Jeremy walked to Corinne and took her coffee cup from her hands to sip. "So, where are you taking me?"
"You'll know when we're there. But first, let me bring you up to speed on everything that has happened in the company over the past three years."
Jeremy stroked her head. "That won't be necessary. I already got the gist of everything during the meeting I had just now. We can go to this mysterious place you want to take me right now."
Corinne looked up at him. She was secretly annoyed at him. 'What a flirt! Why does he have to make everything sound dirtier than I mean? It's not like I'm going to bring him to a s*x dungeon or something.'
She swiped away his hand, stood up, and pulled him by the tie. "Let's go, then!"
Jeremy put down the cup of coffee and let Corinne drag him out of the office.
The first person to be shocked was the secretary. 'Miss Corinne is like a dominatrix, leading out Mister Jeremy like a dog!'
The rest of the employees were shocked. They looked on in awe as they watched Corinne pull Jeremy into the elevator.
'Okay, we definitely don't want to mess with her!' they thought.
Ding!
Corinne released her grip on Jeremy's tie after the elevator door closed.
Jeremy straightened himself and loosened his tie since it tightened due to Corinne's tug.
"How am I supposed to run the company if you embarrass me in front of the employees like that, little rascal?" he asked.
Corinne glanced at him with annoyance. "Well, you embarrassed me yesterday!"
"What do you mean? How did I embarrass you yesterday?" asked Jeremy with a smirk.
Corinne scoffed. "Forget about what happened yesterday! But this morning, you asked Grandma to let me sleep because I had an exhausting day yesterday. You misled her into thinking we…"
She could not finish her sentence.
Corinne shook her head. "I'm fine. I'm just taking you to meet someone."
Ding!
The elevator door opened. Corinne held his hand and led him out into the car.
Meanwhile, at Apex Hospital.
Emily's overall condition had improved a great deal since she met with Corinne, but there were also some negative effects. Namely, she would keep staring at the door blankly, hoping that her daughter would come.
Melinda had just served a bowl of chicken soup to Emily. Seeing that she did not take it because she was still staring at the door, Melinda sighed and advised, "Emily, stop staring at the door. Corinne must be busy. I'm sure she'll come when she's free!"
Emily came to her senses and took the chicken soup Melinda offered her. "Okay…"
Melinda shook her head helplessly and sat on the chair next to her.

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...
