Jeremy was indeed surprised, but he was shocked at why a man would be knocking at his door at this late hour. That was all. He did not understand what Lucas was saying at all.
"Who are you?" he asked.
Lucas was stunned by the question. His sneer became even more obvious when he remarked, "What's the matter? Did you lose your memory or something?"
"Yes, I did. Judging by the way you're talking to me, I'm guessing we used to be enemies?" asked Jeremy calmly.
Lucas was incensed by his nonchalance. "You b*stard! Do you have any idea how long Corinne has been looking for you? You've wasted three years of her life!"
Jeremy felt a slight ache in his heart when he heard the name 'Corinne'.
"Who's Corinne?" he asked with a raised eyebrow.
Lucas grabbed him by the collar. "I should've never let Corinne marry a b*stard like you!"
At that moment, the sound of an elevator door opening could be heard coming from the corridor.
Jeremy glanced in the direction of the elevator before pushing Lucas' hand away. "I can't talk now. Come back tomorrow afternoon at two o'clock. She'll be going out for an hour, so we can talk then."
Lucas let go of his collar and looked toward the corridor. He immediately understood what was going on when he heard the sound of high heels clacking on the ground.
He threw one last cold glance at Jeremy before turning around and going back to his suite.
Sophia did not see anyone in the corridor when she turned around the corner, but she did hear the sound of the door closing.
Alarmed, she strode quickly to her presidential suite and opened the door with her key card to see Jeremy just about to turn around in his wheelchair.
"Zachary, did someone come just now?" she asked as she looked around the room to check for signs of other people having been inside.
"How did it go, Mister Lucas? Is the man staying in the opposite suite really Mister Jeremy?" asked Edmund when Lucas walked into his suite.
Lucas shook his head vaguely. "That guy doesn't know me. I don't know whether he's faking it or if he has really lost his memory."
"He lost his memory?" asked Edmund in shock.
Lucas sat on the sofa and took a sip of water. "It seems like he's being controlled by Sophia. He told me to go back tomorrow afternoon at two o'clock to talk since she'd be out then."
Edmund frowned with alarm. "Be careful, Mister Lucas. It might be a trap."
Lucas nodded. He was well aware of that, too.
Edmund pointed to the phone on the coffee table and said, "Mister Lucas, Miss Corinne called you just now. I told her you'll give her a call later. Mister Maxwell called you as well, but I didn't dare to answer on your behalf."

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...
