Aaron nodded. He raised his hand to pat Annie's shoulder and comfort her. After all, the past few days have been nerve-wracking for her. "Don't worry, Annie."
Marcus, Annie's boyfriend, felt uncomfortable when he saw his immediate boss acting inappropriately toward his girlfriend. Even so, it was difficult for him to express his dissatisfaction directly to his boss.
He approached them and comforted Annie too. "That's good to know, Annie. It's great that your uncle and aunt. You have nothing to worry about now."
Annie looked at Marcus and snapped back to reality. She realized she had been too close to Aaron, so she took a step back and kept her distance from him.
Aaron immediately understood what she was thinking and pursed his lips to smile at her.
Marcus raised his hand and hugged Annie's shoulders. "Mister Aaron is right. You shouldn't go in right now, so how about we wait outside? I saw a shop not far from here. Let's go get something to drink while we wait."
Annie was not in the mood to drink anything. She shook her head and said, "No thanks. I don't feel like drinking anything right now."
Marcus nodded helplessly. "Then I'll wait here with you."
Aaron narrowed his eyes slightly. He glared sullenly at Marcus's hand on Annie's shoulder and asked softly, "Have you prepared the slides for tomorrow's morning meeting?"
Marcus was stunned. "Uh... I'll spend the entire night working on it when I get home."
Aaron asked seriously, "You're planning on staying up late, then? Can you guarantee you won't make any mistakes? Are you sure you'll be able to explain everything clearly to the higher-ups in the meeting tomorrow? I don't think you need me to explain how important tomorrow's meeting is. I think it's best for you to put your work ahead of everything else."
Marcus felt a little awkward. "Umm..."

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...
