Chapter 395
Bowen understood Jeremy’s wishes and turned around to inform the servants. After all those people cleared out, Corinne felt as if the air was fresh again as she pushed the man’s chest.
“You can let me go now, can you?”
Jeremy gazed down at her, but he tightened his grip on her instead of loosening it. “You want me to let go of a ruthless little girl like you so you can bring all your belongings with you and leave me behind?”
Corinne frowned and looked at him. “Didn’t you notice that my luggage bag is light? It’s empty. I didn’t pack anything inside at all! I was just pretending!”
Jeremy noticed that there was something off about the weight of the suitcase, but he was still a little displeased and had a stern look in his eyes. “Why didn’t you call me when they came over to harass you?”
Corinne answered indifferently, “Weren’t you at work? I didn’t want to disturb you, and besides, it’s not worth going through the trouble of abandoning your responsibilities at work just to deal with those useless pieces of trash. I could chase them away if I wanted to, but it’ll only be a stopgap measure. They’re going to come back anyway because they’d feel that my words carry no weight.
“I know them too well. If you don’t come forth and say something, they won’t believe a word I say, and they’re not going to give up either! So, I decided to act as if I’d resigned
myself to my fate and pretended to pack my luggage to keep them around here. Once you come home, you can take over and help me deal with them!”
The man stared at her earnestly and said in an admonishing tone, “I see. Am I supposed to thank you for how
understanding you are of my job?”
Corinne grinned and exclaimed, “No thanks necessary! You’re more than welcome. I’m well aware of your priorities.”
The man patted her angrily on the head and said, “What do you mean you’re aware of my priorities? Do you even know what my priorities are? From now on, I want you to remember that anything involving you is my top priority. You must call me as soon as possible if something happens!”
Corinne was startled for a moment and her thoughts went blank. She then nodded obediently and said, “Okay. I promise to do as you say next time.”

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...
