Chapter 494
Lucas stiffened slightly, turned around to look at the source of the voice, and saw Corinne slipping through the crowd of onlookers from behind.
She walked up naturally to Lucas and asked, “Is there anything I can help you with, Mister Lucas?”
Cole, Anya, and Rosie were all shocked by what happened. They were dumbstruck as to why.
Corinne was outside.
Lucas looked at her intently and asked, “Where did you go?”
Corinne answered calmly, “I didn’t go anywhere. I was waiting downstairs for you to come back, but when I saw a lot of people running upstairs, I thought that maybe something serious happened. I followed everyone up to see what was happening. I heard you calling my name as soon as I came up, so I can’t help but feel curious as to why you’d look for me here.”
Lucas was speechless. ‘How am I supposed to answer her? Do I tell her that I thought she was fooling around with another man?”
Rosie did not believe Corinne one bit, so she came forward to cast doubt on the latter’s statement.
“Don’t act stupid, Corinne. I just saw you enter this room with Cole! You must’ve escaped in the chaos, and now, you’re trying to pretend as if you just came from downstairs!”
Corinne looked at Rosie inexplicably, as if she could not understand what the woman was saying. “Who’s Cole?”
Rosie glared at the exquisite makeup on Corinne’s face as said, “Are you still going to play dumb?”
Corinne frowned. She was speechless at Rosie’s remark and aggrieved by the accusation.
“I have no beef with you, Miss Rosie. Why do you need to slander me all the time? Are you bearing a grudge against me because you weren’t able to accompany Mister Lucas as his female companion today?”
She then turned around to look at Lucas. “Mister Lucas, perhaps next time you shouldn’t let at secretary like me accompany you to attend theee non-work settings. I’ll become an easy target for those who have a crush on you, and they’ll see me as their rival. This’ll only cause unnecessary trouble for the both of us.”
Rosie’s face soured at once and she explained hurriedly, “Don’t listen to her nonsense, Lucas! I’m not like that. I’m certain I saw Corinne and Cole enter the room earlier!”

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...
