Corinne looked at him cordially. "Do you still remember when I used to work in Rivera Group for a few days before you fired me?"
At the mention of that, Lucas became filled with shame and he quickly said, "You can come back to work for Rivera Group if you want. I'll give you any position you want and you can start at any date of your choosing."
"Oh, you're mistaken, Mister Lucas. What I meant to tell you is I hope you can pay me the salary you owed for those few days 'cause I don't like working for free," said Corinne with a smile.
Lucas did a double take and looked at her with mixed feelings. 'So it's not about the money after all. She just wants to make it clear that we have nothing to do with each other. In other words, she doesn't want to accept me as her brother!'
Corinne raised her eyebrow. "What's the matter? You don't want to give me the money?"
Lucas snapped out of his shock. "No, that's not it. I'm willing to give you whatever amount you want."
He then took out his wallet from his pocket and signed a check for her.
Seeing this, Corinne mockingly said, "Are you trying to buy me off with a check again?"
Lucas paused in his movement as he suddenly recalled the times he bought Corinne off with a check. Once again, he became filled with guilt and shame. He quickly put away the cheque and said, "I can wire you the money if you don't like getting cheques from me."
"I'll take cash, thanks. You don't need to go through all the trouble of writing a check or wiring me the money since the amount from working those few days isn't that big."
After a few seconds of silence, Lucas said, "I don't have a lot of cash on me right now but I'll ask Edmund to deliver it to you later."

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...
