Moreover, Xante and Aaron were looking for Corinne as well. They, too, came up empty-handed.
'Where the hell is that girl hiding?' thought Jeremy.
"Sir, we're here."
Jeremy snapped out of his thoughts and looked out of the window. They had arrived at the hotel where the business banquet was held.
He got out of the car and walked steadily to the banquet hall. As soon as he got there, a lavishly dressed sexy woman wound her arm around his.
"Jeremy, you're late! Everyone has been waiting for you," said Sophia with a flirtatious smile.
Jeremy unhooked her arm from his and walked to distance himself. "Why come early when it's not an important event at all?" he asked aloofly.
"How can you say that about a business banquet? All the biggest corporations have come together to talk about the latest development in the industry, so it's really a good opportunity to network!" said Sophia.
Jeremy was not interested in all that. He possessed all the latest global information at his very fingertips, so there was no need to waste his time in this kind of networking event. He only attended because Zeke and Gerald had been calling him nonstop, asking him to join them in one event or the other. He thought it would be rude if he kept on turning them down.
Most of the events they invited him to attend were of the loud kind, so when they asked him to attend this business banquet, he thought it would be the perfect opportunity to hang out with them. Additionally, he attended this instead of the other events because no random girls would be throwing themselves at him.
Zeke strode to where Gerald was like a hurt dog. "Gerald, did you see that? I was only worried about him, yet he told me to get lost! Is this how one should treat a friend?"
Gerald, who sat on the sofa, sipped his wine before saying, "Serves you right."
After that, he picked up a glass of wine and passed it to Jeremy, who sat next to him. "Hey man, how have you been? Any news about her yet?"
Jeremy accepted the glass of wine and clinked it with Gerald's. He shook his head darkly in response to his question.

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...
