Thus, Annie had no choice but to return to her seat. "You've crossed the line this time!"
Aaron smiled and said softly, "Just stay and enjoy the lunch with me."
After that, the waiter brought in one fancy dish after another.
Annie ate without really tasting the food. All she could think about was how to explain what was going on to Marcus.
The restaurant was not that far from Newmoon Group. In fact, it would only take Marcus 15 minutes by car to get there.
Marcus smiled when he saw Annie in the room, but his smile froze when he realized Aaron was inside the room as well. He looked at Aaron, then back at Annie.
"Annie, why are you having a romantic lunch with Mister Aaron?"
Annie smiled awkwardly. "Umm… It might look like a romantic lunch, but I can assure you it's just a casual lunch. Here, have a seat, Marcus. Order whatever you want. It's Mister Aaron's treat today," she explained as she patted the seat next to her.
Marcus chose to believe Annie, but he still felt pressured to be in this kind of setting with Aaron. After all, this was the first time he had ever been so close to his boss. Thus, he bowed slightly and said, "Thank you, Mister Aaron, for the lunch."
After that, he pulled out his chair and sat down.
Aaron smiled warmly while he gracefully cut his steak.
"Marcus, I heard you asked for a half-day leave because something happened to your family?" he asked casually.
Marcus' expression became sheepish. "Umm, well… I…"
Was there anything more embarrassing than being caught red-handed in a lie by the boss?

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...
