'Something must be wrong with his assets for him to be in such a hurry to sell them off!' thought Corinne.
She was carefully reading the report Xante sent her when her phone rang. She kept her eyes on the laptop screen while her hand moved to find her phone.
"Hey, Corinne. What are you doing now?" greeted Jason through the phone.
She had not seen him for so long that she almost forgot he existed.
"Why are you calling me?" she asked indifferently. She was in work mode.
Jason sighed with mock disappointment. "Corinne, can't you be nicer to me? We're business partners. Is this really how you want to treat your business partner?"
Corinne raised an eyebrow. "How should I treat you then? Should I call you Jay-jay in a sickeningly sweet voice?"
Jason smiled. "Yes, you should! I'll be very happy if you call me that!"
She continued to read the report Xante sent her. After she finished, she got the gist of what Adam was up to. She then changed into her work clothes and went downstairs. She tasked the servant to drop the kids off at kindergarten before leaving the house.
Once she arrived at her company, she was raring to start work, but Jason was already waiting for her at her office. Her expression immediately darkened when she saw him.
Being the smart guy he was, Jason could instantly tell his presence was not appreciated. Nonetheless, he did not care. He smiled nonchalantly and said, "Corinne, you're late by a minute! It's not a good look to the staff if the president of the company is late. We should lead by example!"
Corinne glared at him and said sarcastically while opening her door, "Thanks for the reminder, but why don't you worry about yourself first? It's Monday morning, so you should be in your own office instead of here. How is that leading by example?"

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...
