Corinne narrowed her eyes. "What do you mean? How is he playing with my feelings?"
Aaron opened his mouth, but not knowing where to start, he closed it again. He then nudged Xante, saying, "Xante, why don't you tell her?"
Xante gave him a side-eye before pushing up her gold-rimmed glasses. She looked at Corinne warily and said, "Boss, I didn't want to tell you 'cause you look so happy with Mister Jeremy. Plus, some things are better kept in the dark to keep the peace."
"You know I don't like things being kept hidden from me. Now tell me what's going on," said Corinne with a frown.
Xante sighed. "The two of us went to Molomia to look into what Mister Jeremy was doing there after we found out something was off about him. While it's true his company does have a few new projects there, that's not really why he went there."
Corinne's gaze darkened. "Then why did he go there?"
"He'd meet up with a woman named Sophia almost every day. The way they behaved toward each other was too close for comfort, so I looked into her and…"
Xante found it hard to continue.
"And what? Go on. Spit it out now. Don't leave me hanging like that!" Corinne scolded with a frown.
Xante took a deep breath before continuing, "We found out Mister Jeremy and Sophia were actually legally married in Molomia, and…even now, their marriage still stands."
The light in the room was too dim for either of them to see Corinne's expression. She kept chewing on her straw and would drink from her glass from time to time. After a long moment of silence, she finally said, "Do you have a picture of Sophia?"
"Boss, what's your next step gonna be?" asked Aaron worriedly.
Corinne said nothing. She simply put down her glass and walked out of the room.
'What should I do? What should I do?' she kept asking herself.
Aaron got up to follow her out, but Xante stopped him.
"Give her some space, Aaron. You going after her will only make things worse for 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...
