"You're right, Mister Aaron. My uncle would do what you said, but I don't want to live under his protection forever. I want to learn how to be independent," explained Annie.
Aaron was quite impressed by her attitude. "Huh, not bad. Was your colleague flirting with you just now?"
The sudden change of topic shocked Annie. "No. He was asking me for help with his document. His stapler was broken, you see."
Aaron obviously did not believe her. "He's quite the catch. He graduated from a famous university. Good-looking. Tall. You can consider him since our company has no policy against office romance."
Annie's gaze wavered for a second before her eyebrows furrowed as she frowned. She felt unbelievably humiliated, but she did not blow up at Aaron. She simply nodded and said, "Okay. I'll consider him if he shows signs of being interested in me. Thank you for your concern, Mister Aaron."
After a moment of awkward silence, Aaron smiled and said, "Well, time for you to get back to work now. If anyone comes to find me, tell me I'm at Xante's office."
"Yes, Mister Aaron."
Aaron started making his way over to Xante's office. At some point, he tugged at his tie to loosen it.
For some reason, he felt like he was suffocating.
Xante's office was only a few steps from his. Given their relationship, he never knocked to announce his arrival.
Instead, he simply opened the door and said, "Hey Xante, did the boss call you? I don't know why but I've been feeling an—"
He stopped talking at the shocking sight before him.
Xante was pinned to the floor-to-ceiling window by a man who was sucking and kissing her neck.
'I know that guy! He's Sunny Rivera!' thought Aaron in shock.
Instead of being angry, Aaron laughed. "And you do? Is that why you were kissing her just now?" he asked with a smirk.
Sunny's face immediately turned red from the teasing. "At least I… I have more rights than you! Just… Just keep your boundaries in the future!"
Aaron raised his eyebrow. "Why do you have more right than I do?"
Sunny's face turned even red. "B—Because she…she's my g…"
Aaron grinned wider. "Yes? Go on. She's your, what?"
Sunny was too proud to finish his sentence, so he nudged Xante. "Hey, tell him what we are!"

The readers' comments on the novel: The Day I Kissed An Older Man
This book is a good book, but it’s too short. I hope it has a part two👍🏾...
This book is getting boring now. I loved Jeremy, Corinne, Sonny and Lucas. The story needs to end. or bring back more of Jeremy, etc....
I haven't skipped any chapter at all. Though the story is good, it keeps going back to base one. I think this has no ending at all and somehow after reading more than 2500 chapters it's kinda tiring already. They have drained all the thrills....
Great writing! I almost cried when Helen hit Melody! So sad! 😭 can’t wait to see how the relationship with her and Lucas develops though. So tired of the repetitive problems with different people....
Yikes my body tenses so much, my moods change as the scenes change. It leaves me wanting to continue reading....
my heart breaks for melody, so many ups and downs, i shed a few tears when lucas walked by melody carrying thalia, and melody stayed quiet while watching them leave. i find myself getting into character as if im one. i dont remember ever feeling like that in any other books. im thankful the 10 chapters/day. waiting for the next 10...
We have updated progress from 7 chapters/day to 10 chapters/day.<3...
i love grandma Beatrice, there needs to me more people like her in the world straight forward and to the point, no beating around the bush and worrying about offending anyone, why pretend to be someone your not....
looking forward to more chapters, The same thing is happening to Melody as what happened to Luna, if Luna was back maybe she would set Lucas straight, can't wait to see how Lucas handles the situations that will arrive. Poor Melody....
ya Lucas pay more attention to Melody lets see what happens waiting for more chapters thanks...
