Corinne's eyes sharpened as the store owner's wife seemed to have a realization.
"Yes? Did something cross your mind?"
"I remembered something. That girl, 'An,' used to flirt with my husband while working here. My husband ignored her advances, and she turned her attention to one of the kitchen staff instead. Oddly enough, that kitchen staff guy quit not long after I fired her. There might be a connection between them!"
Corinne seized that glimmer of hope as she grabbed the store owner's wife's hand tightly. "Do you have a photo of that staff that you can show me?"
The store owner's wife pondered for a moment before answering, "Oh, we do have one! He was still working with us during our store's third-anniversary celebration last month. We took a group photo together! Honey, it should be on your Facebook. Quick, find it and show it to this lady."
The fast-food restaurant owner quickly pulled out his phone and scrolled through his Facebook account to locate the photo.
"Here it is. It's the guy on the far right."
Corinne's heart skipped a beat as she recognized the face in the photo; it was the balloon seller who frequently showed his face around her and the kids!
'So Anya really is the one behind all this!' thought Corinne.
"Could you please help me contact that kitchen staff, and if possible, arrange for a meeting with him?" pleaded Corinne.
Seeing Corinne in such a panic, the store owner's wife was more than willing to help.
"Sure, I'll contact him. Coincidentally, he left in a rush without settling the last month's wages."
Corinne nodded. "Call him now, and tell him it's about settling his wages. Don't mention anything about us yet."
Understanding Corinne's urgency, the store owner's wife took out her phone and dialed the kitchen staff's number.

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...
