Chapter 152
The smile on Sherlyn’s face froze when Jeremy did not even react to her enthusiastic explanation. His expression was stern and indifferent, which came off as intimidating.
Sherlyn did not try to force a conversation with him, so she eased some of her embarrassment by turning to ask Xante. “Where is my assistant, Miss Xante? I need her to carry something for me!” Xante seemed to have a bad feeling about how the situation was developing, but she adjusted her gold-rimmed glasses calmly and said lightly, “Your assistant has just left, Miss Sherlyn.”
Sherlyn frowned in dissatisfaction. “She left?! Where the hell did she go? How dare she run off without even waiting for me to come back!”
Xante smiled politely and said indifferently, “I’m not privy to that, I’m afraid.”
Sherlyn was already pissed that Corinne was requested to speak in a private discussion, and that anger only escalated when Corinne just left without saying a word. She immediately took out her cell phone and called Corinne to question her.
Xante wanted to stop her from doing so, but it was too little too late.
Soon, Corinne’s head-pounding ringtone began to blare from inside the office. “I’m not afraid, I’m not afraid… To take a stand, to take a stand… It’s been a ride… Everybody…”
Sherlyn was taken aback and asked strangely, “My assistant’s cell phone is ringing from inside your office, Miss Xante. She’s still in there, isn’t she?”
Xante’s expression fluctuated a little, but she covered it up with a professional smile. “Your assistant has left, Miss Sherlyn, but it sounds like she forgot to bring her cell phone with her.”
Jeremy had an enigmatic expression as he remembered Moon the architect from earlier-behind that
gas mask was a pair of familiar eyes. He seemed to realize something as his pupils contracted slightly. He then turned and headed back into the office so he could confirm his suspicions.

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...
