Chapter 500
All of a sudden, there seemed to be some sort of pressure bearing down on everyone, and the scene became deathly silent. Everyone thought that the atmosphere was a bit strange as Jeremy seemed to be staring at Lucas’s female secretary with a cold and sharp gaze.
Jeremy had a conflicted yet dangerous expression that sent chills down one’s spine.
Missus Benet also noticed that something was amiss with Jeremy’s gaze, since there did not seem to be a logical reason as to why Jeremy would stare so intently at Lucas’s secretary.
‘Isn’t he satisfied with leading Anya on all this while? Has he taken a liking to another woman? Tch. Men are all the same. They always want the best of both worlds. He does have a good eye, though. Corinne is an outstanding young lady whose beauty makes it difficult for those who lay eyes on her to look away.”
Missus Benet did not welcome Jeremy’s presence, and she was prepared to call someone to remove him from the venue.
One of her male servants was looking all around him, and his eyes lit up as soon as he spotted her. He then walked in quickly and said hurriedly, “Missus Benet! You’re here! The old man sent me over to inform you that he wants to speak with you.”
Missus Benet frowned. “What is it?”
The male servant shook his head. “He didn’t say what it was. He merely told me that it was urgent and asked me to inform you that he wants to see you as soon as possible!”
“Okay,” Missus Benet said before turning to the guests and letting them know that she would have to excuse herself for a moment. She then immediately followed the male servant.
The pressure-filled silence was lifted by that brief exchange and everyone started to whisper among themselves.
“Why is Mister Jeremy staring so intently at that girl?”
“Do they know each other?”
“Miss Anya is right by his side, but he doesn’t seem to have looked at her more than once!”
“What’s going on?”
Anya could not have been happy to see Jeremy staring so intently at Corinne, especially not after she heard the whispers of those around her. She stretched out her hand, deliberately tugged on the man’s sleeve in a coy manner, and asked, “Are you tired after your business trip? Do you want to get some rest first?”

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...
