"Hello? Karen, is that you? Did you call me?"
Karen remained silent as the voice of the man on the other end sounded anxious.
"I know you wouldn't call me for no reason. Is something wrong? Whatever it is, I can help you!"
"Esmond..."
Karen's voice excited the man on the other end. "After all these years, I finally got a call from you. Whatever it is, I can help you with anything. I'm just glad you're still willing to call me by my name," he eagerly responded.
Karen clenched her teeth and made up her mind in that instant. "Esmond, I need you to deal with a woman for me."
"Say no more. I have many men working for me, so dealing with any woman is a piece of cake."
"Her name is Rita Russell. She's a reporter."
Esmond frowned. "Rita Russell? Isn't she the annoying woman who's been on our backs lately?"
"What do you mean?"
"Oh, it's an internal matter of our company. It's been a long time since we sold that piece of land, but it's still causing us problems. There's this damn reporter who won't leave our company alone. It's really annoying. Seems like it's the same Rita Russell you're talking about. Since she's causing trouble for both me and you, there's no need for her to stick around. Hmph!"
Karen hung up the phone before Esmond could finish speaking.
Esmond's face wore a smile that could only be described as happiness, leaving his henchman dumbfounded.
Their boss was famous in the industry as the 'heartless killer', yet this woman seemed to possess some magical charm, making him smile like an ordinary man.
"You're right, Boss. Back then, you were just too young. It's normal for men to make mistakes when they're young. Luckily, your ex-lover is willing to come back. I wonder when we'll have the honor of seeing her again!"
Esmond had a smile on his face. "Soon. By the way, did you manage to find out about the woman I asked you to look into?"
The henchman nodded with vigor. "Boss, I handled the task you gave me right away. But it's different from what we expected. This female reporter comes from a notable family. She's the eldest daughter of the Russell family. I'm concerned that if we lay a hand on her, it might cause trouble with the Russell family."
Esmond lit a cigarette casually. "So what if she's the eldest daughter of the Russell family? That means they have another daughter, right? So it shouldn't be a big deal if we get rid of one. If her own family doesn't care about her, why should we?"

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...
