Chapter 191
The truth of the matter, however, was vastly unlike that which was portrayed by the trending.
searches.
Sherlyn was furious because she used to be the one giving out orders to rile public perception against certain people, and she felt unjust that it somehow became her turn to be slandered.
“Mister Aaron, the trending searches aren’t true! Please believe me…” she hastily tried to explain.
Aaron, however, was unmoved and said in a professional manner, “The problem now is not whether I believe you, Miss Sherlyn, but whether or not the public believes you. If you do not agree. to a peaceful termination of the contract, we can proceed with the legal procedures too. However, I should remind you that the compensation you would have to pay for losing the case. would be much, much higher.”
Sherlyn was at a loss. She knew she could not win against Newmoon Group in the lawsuit, and she eventually decided to compromise. “Okay. I’ll sign the termination agreement…”
Just like that, Sherlyn signed the agreement to terminate the contract.
Lilliana watched from the sidelines and felt sorry for her daughter. It would be difficult for Sherlyn. to bounce back in the future after her fortunes took a steep dive due to the loss of both the lead role in Goran’s film and the ambassadorial endorsement role in Newmoon Group.
Aaron accepted the contract with satisfaction and glanced subtly at Corinne, who nodded imperceptibly. Aaron understood her gesture at once and turned to leave.
Since Sherlyn had borne the brunt of anger from someone she could not offend, she decided to vent her anger on Corinne.
“Corinne, I’m now officially announcing that I’m firing you! You are to return the advance salary to me right now.”
Corinne could not be happier. “Okay.”
She took out her cell phone to scan the code from Sherlyn’s banking app, but Sherlyn frowned unhappily when she saw the amount. “Why is it only seven hundred and fifty? I paid you a one- thousand-and-five-hundred-dollar advance!”

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...
