Corinne thanked the employees and gave a tour of the place. There were some floor-to-ceiling windows on the side of the hallway, so she went there to look around. The view was as spectacular as she imagined, offering a glimpse of almost the entire city.
Nevertheless, she knew the hallway could never compare to the view in Jeremy's office. She specially designed his at the north end to overlook the city's beautiful Scented Lake, where he could watch the sun rise and set. Whenever he was tired from work, he could just glance up and see the beautiful scenery to relieve his fatigue.
In hindsight, it was a waste to design such a beautiful office for that man.
When she heard from the employees that Jeremy would not be around, she was tempted to go in and look. When they were not paying attention, she seized the moment to slip in.
The decor in the president's office was more upscale compared to the common areas. The atmosphere was mature and minimalist, which characterized Jeremy well. Corinne sighed as she stood by the floor-to-ceiling windows and looked out at Scented Lake. It was as beautiful as she imagined.
Alas, she did not have the luxury of staying there and admiring the scenery for too long. There was a lounge in the staff area where she could wait for her ride to arrive before going down.
Corinne spent less than a minute inside the office. When she was about to leave, she was startled when she opened the door and saw someone coming in. She fretted it was Jeremy, but she sighed in relief when she spotted a curvaceous woman instead.
'Thank goodness it's not Jeremy.'
Sophia folded her arms. She walked up to Corinne and looked at the latter from top to bottom. Everything about Corinne screamed 'suspicious', from the way she was dressed to the mask she wore! "Are you an employee of Holden Group?"
Corinne shook her head truthfully. "I am not."
Sophia frowned. "Then how did you get in here? This is the president's office! Did you think you could just come and go as you please?"

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...
