"But if I have you, a Holden, on my side, it adds an extra layer of guarantee that I won't be cast away like trash by Jeremy's grandparents. We can work together toward a win-win solution and help each other get the life we want. What do you say?" suggested Corinne.
The silver-haired man gazed at Corinne for a while before pushing her away in disgust. "What makes you think I'll be willing to accept a woman Jeremy has used?"
Instead of being humiliated or angry, Corinne simply laughed. "The same can be said about Holden Group. He dipped his finger all over it, yet you don't seem to mind at all. You should know I have my own merits for being able to snag someone like Jeremy!"
The silver-haired man seemed to be getting convinced. It was just as Corinne deduced—he did not know anything about running a company and had no friends to help him. It would be promising if someone like Corinne could guide him.
'Hm, I like her straightforward attitude. It won't be too late to get rid of her after I finish using her.'
With that thought in mind, the silver-haired smiled sinisterly and said, "Okay, I'll let you live for the moment. But make no mistake, I'll kill you if I even get the hint of feeling you're playing me."
Corinne smiled. "Great. Now that we've decided to work together, can you please untie me?"
A look of caution flashed across the silver-haired man's eyes. "Why should I do that and why are you in such a rush? I'll untie you after you've delivered the baby."
Corinne raised an eyebrow. "I just need you to untie my hands and get me some pen and paper. I'll draw you a picture so I can explain how the internal power structure of Holden Group works. That way, we can come up with a plan on how to take down the company in the future."
The silver-haired man looked at her skeptically.
Corinne smiled at him. "What's the matter? Do you think I'm going to try to run away? Come on, I'm heavily pregnant, and my legs will still be tied up. I can't run even if you untie my hands. You're seriously overestimating me and seriously underestimating you and your friends."
Her words seemed to have an effect on the silver-haired man. He looked at Corinne's pregnant belly with a frown and believed she could not run in such a condition.
"Give me your hands," he barked coldly.
Corinne quickly raised her hands.

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...
