Corinne recalled David's housekeeper telling them he was with a friend when they arrived. Thus, she decided to believe Jason for the time being.
"So you're friends with Doctor David, huh?" said Corinne.
Jason smiled cheekily. "Of course! I have lots of friends since I'm such a good guy."
Corinne's lips twitched out of annoyance. "Sure, sure."
Jason dangled his car key in front of her. "Let's go. I'll give you two a ride home."
Corinne looked around at the taxi-less neighborhood, and then at the dazed Benjamin in her arms. After thinking about it, she decided to take Jason up on his offer.
"Okay, thanks. I appreciate the help," she said.
Jason sighed. "Corinne, how many times do I need to tell you that you don't have to be so formal with me? We're friends."
Corinne glanced sideways at him. "We might be friends, but we're still members of the opposite sex. It's best to keep a little distance between us so that other people won't talk."
"Fine…" In truth, Jason wished others would mistake them for husband and wife.
Jason smiled. "Yes. I want to ask you what you plan to do with that piece of land."
Corinne looked out of the window at the passing scenery. "I haven't really decided. Since that piece of land was bought using Holden Group's name, I'll need to use it according to what would be most beneficial to the company. I'm going to hold a board of directors meeting soon."
"I understand. The location is certainly perfect for developing a landmark commercial area. Can we work together if Holden Group decides to do just that?" asked Jason.
Corinne turned to look at him. "Talbot Group wants to work with Holden Group on this project?"
"I do have that intention in mind," said Jason honestly, "because Talbot Group also has a piece of land near Serenity Bay, but it isn't as big as the one Holden Group has. Due to the size, it's really hard to do anything about it. It'll be a win-win if Holden Group can work together with Talbot Group to develop the two pieces of land together."

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...
