After thinking it over, Annie nodded and said, "Okay, sure. Thanks, Corinne!"
She still had the employee ID card with her, so she could go in and out of the company as she pleased. This was possible because she did not formally tender her resignation since she just decided not to come to work for a day.
The reason she did not go upstairs to wait for Marcus was because she did not want to risk running into Aaron. However, she did not care about all that anymore since Corinne was back.
Thus, so followed Corinne into the elevator. She was so focused on Corinne that she did not realize Aaron was standing beside her too. It was only when she smelled his signature perfume did she noticed his presence. However, it would seem like she was still hung up on him if she tried to change her place then.
'Oh well, this elevator ride isn't going to take long anyway,' she told herself.
"Corinne, where have you been for the past six months?" she asked curiously.
Corinne ignored her question again. "Annie, we can still be friends, but you should know I'm not your aunt anymore."
Annie was stunned. "Why not? Does that mean you're really breaking up with Uncle Jeremy?"
"What I had with your Uncle Jeremy was just a working relationship, and now that our agreement has ended, there's no need for us to continue as before. It's not right for you to see me as your aunt; doing so will only cause me unnecessary trouble."
Annie did not understand the sudden change in Corinne's attitude. "But you're carrying Uncle Jeremy's—"
Ding!
However, the moment he walked out of the elevator, he saw Annie talking happily with Marcus. He could not take his eyes off her radiant laughing face.
Marcus noticed Aaron was staring at them, so he stood up anxiously and asked, "Mister Aaron, do you have any orders for me?"
Aaron strode over and smiled. "I'll let your manager know if I have any tasks for you."
Marcus fell silent. He should not have gone over his immediate supervisor's head.
Annie rolled her eyes at Aaron. She did not like his tone when speaking to Marcus.

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...
