Chapter 150
Corinne panicked and jumped off the chair. “Aaron, go out and stall him. I’ll find a chance to sneak out Don’t let him know I’m here!
“Right away!” Aaron quickly put away his foolish smile and walked out to handle it.
Corinne followed him to the door and peeked out to monitor the situation through the small gap.
There, she saw Jeremy getting out of the lift and Tommy following him.
Aaron approached them with a professional smile. “Welcome, Mister Jeremy.”
Jeremy nodded faintly. “Thank you.”
Aaron professionally turned his body sideways to lead the way. “Miss Xante mentioned to me you’re interested in our building’s design. Shall I bring you for a tour to look at the interior design?”
Jeremy raised his hand and rejected politely, “That’s not necessary. I went to a few floors before coming up here and have understood it. I wish to meet with Miss Xante and the architect, Moon.”
“I’m sorry, but Miss Xante is in the middle of a meeting,” apologized Aaron. “It’s going to take a while before her meeting ends. Why don’t we go to the rooftop? The design is different from the others, and you can see the whole city from there.”
“It’s alright,” replied Jeremy, his expression unchanging. “I can wait in the reception room.”
No matter what Aaron said, Jeremy just would not budge. He knew it would look odd if he continued to look for an excuse to bring Jeremy else. In fact, he might have felt suspicious.
Hence, he glanced at the office and felt helpless. Politely, he said to Jeremy, “Alright, then. Please follow me.”
Corinne furrowed her brow vehemently as Aaron brought Jeremy to the reception room. She had nowhere to run.
The reception room was located between Xante’s office, the lift, and the stairs. Moreover, the four walls of the room were made out of glass.
If she walked over, Jeremy would most likely spot her. However, it was inappropriate for Xante to meet Jeremy in the reception room, especially when they were dealing with a client that offered to pay 150 million dollars. It would be rude not to invite him to discuss the details in the president’s office.
Xante suggested, “Boss, how about you hide inside the small lounge behind? He looks like he’s in a hurry. I don’t think he’s going to stay for too long.”
Corinne nodded. “Yeah, that’s the only option I have.”

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...
