Sunny felt a sudden wave of affection. "Are you teasing me?"
Although he had been fantasizing a lot after having his first taste of a woman, he still respected Xante's boundaries and did not force her if she did not want to do it. Truth be told, they only ever did it once. He later pestered Xante repeatedly, but Xante never allowed him to go further.
Xante hooked his shirt collar with one finger. "No. Sit still and buckle up. I'm bringing you back to my place."
Sunny gulped. Like a child who was eager to get his reward, he fastened his seat belt and put on his best behavior. Xante could not resist smiling when she saw that. An innocent puppy like him was much cuter than those unpredictable old hounds out there!
Life was short, so there was no reason not to enjoy oneself to the fullest. Even a cute puppy would grow up and find someone better for it.
Back at the restaurant, Jeremy leaned against a stairwell wall while smoking a cigarette pensively.
Sophia quickly found him. She opened the door and walked in, saying, "What's the matter, Jeremy? Are you trying to relieve your worries alone with just a cigarette for company?"
Jeremy glanced at her and exhaled a puff of smoke. "I'm fine. You can leave."
Sophia shook her head. "But I didn't drive!"
"Tommy is outside. He can drive you."
"No! I want to go with you!"
…
Two days later, the Holden Group moved to their new premises. All the major media companies arrived early in an attempt to get their story out first.
Jeremy would almost certainly attend the ribbon-cutting ceremony for the relocation. His true appearance had never been released on the internet, so the reporters were hoping to seize that opportunity to get a shot of Jeremy's face. They would then be able to post those photos because they acquired them through legitimate means. It would most certainly grab the headlines on the front page!
The ceremony soon began, and a professional emcee had been hired to host the ceremony. The emcee came to the stage and made some opening remarks before introducing each guest. The first few were the Holden Group's partners, as well as several other important shareholders. The reporters snapped pictures of them, but they were not very interested in any of those figures. Their main priority was Jeremy.
Jeremy did not show up for a long time, but the emcee introduced another important guest—Moon, the designer of the Holden Group's new building!

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...
