Corinne found what Sophia said laughable. "You want me to get out of your way too? Since when was I ever in your way?"
Sophia leaned in and whispered conspiratorially, "I don't mean it in the physical sense but in the romantic sense."
Corinne's eyes turned cold. She found what Sophia said so absurd that she almost laughed. "What does your love life have to do with me?"
Sophia was about to answer when she spotted someone appear behind Corinne. "Jason, what are you doing here?" she asked with a smile.
Jason glanced at Corinne before smiling at Sophia. "I went out to make a call just now. What are you two girls talking about?"
Sophia looked at Jason and then at Corinne as realization hit her. Her grin became even wider as she said, "Corinne has taken an interest in the paintings displayed in this room, so I came to walk with her since I don't think she should be left alone in her condition. But I have to entertain the other guests soon, so can you please stay with her, Jason?"
Jason smiled. "Of course. Leave her to me."
A wicked glint flashed across Sophia's eyes. "Okay, I'll leave you two to it, then. Catch you later."
After that, she started mingling with the crowd.
Jason turned back to look at Corinne after he made sure Sophia was nowhere to be seen. "Didn't you say you wanted to go to the restroom? Why are you here alone instead?"
"Can't I take a look around after I've been to the restroom? Must I go back and be talked about by you guys as if I'm in some sort of freakshow?"
Jason smiled and shrugged. "Hey, that's not fair. I didn't join in their conversation when they were talking about you."
Corinne did not find Jason as annoying as usual. After all, she felt rather indebted to him.

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...
