Sunny, on the other hand, did not think too much of it and said, "Xante, let's just join them. The more the merrier after all."
After thinking about it, Xante walked over to their table with a mission to get to know Sophia better. "Well, don't mind if we do, then."
Sophia tilted her head and smiled at her. "A friend of Jeremy is a friend of mine too. Please, go ahead."
Xante pushed up her gold-rimmed glasses and scoffed internally. She knew Sophia's breezy attitude was all an act since every word of hers was meant to let others know just how close she was with Jeremy. As to whether Sophia was doing it on purpose or accidentally… Well, that depended on who was the recipient of her message.
Xante sat beside Sophia while Sunny took the seat beside Jeremy. There was an awkward silence once everyone was settled.
Jeremy continued to cut his steak with an apathetic expression. It was as if he was not interested in what was going on in his surroundings at all. In fact, he would give only one-word answers whenever Sunny asked him any question.
Sophia was not eating. She rested her chin on her hand and looked sideways at Xante. "Miss Xante, can you tell me what kind of person Miss Corinne is?" she asked with a smile.
'Is this her way of digging up information about the boss because she thinks she's Mister Jeremy's mistress?' wondered Xante. She could not help but feel upset when the word 'mistress' flashed through her mind. 'The boss is no one's mistress! She was conned into a sham marriage by Mister Jeremy!'
However, she could understand why Sophia would see Corinne as Jeremy's mistress. Any wife would, in that case.
'The boss hates nothing more than someone who's a mistress. How could she not hate Mister Jeremy for turning her into one?'

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...
