe Snow Room is a VIP room, and thereâs a private gathering
going on inside. Youâre not allowed there because your name isnât on the invitation list.â
Corinne turned around and happened to see Sherlyn.
Sherlyn froze for a moment, then immediately frowned in disgust. âWhat are you doing here, Corinne?â
She still held a grudge against Corinne for causing her car to be towed away by the traffic police and
being forced to buy a bunch of luxury clothes that were not even the right size.
Corinneâs expression remained calm as ever. âIâm here to look for someone too.â
Sherlyn reacted as if she heard the funniest joke ever, and she looked at Corinneâs clothes from head
to toe. contemptuously. âWho could you possibly be looking for in such a place? The Snow Room up
ahead is a high- end VIP room, and the guests there are all rich folks. Do you really expect to get in
there when youâre dressed like youâre fresh out of the flea market? You sure crack me up!â
Corinne did not pay much attention to fashion as long as she felt comfortable enough. Her clothes
might look simple and elegant, but their materials were made of high quality and were far from being
inferiorly cheap.
The only aspect that they lacked was a logo from a big brand.
Twilightâs manager stepped forward and asked respectfully, âDo you need our help to deal with the
trouble, miss?â
Sherlyn smiled smugly and commanded arrogantly, âShow this shameful woman out the door! Twilight
is one of the most high-end bars in New Capital City, so you should be mindful not to let any country
bumpkins lower your luxury standards!â
The manager was looking at Corinne instead of Sherlyn, and he was respectfully waiting for further
instructions from Corinne.
Corinne waved her hand lazily. âYou may act according to the normal course of regulations. Iâll have a
look
inside the Snow Room.â
âOf course.â The manager bowed and stretched out his hand in a gesture for Corinne to go in.
Corinne walked toward the Snow Room without a hitch. No one stopped her as she made her way
there, and she could easily push the door open and enter.
Sherlyn was dumbstruck. She could not understand what was going on and was just about to follow
Corinne when the security personnel that the manager had called stopped her. âDonât blame us for
having to take stern action on you if you insist on forcing your way in there!â
Sherlyn was markedly displeased. âWhy is that woman in cheap clothes allowed to enter the Snow
Room when I in all my luxury-branded things arenât allowed in? Do you know who I am? Iâm Sherlyn,
the popular actress who played the lead role âThe Princess Knows Bestâ!â
The security staff shot her a fierce glare. âWhether youâre an actress or a princess doesnât matter to us.
Weâre only following the rules and doing our job. Please abide by the regulations of this establishment
and leave right away!â
The tough security guards intimidated her, and she could neither enter the Snow Room nor fight back.
Gritting her teeth, she resentfully snapped, âWho was that woman who just walked in? Why is your
manager so respectful to her?â
âWe cannot comment on matters involving the privacy of our guests.â
Sherlyn was fuming when she did not get an answer.
She could not figure out how Corinne managed to do it and wondered if it was because Corinne had
gotten. involved with a wealthy family by becoming a maid. Sherlyn decided that she would not be
leaving anytime soon. After all, she wanted to see just who it was that Corinne would come out with.
Sherlynâs original purpose there was to look for her former benefactor, the one she impulsively broke
off her relationship with because she mistakenly thought that she could marry into a wealthy family. It
was also during that time that she terminated her contract and quit the industry, leaving her jobless for
a time.
When she went to the agency to discuss the contract renewal, the agency said that she had been
blacklisted and that they were already recruiting new faces. Infuriated, she later found out that her
former benefactor was here with some friends, so she went there in the hopes she could reconcile with
him so he could continue to support her and give her opportunities.
