"We want to see how Corinne and the baby are doing and to pass her some supplements too," replied Aaron.
"If that's the case, you don't need me to bring you, right? I mean, I'm sure the Holdens would welcome you if that's all you wanted to do," said Annie, confused.
Aaron raised his eyebrow. "It's better if we bring you. What if they wouldn't let us in? It'll mean we went there for nothing."
Annie thought the whole thing was rather weird, but what Aaron said made some sense as well. Thus, she nodded and said, "Okay. Shall we leave after work?"
"No. We can leave right now if it's okay with you."
"Right now?" Annie blinked and checked the time on her phone. "Well, I am kind of free… Oh, alright. Let's go then."
Annie picked up her bag and shoved her phone inside. She then put on her coat and followed Aaron and Xante to the elevator.
On the way, Aaron saw from the corner of his eyes the same brand of coffee Annie was drinking moments before sitting on top of a male colleague's desk. He even saw Annie and the male colleague exchanging smiles. Not to mention, the male colleague was exactly the one who flirted with her before.
Once the driver drove the car around, Annie got in the front passenger seat while Xante and Aaron sat in the back seat.
Annie looked out of the window and she suddenly thought of something. She took her phone out from her bag and texted Corinne, [Hey, I'm on the way to see you with Mister Aaron and Miss Xante. Is there anything you want me to get for you?]
She waited for a few minutes for Corinne to reply, but when she did not, she exited out of the app. However, a few seconds later, she received a text from Marcus Bing, her colleague.
[Why did you go out with Mister Aaron and Miss Xante?]
[They asked me to help them with some personal matters.]
She quickly shot off another text to Marcus. [Don't worry. I'll make sure to have my lunch. Catch you later.]
[Stay safe. Call me if you need anything.]
[Sure!]
After that, Annie checked one more time for Corinne's reply, but there was none. Thus, she put her phone back into her bag.
Aaron narrowed his eyes when he saw Annie acting suspiciously when she was replying to the messages. He then smiled mockingly and asked, "Someone has a little crush on Marcus, I see?"
'So he was snooping after all! How else would he know who I was texting?' thought Annie 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...
