Corinne followed the usher into the private club. The World Hacker Conference was held on the highest floor of the building. She took the elevator up and noticed how tight the security was. This was good since it meant no one could sneak in nor could anyone leak out the members' information.
After arriving at the venue, the usher bowed and went back downstairs, leaving Corinne to enter alone. It was dark inside, unlike other conferences. Every attendee was registered under their hacker name so that they could keep their real identity a secret. They were only there to learn the newest hacking technique from each other, not to make friends. The dim light meant it would be easier for the attendees to conceal what their masks could not. For example, the look in their eyes.
It was very lively and crowded inside. It was more like a masquerade party than a conference, except that everyone was dressed in a similar style. In the middle of the hall, there were groups of people chatting and drinking with each other, and further back was a man giving a lecture on the technical aspects of the new system on top of a mini stage.
"Look! That code belongs to Jade Rabbit!"
"So Jade Rabbit is here too!"
"Jade Rabbit has been keeping a low profile lately. I still remember how she hacked into Eravale's national defense system and changed their slogan just for the fun of it!"
"Wow, that's impressive!"
Corinne smiled at her adoring fans before walking over to where the stage was. She found an empty seat and sat down to listen to the lecture being given on stage. However, she found herself dozing off after a while so she looked around to find something to do.
Everyone around her started whispering amongst themselves.
"If Jade Rabbit is here, does that mean Ghostlord is here too?"
"Yup, he's here too!"
"Where is he? How come I don't see him?"

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...
