The Day I Kissed An Older Man by Cher the Cherished

Chapter 1305

Jeremy commented on Corinne’s post, [Don’t be afraid. I’m here.]

When he ignored Sophia and focused entirely on typing something on the phone, she became a little impatient and

said to him, “Jeremy? Are you listening to me?”

Jeremy glanced at her and asked, “Have you gathered all the documents?”

A guilty twinge flashed across Sophia’s eyes. “Umm… It’s a little difficult to re-issue everything across countries. It

would take a while for them to send it over.”

She had lied that she had lost her certificate and used that as an excuse to keep procrastinating as there was no

way for her to revoke the marriage. She also ‘lost’ her passport, so it was very difficult for her to fly back to make a

new application.

Jeremy said, “Get it done as soon as you can.”

Sophia nodded, but she then said to him, “I don’t mind maintaining things as they are now, Jeremy! I can always

help you and Corinne to avoid certain issues. Isn’t that a good thing?”

Jeremy answered coldly, “I mind.”

Sophia had an awkward expression and forced a smile. “You’re worried that Corinne might misunderstand us, right?

I get it. I’ll tell my dad later and see if he can get someone to fast-track the process!”

Jeremy grunted absent-mindedly and stared quietly at his phone. He was waiting for Corinne to reply to his

comment.

When Sophia saw that Jeremy was in no mood to talk to her, she finally seemed to be able to read the room. “In

that case, you should continue with your work then, Jeremy! I won’t bother you anymore. See you some other

time!”

“Wait.” He looked at her and stopped her.

Sophia halted her footsteps with surprise on her face. “Yes, Jeremy?”

He gestured to the gift box on the table with his chin. “Take those away. I don’t eat that sort of thing.”

Sophia’s expression froze, and she said hypocritically, “Let Corinne try them, then. Girls love chocolate!”

“I’m not going to give her something I don’t want. If she wants some chocolate, I can always buy them for her,”

Jeremy said pointedly.

Sophia just picked up the box of chocolates to avoid any further embarrassment. “You’re right. I didn’t consider

that. I’ll take it away then! See you some other time!”

Jeremy nodded. “I hope your certificate has been reissued the next time I see you.”

Sophia had an ugly look on her face. Jeremy was implying that he would only see her if he was able to revoke that

meaningless marriage certificate.

Although her mood had been ruined, she pretended to stay calm and said, “Okay. Don’t worry so much about it!”

When Sophia left, Jeremy stood by the desk and continued to stare at the phone. He wanted Corinne to reply, but

she never did. He tugged on his tie and felt a little annoyed.

He reached out to dial a number in the office telephone on his desk and called for his secretary. “Get some guys to

replace my office chair with a new one. Throw this old one away.”

His secretary was a little puzzled, but she kept quiet and refrained from asking her the reason. “Understood, sir.”

Minutes later, a new office chair was brought in, and the old one was disposed of.
