Chapter 31
Even though it was described as a private VIP room, the interior was more like that of an entire floor due to how spacious it was.
The lights were dim, and there was a live band playing some music.
Everyone was dressed to the nines, and they were all having a good time, with groups of three to five clinking glasses with each other as they chatted and laughed.
Corinne glanced across the crowd in search of Annie’s figure.
All of a sudden, the pink-haired young woman came running toward her. “Hey there, Au-”
Corinne stretched out a finger and pressed it on Annie’s lips and stopped her from uttering the word “aunt’.” Call me by name when you’re outside!”
Annie curled her lips. “Oh, okay! Corinne…”
Corinne frowned slightly and examined Annie’s body to see if there were any injuries. “What’s wrong? Why’d you call me to come up and save you?”
Annie hugged Corinne’s arm anxiously, turned around, and pointed behind. “It’s them! They bullied me!”
Corinne glanced over and saw three well-dressed young men surrounding her. She took one look at them and knew that they were all pampered playboys.
The man standing on the left said, “Come on now, beautiful! You can’t blame us like that! You promised you’d have some fun with us. How could you say that we bullied you?”
The man standing on the right sized up Corinne. “Hi there! I didn’t think another beauty like you would show up here. You look like a good girl, but then again, that’s just my type!”
Corinne remained calm and turned to Annie. “How did you get involved with them?”
Annie felt guilty and whispered, “I came in to look for Uncle, but I didn’t see him anywhere, so I asked the three of them if they knew where to find him! They insisted on making me play dice with them though, and they promised to bring me to find him if I’d win! But then… I didn’t win! They gave me a choice between drinking ten bottles of beer or giving one of them a French kiss. I sure as hell wouldn’t want to kiss them! As for the drinks… I was worried that they spiked it or something like that, so I didn’t want to drink it either. But
they wouldn’t let me go if I didn’t drink…”
Corinne got a rough idea of what happened and glanced at the men once again. “Does it make you feel proud to bully a young woman like this?”
“I thought all women advocate for gender equality? Well, gender equality means that everyone should be willing to accept their losses in a gamble, regardless of their gender. If you can’t afford to lose in a game, don’t even bother playing in the first place!”
you
sure?”
A sour expression unfolded across Corinne’s pretty face. “You’re playing dice, right? I’ll play with you!”

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...
