The Day I Kissed An Older Man
Chapter 893
Aaron would often sport a playful smile, but he traded that playfulness with sternness whenever he was
at work. âDonât worry, boss. Iâll send someone over to keep watch every day.â
Corinne fully trusted Aaronâs capabilities, but she felt a little uneasy if she did not visit the place and
check it herself.
When Aaron saw her meticulousness compared to previous projects, he jokingly said, âYou seem to
care about Mister Jeremy a lot, boss. Youâre pretty invested in his future workplace!â
Corinne frowned. âMy concern is whether or not the end product can satisfy our client. I can redraw the
design, but I wonât be able to demolish the building and rebuild it if something goes wrong.â
Aaron smiled knowingly and handed her an uncapped bottle of mineral water. âAlright, alright! Iâll keep
an eye on things over here so you donât need to come here all the time. Youâre pregnant, for heavensâ
sake! Pregnant women canât go to construction sites.â
Corinne took the mineral water Aaron handed to her and was about to drink it, but she spotted a
familiar figure from the corner of her eye.
A tall man dressed in a suit with a slicked-backed hairstyle was approaching from a distance. Several
subordinates were with the man, and the leader of the engineering team brought them around the
construction site.
It was Jeremy!
Corinne turned around almost reflexively and quickly hid behind a nearby truck.
Aaron squatted with her, too.
At the far end, Jeremy halted his footsteps as if he noticed something. His sharp eyes stared at the
nearby truck. âDo you have female workers on your engineering team?â
The leader was taken aback by the question and scratched his head. âNo, not at all! Women are
neither capable nor willing to do such a laborious, dirty job!â
Jeremy narrowed his eyes, averted his gaze, and followed the engineering team leader to the other
end.
When he walked off, Aaron poked his head out to look at Jeremyâs back. âWhy are you hiding, boss?
Isnât he your husband? Why are you afraid of being seen by your husband?â
Corinne leaned lazily against the truck. âAll he knows is that I have shares in Newmoon Group, but
thatâs all. I donât want him to know my true position in the company, at least not now. I also donât want
him to find out that Iâm Moon, or that I did the design for the Holden Groupâs building.â
Aaron was puzzled. âDidnât you say the other day that you wanted your relationship with him to be built
on honesty and trust?
â1
Corinne drank a big sip of water and said, âTrust and honesty must go both ways. Only an idiot would
show trust and honesty without receiving the same in return!â
Aaron could sense that something was amiss. âDid you argue with him?â
Corinne had an unimpressed expression. âNo.â
âThen why-â Aaronâs sentence was interrupted by his blaring ringtone.
âHold on a sec while I answer this call.â Aaron took out his phone, walked a few steps away, and
answered, âIâm at the construction site now. Whatâs up? No, Iâm not hungry. You can go ahead and eat
without me! Fine, just put it on my desk. Iâll eat it once Iâm back at the office. Okay, focus on your work.â
After ending the call, Aaron turned around and said, âWhere was I?â
Corinne ignored his question and asked instead, âWho was it?â
Aaron shrugged and confessed, âSome clerk who wants to hit on me. Sheâs been bringing me all sorts
of delicious food
recently, and Iâm putting on so much weight that my abs are going to turn into a lump of fat!â
Corinne frowned. âDonât you dare hit on her.â
Aaronâs eyes glimmered. âYou know her?â
