"What would you like to print on the fliers? It'll take around thirty minutes for the fliers to be ready after the design is confirmed," replied the store worker.
"I don't need them to be fancy. I just want to get them as fast as possible," said Sophia.
"Okay, then. I'll give you the simplest design and have them out for you in fifteen minutes."

That evening, after dinner, Corinne decided to take a stroll in the Riveras' garden. The night air was refreshing, and the bright moon hung in the sky.
As she walked, she heard two servants complaining up ahead.
"D*mn it! Some idiot shop is distributing their fliers around here," said one of them.
"Yeah! They must have blown in after getting thrown away… God, they're everywhere!" grumbled the other.
Suddenly, they heard the sound of footsteps approaching, so they turned around to see who it was. They quickly bowed respectfully when they saw it was Corinne.
"Hello, Miss Corinne. Would you be so kind as to take a stroll somewhere else? We're going to sweep these fliers away, and we're worried that the dust might bother you."
Corinne smiled. "Okay, sure. Thanks for letting me know."
She did not really pay attention to the fliers as she walked to the other side.
The servants began to gossip among themselves again when they saw her walking away.
"Umm… It was Mister Jeremy," answered one of the servants quickly. "He was killed in an explosion last night. Apparently, the explosion was so big that his body was blown to pieces. The Holdens are asking for eyewitnesses or clues to what happened. We got all the information from these fliers here."
Corinne looked down at the small pile of dusty fliers on the ground. She wanted to pick one up, but she could not bend down due to her protruding belly.
Seeing this, one of the servants quickly picked up a flier and handed it to her.
Corinne grabbed the flier and saw the front was an advertisement for a barbecue restaurant while the back was about Jeremy's death. The Holdens were imploring for anyone with clues as to what happened to Jeremy to come forward. Those who did would be generously rewarded for their help.
'Jeremy was killed in an explosion? No… That's not possible! How can this be? This is Jeremy we're talking about!' thought Corinne in a panic.
She stared blankly at the flier. Suddenly, she felt tightness in her chest, causing her to hyperventilate.

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...
