"Who?" Aaron and Xante asked.
"You'll know soon enough if he's willing to help me." Corinne felt that it was best not to tell them who she planned to seek help from until she was sure that person was willing to help.
Aaron and Xante looked at each other. Neither could guess who Corinne wanted to seek.
The three of them had lunch in the bedroom. When Corinne asked someone to come in to clean up the dishes, Bowen followed the servants in and passed on a message. "Ma'am, the card table has been set up. Madam Pamela invited you and your friends for a round of card games."
'Guess she hasn't forgotten about the card game, then…' Corinne thought. She nodded and said, "We'll head down right away."
After Bowen excused himself, Corinne turned and told the two of them, "We're playing card games with her."
Although Aaron and Xante were hardly interested in card games, they did not dare to disobey their boss's orders.
Pamela had told her servant to arrange the card table in the quiet and elegant tea room.
After Corinne assigned two maids to keep watch over the soundly asleep Joey, she brought Aaron and Xante down. When she arrived at the living room, she saw Pamela interceding between Annie and Francine. She specifically requested Francine to apologize to Annie.
Annie was never the kind of person who held grudges, so she just nodded and forgave Francine without another word.
However, Aaron was not too happy to see that.
When Corinne came down with Aaron and Xante, Pamela waved at them with an affectionate smile.
"Over here, Corinne! Tell your friends to play some card games with me. It's been a while since I last played, and I'm feeling like it today!"
Nevertheless, Aaron still made a point to lighten the atmosphere around Pamela. As a result, her mood improved even more.
It was already evening by the time they were done with a few rounds.
Pamela invited them all to have dinner, but both Aaron and Xante declined. Annie turned down the offer politely too, and she walked out of the house together with Aaron and Xante.
Rather than get into Aaron's car, she politely waved goodbye to Xante and went off alone.
Aaron told his driver to follow her slowly. He then lowered the window and said to her, "Get in. I'll send you home."
Annie continued walking and did not even bother to look at him. "Thanks for the offer, but I'm good. I'm not planning on going home right now."

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...
