Jason shrugged and grinned nonchalantly. He then followed Corinne into the office.
"I am working, though. It's part of my job to come here and talk to you about work. Hence, I am leading by example by being a hardworking employer."
Corinne walked to her desk. She could feel Jason moving closer to her. It was an annoying habit of his; he would deliberately try to get close to her so their bodies would touch while talking.
She turned and casually pulled out a chair. "Mister Jason, please have a seat. We should treat this as a business meeting since we're going to talk about work. I'm afraid that it'll be hard to draw a line between personal and work if you're too close to me."
Jason smiled and sat on the chair. "Thank you, Corinne."
Corinne walked to her desk and sat opposite him. "So, what do you want to discuss with me?" she asked while looking at him lightly.
Jason's expression turned serious. "It's about the piece of land in Serenity Bay we're going to develop. I was thinking we could section out an area to build an art gallery. What do you think?"
Corinne gave his idea some serious thought before saying, "Which area do you have in mind."
"It's difficult for me to explain which area. If you're free, maybe we can go over so I can show you the area. It'll also be easier for me to explain some of the ideas for how I want the art gallery to look like."
Corinne looked at the time on her wristwatch. "I'm not free in the morning. I have an important meeting later."
Jason shrugged. "It's okay. I have nothing important to do anyway, so I'll wait here for you. We can go for lunch and then to Serenity Bay after you've finished your meeting."
"Fine, I'll wait in the lounge. But you should know how chilled to the bone I am by your attitude…"
Jason knew Corinne was not joking. He would not be surprised if she asked security to escort him out.
Seeing Jason leave her office to go to the lounge area, Corinne said in a loud voice so that her staff could hear, "Mister Jason doesn't like the cold! Remember to turn on the heater for him."
Jason turned around in shock. "Corinne, it's scorching hot outside! Why did you ask your staff to turn on the heater for me? You don't want me to wait for you that much?"
Corinne smiled. "Didn't you just say you were chilled to the bone by my attitude? Well, you won't be anymore with the heater turned on."

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...
