Corinne glanced at Sophia. "I'm being as courteous as I can. It's just very inconvenient for me to take off my hat and mask."
Sophia frowned in confusion. "Why not?"
"Because I'm ugly. I wouldn't want to scare you," said Corinne bluntly.
Sophia was taken aback. "It's not that bad, is it? We won't be scared! Why would we care about your appearance when your talent encompasses who you are? Let's get to know each other a bit better!"
Corinne did not want to argue with Sophia anymore. She was just about to bid them goodbye when Jeremy said, "Take them off."
Corinne was stunned. "Mister Jeremy, our cooperation has officially ended, and I don't think I am obliged to agree to your whimsical demands. I have other things to take care of, so if you'll excuse me!"
She immediately turned to leave when Jeremy grabbed her wrist and ordered, "Take. Them. Off."
Corinne took a deep breath, knowing she could not escape. She looked at Jeremy with displeasure and said, "I'm surprised you'd suspect me of stealing and insist on seeing my face after the end of our cooperation."
Jeremy stared at her with eagle-like eyes. "Do you feel guilty? Why are you so scared to show me your true face? Who are you?"
He remembered the first time he met Moon at the Newmoon Group. Corinne was also there, but she never seemed to have appeared together with Moon. As he connected the dots to Corinne's relationship with Xante and Aaron, a sudden thought occurred to him, and he came to a shocking theory.
Corinne and Moon might be the same person.
Corinne massaged her numb wrist and said unhappily, "I'd like to put it on record that you have infringed on my privacy to such an extent that you're even forcing me to take off my hat and mask. I will no longer cooperate with Holden Group from this point on!"
Jeremy did not seem to care about her quibble and raised his eyes coldly. "Take them off, then."
Corinne had no choice but to raise her hand to take off her hat. Her long hair was then revealed. Then, she placed her hand on the mask string beside her ear.
Her movements were unconsciously slow, and she was still a little reluctant to take them off.
Jeremy had an intensely intimidating look in his eyes.

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...
