The Day I Kissed An Older Man – Chapter 100

Chapter 100

“Don’t cry. You won’t look pretty anymore if your tears smudge your makeup.”

Zeke gracefully took out a handkerchief from the inner breast pocket of his jacket and wiped Ivanka’s tears skillfully and gently.

Ivanka’s heart throbbed as a handsome, noble man showed such concern for her. She felt even more convinced of her attractiveness.

‘He must be the Prince Charming who came to save me!’ she gushed inwardly.

She moved a little closer to Zeke’s arms and said coquettishly, “Thank you. I’m fine now.”

“I’m very happy to hear that.” Zeke pursed his lips and gently placed the handkerchief in her hand. “I heard someone playing the ukulele from the next room. It was such a marvelous tune. Was it you who played it?”

Ivanka’s expression froze. She did not know how to answer. Telling the truth would only give Corinne another chance to shine in front of her Prince Charming. After thinking for a moment, she deliberately gave a vague reply, “Sir, the tune you just heard was played on this ukulele, but it’s a pity that it’s now damaged.”

“Tsk! The person who broke this ukulele is such a despicable person.” Zeke frowned slightly and finally raised his gaze to look at Corinne. “Why’d you break her ukulele, sis?”

‘Sis? I’m not your sis!’ Corinne cocked an eyebrow and looked at Zeke with disgust. As if Jeremy wasn’t weird enough, his friend was just as strange! Perhaps birds of a feather do flock together after all.

Ivanka was stunned and widened her eyes in surprise. “Sir, what did you just…call her?”

“Sis, I called her ‘sis’. Is something the matter?” Zeke smiled. His handsome eyes narrowed into crescents, with hints of playfulness.

Ivanka’s expression turned ugly in disbelief. “She… How is she your sis?”

Zeke smiled matter-of-factly, “She’s the woman of one of my sworn brothers, so of course she’s my sis.”

“A sworn brother’s woman?!” Ivanka was shocked. She looked at Zeke, then at Corinne, unwilling to accept reality.

‘Why does this wretch Corinne have anything to do with my Prince Charming? It’s so annoying!’

With a smile, Zeke turned to look at the man standing at the door nearby. “Stop watching and get over here. Your little cutie damaged this other girl’s ukulele!”

Corinne turned and saw Jeremy walking calmly over, his hands in his trouser pockets.

Zeke took the ukulele from Ivanka and handed it to Jeremy with a smile. “See those scratches? Your little cutie did this, apparently.”

Jeremy’s downcast eyes glanced at the instrument. Then, out of the blue, he slammed it forcefully against the wall. A loud shatter echoed as the ukulele’s pieces fell to the floor, leaving only the neck in his hand. He then tossed the neck aside like trash.

Ivanka came to her senses and yelled, “My ukulele!”

Jeremy’s expression remained cold as he ordered, “Compensate her, Tommy.”

Tommy nodded. “Yes, sir.”

Jeremy ignored everything else and turned to Corinne, narrowing his cold eyes slightly. “Is the gathering over?”

Corinne was speechless after seeing him obliterate the ukulele. Her lips twitched as she answered drily, “Yeah… We can go home now.”

“Let’s go then.” Jeremy raised his arms and gently hooked them over Corinne’s shoulders, leading her away.

They had not walked far when Corinne stopped suddenly. She turned back and said, “Mister Tommy, please compensate her for the ukulele at its original price. Your boss won’t reimburse you if you pay her more than that.”

“Uh…” Tommy’s lips twitched, and he could only nod. “Understood, Miss Corinne.”

After leaving Tommy with those instructions, Corinne walked out of the party ground with Jeremy.
