The Day I Kissed An Older Man by Cher the Cherished

Sherlyn grabbed the jacket in a hurry and asked, “Be honest, Corinne. Where did you get this suit jacket? How did you even get to know a man who could wear something so expensive?”

Corinne glanced disapprovingly at the clothes. “Is it expensive? Some uncle ‘kindly’ lent me the clothes. It’s not like I know him well, though.”

Sherlyn could tell that Corinne was probably telling the truth since Corinne never saw much of the world before. Sherlyn then made a snide remark, saying, “Someone like you can’t be acquainted with a man who could wear such high-end clothes! You’d better return them after you have them washed.

“Don’t think too highly of yourself and try to associate yourself with him. Men with decent taste will never take a liking to countryside girls like you!”

Corinne chuckled nonchalantly. “By the way, you haven’t answered my earlier question. Where’s your husband?”

Sherlyn’s face soured in an instant. Seeing as Corinne appeared to be in the dark over the details, she put on a haughty demeanor and said, “Ahem! I changed my mind at the last minute yesterday and decided not to get married anymore. I want to remain a single upper-class woman, no husband necessary!”

“You decided not to get married?” Corinne cocked an eyebrow out of curiosity. “Why? The Holdens are a first-tier family. Do you look down on a family like theirs?”

Sherlyn snorted disdainfully. “Who cares if they’re a first-tier family? I can choose to marry any man I want. All I have to do is this.” She made a come-hither movement with her index finger. “Jeremy has never had a girlfriend, even though he’s already 30 years old, so it’s pretty clear that he has some sort of health issue there. He might not even be able to do it! I sure as hell ain’t gonna marry someone just to have a dull marriage. It doesn’t matter how obsessed he is with me or how hard he begs to marry me!”

Corinne nearly laughed out loud as she nodded. “You sure did put a lot of thought into it. You dodged a big one there, so congratulations!”

After packing her luggage, Corinne brought it with her and left the home after briefly saying goodbye to Marvin. Sherlyn, on the other hand, secretly began driving to catch up with Corinne’s taxi. She wanted to find out who it was that lent Corinne the jacket.

After all, someone who could commission such high-end bespoke clothes almost certainly had a net worth of billions.

The failed wedding had been nothing short of a sheer embarrassment. If she could use that opportunity to get together with a tall, rich, and handsome man, she could finally regain her pride in front of all her relatives and friends!

The taxi drove toward Old Town Street and stopped there. Corinne got out, dragged her luggage bag to a small dingy restaurant, and sat by herself to eat.
