Suddenly, Sherlyn saw someone she knew among the guests. Her eyes widened as she said, "Corinne, go find a place and stay there. I'm going to talk to a friend. Remember—don't touch anything. You can't afford to pay if you broke it!"
Corinne nodded and said faintly, "Yes, I understand."
After that, Sherlyn took a glass of red wine and sashayed toward an elegant middle-aged man. She greeted and raised her glass with him. The middle-aged man was happy to see her there. His eyes looked passionate as they chatted in good spirits.
Back where Corinne was standing, she took a glass of juice from the buffet table and took a sip to hydrate her throat. Narrowing her eyes, she monitored every movement Sherlyn made.
'It's weird that Sherlyn knows someone from here, and they look very close to each other. Something's going on between them. She must've gotten the invitation card to attend this party here from that middle-aged man, too. The middle-aged man must be the reason why Sherlyn could whitewash her image. He must've supported and funded her. Based on how she and Lilliana's high-profile behavior, they would've used him if they knew him in the past and wouldn't wait until now. That means they only got to know him now. But how?'
Just when Corinne was submerged in her thoughts, she heard snarky comments aimed her way.
"Look at that girl! Her fashion sense is a disaster!"
"Oh my god. Who let her in? She's ruining Lunar Century Manor's high-end quality with that outfit!"
"I agree! What was she thinking, wearing that outfit? And those unsophisticated braids!"
"Come on! Let's go meet her. I wonder who she is!"
Soon, a group of pretty girls dressed in lavish gowns surrounded Corinne.
"Hey there, who are you here with?"
"We're regulars that often attend parties here. How come we've never seen you before?"
Corinne was pulled back to reality. She raised her brow as she looked at them before she turned to walk away, not wanting to entertain them.
The rich girls felt offended by Corinne's action and went after her angrily.
"Hey, we asked you something!"

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...
