Sunny shrugged his shoulders. "Okay, then. I'll go for a walk there and come back at noon to get some lunch. Your treat, of course!"
Corinne glanced at him in disdain and placed down her coffee cup. "I'm pretty sure that's the main reason you came here."
Sunny got up with a grin and strolled out. He did not want to disturb Corinne at work.
Corinne sat alone for a while with a complicated expression on her face. She seemed to be in deep thought, but she soon got up and went to work.
Sunny left to spend time with a friend who owned a cyber cafe in the city. As it neared noon, he was invited to join them for a meal, which he declined. Once he had enough fun, he left the place and made his way back to Corinne's company.
One of his friends handed him a low-alcohol drink while he was gaming, so he felt that it was unsafe for him to drive. He decided it would be best to take a taxi.
Along the way, he passed by his family's company, and Sunny had a sudden idea. He asked the driver to stop the car for a while and took out his cell phone to call Lucas.
"Where are you, Lucas? Let's have lunch together at noon. I'm meeting Corinne for lunch!"
Lucas replied sonorously, "My hands are a little full this afternoon, so I can't make it. Behave yourself, and don't make Corinne angry."
Sunny smiled heartily and said, "I'm not the naive kid I was ten years ago, okay? I'm a man now. I won't make her angry."
Lucas responded, "I hope so."
'Is Lucas in a relationship? Is he meeting a woman secretly during lunch break?' Sunny found Lucas' 'romantic escapades' to be more intriguing than having lunch with Corinne, so he told the taxi driver to turn around and follow the car.
Lucas drove to the hotel where he stayed the previous night. Rather than check out, he swiped his card and entered the suite that he checked into the day before. The hotel was not very close to the company, and traffic congestion that resulted from a traffic accident meant that Lucas took more than an hour to reach the hotel. Edmund had been staying in that suite, quietly observing movement in the opposite room through a peephole.
Lucas was concerned about the possibility of a trap, and that Jeremy's promise to meet the next day at 2 p.m. was merely a delaying tactic. For those reasons, he stationed Edmund there to keep an eye on things. However, there had been no movement thus far, and no one had left the room yet.
Once Lucas entered the suite, he took off his coat and sat on the sofa to check the time. It was already past one, and the agreed meeting time with Jeremy was less than an hour away.
Should Edmund see Sophia leave, he would go to the other suite to hear Jeremy's explanation for the three-year disappearance.

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...
