Jason frowned for a second before shrugging and smiling. "Fine. Turn on the heater all you want. But remember to come find me after you're done with your meeting."
Corinne nodded. "If you're still here, that is."
Jason grinned. "Don't worry. I will be here."
After that, Jason followed Corinne's secretary out of the office.
'Finally, some peace,' thought Corinne. She did not waste any time getting to work. She turned on her laptop to do some paperwork in preparation for the meeting later.
Collaborating with Talbot Group was something the board of directors unanimously approved and was not something Corinne decided alone.
As much as she did not like Jason, she was immensely grateful for him helping her out in the past. However, she could not return his feelings. Thus, when Jason proposed the two companies working together to develop the piece of land in Serenity Bay, Corinne immediately agreed to bring up the idea in the board of directors meeting. As to whether they would give her the green light, that was something she had no say in.
In the end, the board of directors thought the land owned by Talbot Group would provide a strategic advantage to the company should they work together, so the project was given the green light.
However, Corinne did not expect that the project would give Jason a legitimate reason to pester her.
'What? He still stayed even with the heater cranked up that high? Anyone in their right mind would have left by now! Could it be that he has fainted already?' thought Corinne.
She quickly went to the lounge area. A flood of heatwave immediately washed over her when she pushed open the door, causing her to sweat.
'How could he possibly take this heat?' She walked in but found no sign of Jason after looking around. 'He must've secretly slipped out with his tail between his legs.'
She breathed a sigh of relief and was just about to leave the room when someone jumped out and pounced on her. She did not even have the chance to react before she found herself pinned to the wall.

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...
