"Yeah, it's probably Mister Aaron," answered Annie honestly. "In fact, we came together, so he and Xante would give me a ride back later."
Marcus finally could not hold back the question he had been wanting to ask. "Annie, just what is your relationship with Mister Aaron?"
Annie was taken aback by his question. "Marcus, why do you ask? Nothing is going on between us!" she said embarrassingly.
"In that case, why does it seem like he cares a lot about you? I even heard from my colleagues that you first came to work in the company because of him! Is that true?"
"Uhhh… Yes. It's true."
Marcus felt unbelievably disappointed by Annie's reply, but at the same time, he was grateful for her honesty.
"Annie, thank you for being honest with me. Then do you still like him now?"
Annie wanted to avoid answering this question but could not.
"It doesn't matter whether I still like him or not because we're never going to end up together. Marcus, you have nothing to worry about. I promised to take our relationship seriously the moment I agreed to be your girlfriend."
Marcus could not help but feel despondent. "Annie, how can I not worry when it feels like I'm an outsider in your world? I feel lost and confused, do you know that?"
"Marcus, I—"
"Annie, I'm going to go pick you up now. I'll believe you're serious about me if you agree to let me do that, but if you don't… Well, I promise I won't ever bother you again."
After thinking it through, she said with some difficulty, "I'm really sorry, Marcus, but this isn't a good time. Uncle Jeremy asked me to stay with Corinne for the moment."
Marcus let out a bitter chuckle. "Okay, I understand. I won't ever bother you again. Goodbye, Annie."
He then ended the call without waiting for Annie's explanation.
Annie fell into a daze when she heard the beeps coming from her phone. 'Did I just get dumped?' she wondered.

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...
