Xante smiled. "You're overestimating yourself. Newmoon Group can more than afford to lose the business you bring us. I appreciate all the romantic gestures you've done for me tonight, but you should know I'm not the young girl I once was. Frankly, these things embarrassed me."
Shawn felt a pang of hurt in his chest. Frowning, he said, "Xante, I…"
Xante did not want to hear what he had to say anymore, so she shouted toward the private room, "Aaron!"
"Coming!" Aaron immediately ran out of the private room.
Xante threw a set of car keys toward him. "You haven't drunk any alcohol, so you can drive me home. Bring the car around, and let's get out of here."
Aaron caught the car keys and said under his breath, "What does she think I am? Her driver?"
Xante ignored Aaron and walked toward the entrance. She waited for him to bring the car around.
Very quickly, Aaron arrived with the car, and Xante got into it.
As soon as she got into the car, Aaron joked, "Xante, your ex-boyfriend might not be the important person he thinks he is, but his phone does hold the power to a lot of mega-companies' resources. Are you sure it's okay to turn him down like that?"
Xante gave him a side-eye. "Should I introduce you to him, then? You can exchange all the resources you like with him once you two are together."
"No way! I'm straight, okay?!"
Xante's face immediately darkened at the mention of the Riveras' mansion.
Seeing this, Aaron raised an eyebrow and asked, "What's the matter? Are you afraid of bumping into Sunny there?"
Xante frowned. "I'm not scared. It's just that… I'm tired and I want to go home."
"Okay. We'll go home, then."
"Oh, forget it! I'm worried about the boss too, so let's head over to the Riveras' mansion."

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...
