'Huh. What's the point of groveling in front of me now? If it weren't for the fact that he lost his uncle's support today, he'd probably continue to bully others,' thought Rita.
Her heart hardened once more when she realized that so many interns had suffered at his hands.
"You're only pretending to be pitiful because I said I'd sue you. Did you ever have a shred of regret when you were bullying us newcomers? No. In fact, you seemed pretty happy about it. But why wouldn't you be? After all, you're getting something for nothing by stealing our materials and articles."
Lenny sighed, wanting Rita to stop. The entire entertainment department would be the laughingstock of the company if this got to other departments.
However, some of the colleagues present started from the bottom too, where Chase had also stolen articles from them. They all crowded in front of the boss.
"Yeah, you were so giddy when you were stealing our articles! Who are you pretending to be pitiful for now?"
Lenny understood, too. Everyone was angry, so he decided not to stop them. Otherwise, they might turn against him, which would not be worth it.
"I know my mistake. I really regret what I did, and I promise I won't do it again! Plus, I've been fired now, haven't I? I really won't do it again in the future. Please forgive me just this once!"
Anyone who saw him in such a sorry, red-in-the-eyes state would never have imagined that he was so arrogant just 15 minutes ago.
"Sorry, Chase, but I've always been someone who settles scores. I can't learn to turn the other cheek."
"That's enough! A grown man like you should be ashamed of crying on the ground like this. You have hands and feet, so even if you don't work as a reporter, you can still support yourself through other jobs. It's not like you'll die if you don't have your uncle supporting you. Besides, you should have thought about this before you started smearing your colleagues. Don't tell me you've never ever considered what would happen if your actions were exposed?"
The other colleagues remained silent, so Rita naturally did not want to say more.
In the end, Chase had no choice but to get up. He glanced back at his workstation. He did not want to clean it up, but if he left it as it was, his colleagues would probably throw away all of his stuff.
There was still a glimmer of hope in his heart that maybe after this incident, his uncle could rearrange for him to come back. However, he did not expect Lenny to stand by his side and watch as he cleaned up his stuff, signaling that a newcomer was about to take his place.

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...
