Jeremy, who was sitting at the head of the table of the meeting room in his company, immediately stood up. His usually aloof face was riddled with rarely-seen anxiety. "What happened? Why are you in the hospital? Are you sick?"
'I should've gone with her to the Riveras!' he thought. 'Did they hurt her again?'
All kinds of possible scenarios flashed through his mind, making it difficult for him to breathe.
Corinne's lips twitched. "Mister, I'm okay."
Jeremy frowned. "Why did you go to the hospital if you're okay? By the way, which hospital are you at right now?"
Corinne was starting to get a headache. "Lucas broke his foot when he tried to save me from getting hit by a car. He can't walk at the moment and he lost his phone, so we have no way of contacting his family. I can't carry him either, so…"
Jeremy heaved a sigh of relief. "You're not allowed to carry him even if you have the strength to do so. Wait right there. I'll be there right away."
"Okay," Corinne replied with a nod before hanging up the phone.
Jeremy put away his phone and looked at his subordinates, who were looking back at him with mouths agape. "Meeting's over," he announced coldly.
He then quickly walked out of the meeting room.
His subordinates immediately broke out in a spirited discussion after he left the room.
"Who do you think it was that called Mister Jeremy just now? It was the first time I ever saw him panicking like that."
"It must be a woman!"
"I never heard that Mister Jeremy is in a relationship with anyone. He even ignored all the women who tried to get close to him! There are even some rumors going around that Mister Jeremy doesn't like women…"

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...
