When Aaron saw that Gibby was still in a state of shock, he tapped the table and asked, "Is something wrong? Are you skeptical about the authenticity of my business card?"
After taking the business card, Gibby glanced at Aaron's bespoke suit and noticed that the latter had an aura that only higher-ups in a company could exude. He still had his doubts, so he said to Aaron, "I'll believe you if you succeed in getting me a job at Newmoon Group."
That shameless request made Aaron laugh. "You've got some nerve making that request."
Gibby crossed his arms haughtily. "Oh? Does that mean you can't do it? What a shame. This all but proves that you're bluffing!"
"Honestly," Aaron began with a smile, "I don't have to prove my identity to you at all. But since you're a top graduate from a prestigious university, I won't mind having someone of your talents join our company."
Annie looked at Aaron in shock. 'Why in the world would you hire someone who has only academic qualifications for show?'
Gibby was elated by that remark. Though the blind date was a failure, getting a job at a prestigious company was a fortuitously welcome outcome. "You have good judgment, Mister Aaron. What position are you offering?"
"You'll find out tomorrow when you clock in. I can safely say that you'll be assigned to a position that's commensurate with your abilities."
Gibby slipped Aaron's business card happily into his pocket. "I'll hold you to that, Mister Aaron. I'll show this business card to your company's human resources department tomorrow."
He then promptly stood up and excused himself. His initial intention was just to sleep with Annie, so it was not that big of a deal to let Aaron have her.
"Wait," Aaron stopped him once again.
Gibby glared at Annie. It would be inappropriate for him to treat Annie badly in front of Aaron. For the sake of the job, he put on a hypocritical smile and said, "Miss Annie, let's not dwell on who started first. Whatever it is, I apologize if my earlier behavior has upset you."
Annie was revolted by his insincerity. "I don't accept your apology."
Gibby, unfazed by Annie's response, turned to Aaron. "I've already apologized to her. That should be enough to demonstrate my deep respect for women."
Aaron—who was resting his arm on the chair's armrest while propping up his forehead with his hand—replied with a half-smile, "What were you about to do to Miss Annie when I first arrived?"
Gibby's expression froze before he laughed awkwardly. "As I said, I was angry at the time. Besides, you intervened in time, so I technically didn't do anything."

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...
