Chapter 151
“Moon has her reasons for that, and I am in no position to divulge anything,” said Xante.
Jeremy chuckled coldly. “Seems to me that Newmoon Group isn’t sincere in accepting Holden Group’s project. No pressure, then.”
As he said that, he placed down the coffee cup and stood up immediately after.
Meanwhile, Corinne could hear the entire conversation from inside the lounge. Jeremy sounded Incredibly dissatisfied, and she knew that his patience was always limited.
If he left, then they would stand to lose the 150-million-dollar project!
As Corinne was frantically finding a way to handle it, she saw a pile of equipment in the corner of the lounge. Aaron was the one who had bought them, and there seemed to be something like a gas mask in the pile.
“Mister Jeremy, please wait!”
Jeremy, who had walked to the door of the office, stopped when he heard the voice and slowly turned around to look over. His charming eyes narrowed when he saw who it was.
Xante turned her head to look in the direction of the voice and was stunned by what she saw. “Why is our boss…dressed like that?’
Corinne had changed into Xante’s clothes in the lounge, and she walked out of the lounge with a gas mask on her face.
She went straight to Jeremy and changed her voice by raising it several pitches higher, saying.” You wanted to meet me, didn’t you, Mister Jeremy? I’m Moon.”
Jeremy frowned slightly and looked at her skeptically.
Tommy had a dumbfounded look when he saw her. ‘Why did Moon arm herself with that sort of protective equipment? Is she trying to imply that Mister Jeremy is noxious or something?
Corinne explained self-consciously, “I’m sorry, Mister Jeremy. I’ve been having severe skin allergies recently, and my face is breaking out like crazy. I wouldn’t want to be an eyesore, so I can. only meet people in this gab. This is why Miss Xante mentioned that it’s not convenient for me to meet clients. I hope you don’t mind me dressing like this while discussing work matters with you.”
Jeremy nodded slightly and said curtly, “I don’t mind. Your fashion sense is of no interest to me.”
Corinne bowed politely. “I’m very thankful for your understanding, Mister Jeremy.”
Jeremy regained his senses and said in a deep voice, “I won’t propose anything so as to allow you free artistic rein, but the design mustn’t be too unconventional.”
Corinne nodded. “Thank you very much for putting trust in me, Mister Jeremy. I hope our cooperation will be a smooth and fruitful one.”
The conversation had come to an end, and Jeremy got up to leave after looking at his watch. Corinne heaved a sigh of relief.
Xante got up to see off their big client, but as soon as she opened the office door, she saw Sherlyn raising her hand as if to knock on it.
Sherlyn’s eyes lit up when she saw Jeremy. “Why are you here, Mister Jeremy?”
As soon as Jeremy saw Sherlyn, however, his first thought was to raise his eyes and see if Corinne was behind her. When he saw that Corinne was nowhere to be seen, he asked in a cold voice, What are you doing here?”
Sherlyn replied softly, “Newmoon Group wanted me to endorse their new product, so I left to get an introduction of that product. Mister Xante here held my assistant in the office to explain some things to her, so I’m here to look for her!”
Jeremy narrowed his eyes sharply. ‘Corinne’s here?

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...
