Aaron smiled threateningly, causing a chill to go up Marcus' spine. For a moment, he thought he was going to fire him.
"Okay, then. Goodbye, Mister Aaron! We're going now," said Annie, breaking the silence as she pulled Marcus to the shopping mall near the restaurant.
Aaron remained standing where he was, lost in thought for a few minutes before getting into his car.
Annie dragged Marcus to the shopping mall and pushed open the glass door entrance before looking furtively back in the direction where they came from. She sighed with relief when she saw Aaron's car finally driving off.
Marcus looked at her anxiously. "Annie, what is going on with you and Mister Aaron? Why does he seem like he really hates me?"
Annie snapped back to the present and looked at him sheepishly. "Sorry, Marcus. I didn't mean to cause you any trouble…"
Marcus quickly shook his head. "No, I don't mean that. I'm just worried that he's trying to steal you from me. I mean, I'll surely lose in a fight against him."
Annie smiled embarrassedly. "You're overthinking things! Everyone in the office knows he's a player who likes to flirt with every woman he sees. You don't need to take him seriously even if he's interested in me. I'm sure it's just a phase."
Marcus visibly relaxed after that. "I thought you'd fall for a funny, charming, and successful man like Mister Aaron too."
"I… Well, forget it. Let's not talk about him anymore. It's leaving a bad taste in my mouth," said Annie sheepishly. "We should enjoy ourselves in the shopping mall since you took the time to get off work for me. You must still be hungry 'cause you didn't eat much just now. Come, I'll buy you lunch again."
…
Aaron bumped into Tommy, who had been standing guard by the main entrance, as soon as he got home. Momentarily stunned, he then glared at him. "What are you doing here?"

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...
