However, Xante was the president of Newmoon Group, making her a person he could not afford to cross.
The man picked up the bottle of wine and poured another glass for Xante before doing the same for himself.
"Xante, I was only joking with you. Don't tell me you're mad? Well, I apologize. I shouldn't have done that. Here, let's have a toast. It's okay if you don't want to be together now because I'm going to work hard to show you I'm serious about you."
He then put down the wine bottle, picked up his own glass, and finished it in one go. After that, he looked coyly at Xante, saying, "Your turn."
The music was so loud that Xante did not quite hear what her ex-boyfriend said, but she thought she should at least take a sip of her wine out of politeness.
However, someone grabbed her wrist just when she picked up her wine glass.
"Don't drink it!" shouted Sunny, stopping her from drinking the wine.
Xante was first shocked, but her expression soured when she saw Sunny's panic-stricken face looking back at her.
"Let go of my wrist," she said threateningly.
Sunny frowned and forced himself to say gently, "Xante, don't drink it. You should head back home now. You still need to work tomorrow."
Xante obviously did not agree with Sunny's sentiment. "It's the weekend tomorrow, so I don't need to get up early for work. Excuse me, but I'm talking to my friend here. Why don't you go home before your brother comes looking for you."
Sunny took a deep breath to keep himself from exploding. "You can talk to him when the sun's out. Nothing good can ever come out of talking in a nightclub. Let's go. I'll send you home."
Even though Shawn did not want to, he chose to do as she said.
After that, Xante led Sunny out of the private room.
It was much quieter in the stairwell.
"You shouldn't be here! Go back home before your family worries about you," chastised Xante angrily.
A stubborn frown appeared on Sunny's forehead, but his eyes looked like a puppy's that had been kicked. They were anxious, hurt, and fearful.

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...
