Aaron shrugged his shoulders. "I'm just curious to know how you took him down."
Corinne was speechless.
Xante came over with a cup of coffee and kicked Aaron. "Buzz off! Can't you see that she's going over some work-related documents? Why are you bringing up such pointless things?"
Aaron patted the side of his trousers that had been kicked, seemingly disgusted by the dirt on the soles of Xante's high heels.
Xante placed the coffee cup on the desk and pushed it to Corinne's hand. "Did you really reconcile with Mister Jeremy last night?"
Corinne kept quiet.
Aaron rolled his eyes. "Tch! You've got some nerve to ask that question after you kicked me for doing the same thing! Aren't you just as curious as I am?"
Corinne did not entertain their gossip and turned to the last page of the financial statement in her hand. "Not bad! The financial report for the second half of the year has improved a lot compared to the first half of the year. You've both worked very hard. We still need to expand on the real estate development projects in the south, since we're still far behind some of the more experienced real estate groups."
Xante has always been very focused and dedicated when it came to work. She nodded after hearing that and said, "Understood!"
Corinne closed the folder and took a sip of coffee.
Xante suddenly remembered something and reported to her, "By the way, boss, the Holden Group's previous design commission for their new office building has been completed. They're very satisfied with the final version of the design you provided, and we'll be in charge of the tower's construction project, too."
Corinne sipped her coffee pensively. After a moment, she said, "I'll handle the construction project and keep tabs on it."
Xante was a little surprised and adjusted the gold-rimmed spectacles on her face. "Are you sure you want to scrutinize the construction project in person? You'll be exposed to the elements at the construction site, not to mention the possible dangers of falling objects. You're pregnant now, so—"

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...
