"So I'm not someone?" asked Chester sarcastically.
"Okay, okay. Stop teasing me. I have to keep my attention on Anya to see if she's up to no good again!" said Francine shyly.
"Sure," said Chester. After that, he quietly observed Anya with Francine.
What they saw was Anya talking seriously—sometimes gritting her teeth—to the man opposite her as though they were deep in an important conversation.
The man opposite her looked to be in his early forties. He would nod and bow to Anya from time to time. It was obvious he was working for her.
After 15 minutes or so, the man got up and left, leaving Anya alone in the coffee house sipping her coffee in a daze and lost in thought. Not long after that, she left too.
Francine wanted to follow Anya after she came out of the coffee house, but Chester stopped her.
"She's going to find out we've been spying on her if we tail her now," he said.
"I just want to see whether she's going home or meeting up with someone else," replied Francine worriedly.
As a third party, Chester was able to remain level-headed.
"Since she's already out of jail, it'll be easy for your family to get someone to look into her. You're only going to expose yourself if you follow her now, and it'll be harder to know what she's getting up to."
After thinking about it, Francine thought Chester was right. It would indeed be easier for her to expose herself in broad daylight. What if her impulsiveness cost them the whole operation?
Thus, she called Xante instead to ask her to look into when Anya was released and what she had been up to so far.
The two of them chatted all the way to the cinema.
…
Meanwhile, in Newmoon Group's building.
Xante became restless after getting the call from Francine. Like her, she was worried that Anya would cause trouble for Corinne again, exacerbating her already tricky situation.
Just right after Xante had instructed her subordinate to look into Anya, Sunny pushed open the door to her office and swaggered in.
"Hey, Xante!"

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...
