Chapter 514
Jeremy’s response stunned Corinne. She started to blush with embarrassment when she recalled what happened that fateful night.
Jeremy’s eyes softened when he saw her blushing like that. Her reaction was exactly what he had been hoping for. He wished that she would act shyly and nervously-like a girl with raging hormones-around him.
After all, they had not seen each other for a month. He hated how she did not seem happy or surprised to see him. In fact, she completely ignored his existence.
“Corinne Carew,” Jeremy called out her full name in that deep and seductive voice of his. Being called by one’s full name was never a good thing in any kind of relationship.
Corinne looked warily at him. “Mister Jeremy, if you have something you want to tell me, just
Say it!!
He pinched her chin and tilted her face up.
“Why are you calling me Mister Jeremy instead of just Mister?”
Corinne thought he was acting a bit odd. She could not tell whether he was unhappy or actually flirting with her. In any case, given their new relationship status, she thought it would be wrong for her to still call him ‘Mister’.
She frowned and explained seriously, “Mister Jeremy, considering our previous working agreement and the difference between our ages, it was not wrong for me to call you ‘Mister’. However, now that I’m Mister Lucas’ secretary and you’re his friend, I should address you properly, and not casually like before.”
Jeremy’s eyes darkened at the mention of Lucas. “Why are you still being loyal to him when he was the one who threw you at the side of the highway? He doesn’t even treat you with the respect any boss should have for his employee.”
Corinne was speechless.
‘He’s right. I agree with him. Mister Lucas shouldn’t have done that to me.”
After a few seconds of silence, Corinne forced a smile on her face and said, “Well, he’s not the worst boss in the world. I just need to see this as a test. Besides, I was the one who asked him for this job, and in any case, I’m good with having him as my boss as long as he pays me in a timely manner every month.”
Jeremy was both frustrated and heartbroken at how stubborn Corinne was being.
‘How can she still smile like that when that b*stard treated her like this?’

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...
