"Please don't get angry, Ma'am. I'll go bring Mister Joey back right now," said Bowen.
After that, he went to look for Joey.
"Annie, go and help Bowen. Joey can be a handful sometimes," said Corinne.
"Sure thing, Corinne!" said Annie naively. She had zero clue Corinne was doing this to divert her away.
Finally, only Corinne, Aaron, and Xante were left in the living room. They did not waste time in getting to the crux of the matter.
"Boss, what's going on? Why didn't you pick up or answer any of our messages?" Xante asked in a hushed tone.
"My phone has been tampered with. I can only call or receive calls from Jeremy. It wouldn't work when I tried to call or message you guys."
"What?! Isn't this the same as being kept under house arrest?" scoffed Aaron.
A hint of anger flashed across Corinne's eyes. "I'm guessing he knows I know about the other woman abroad and is afraid I'll run away again. He's doing all this to make sure the baby stays."
"Holy sh*t! You don't think he's going to kick you out of the house after the baby is born, right?" Aaron asked in shock.
Xante kicked him lightly. "Shh! Don't be so loud and act normal. Don't forget where we are right now."
Aaron cleared his throat and sat up straighter. "Ahem! So what do you plan to do, Boss?"
Xante would have given Corinne her phone if it were not for Sunny. She was afraid her boss would find out about their relationship after reading all the nonsensical messages Sunny sent her. She took out her phone and cleared all the chat history before handing her phone to Corinne.
Corinne quickly shoved the phone into a pocket. "Be nice to Miss Pamela later. She'll let her guard down if you can make her happy."
After that, she went to the kitchen to check on Pamela.
The kitchen was spacious and filled with natural sunlight. Even though Pamela said she would cook herself, the staff did not dare to let her do so. Thus, the old woman was relegated to the role of a supervisor.
All the servants bowed respectfully when they saw Corinne coming in.

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...
