Annie nearly choked on the coffee she was drinking. "Cough, cough! Are you saying your girlfriend is Miss Xante?"
Sunny nodded. "That's right."
Annie's jaw nearly dropped to the ground. 'The two of them couldn't be any more different, so how did they end up together?'
"Does that mean…you're going to be the trophy husband in the future?" muttered Annie.
"Oh my god, Annie. You should get your brain checked," said Sunny unhappily. "She's going to marry into my family, not the other way round. If anything, she's going to be the trophy wife."
Annie took another sip of her coffee. "Is there a difference? But I must say, I'm impressed you've managed to snag Miss Xante. After all, she's a workaholic known to shun any advances from other men."
Sunny's eyes lit up. "Really? Is that really true?"
Annie nodded. "Yeah! There were a few good-looking project partners who tried to court Miss Xante, but she turned them all down in the end. They'd send her flowers and buy her bags, but she'd either return the gifts or throw them away. As a matter of fact, some of my colleagues were starting to wonder if she doesn't like guys."
Sunny was very happy to hear that. Frankly, he was a little bummed out by how he and Xante started. He kept wondering if Xante treated other men the same way she treated him, so when Annie told him Xante usually shunned other men, he immediately felt relieved.
'So she's not as wild as she makes herself out to be!' he told himself.
At that moment, the elevator door dinged open, and Edmund walked out with two burly bodyguards. Their target? Sunny Rivera.
"Wha… What are you doing here, Edmund?" cried Sunny with shock.
"Mister Lucas asked me to escort you home."
"No!" exploded Sunny. "I'm not going home! Let go of me!"
Edmund sighed helplessly. He then gestured for the two burly bodyguards to escort Sunny out. After that, he gave Xante a curt nod before following the three of them to the elevator.
Xante sighed with relief, but it was not even one second later when she frowned.
"Why the sad face? Does it hurt you to see him being hauled back like that?" asked Aaron, who was leaning casually against the doorway.
Xante turned around and glared at him. "P*ss off!"
Aaron smiled and shrugged. He then looked at Annie, who was visibly in shock.

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...
