Annie snapped out of her trance. "Yes, Corinne?"
"You can go back to work if you want. I'm perfectly okay right here, so you don't have to stay the whole day with me. Though, I won't mind you dropping in from time to time."
Annie shook her head resolutely. "No. I've promised Uncle Jeremy I'll take care of you, so I cannot go back on my word."
Corinne shook her head. "I'll explain everything to him. Plus, you don't have to listen to everything he says. That workaholic thinks only his work is important, while yours isn't. That's why he didn't think twice about asking you to take care of me. Don't pay him any mind."
Annie did not mind taking care of Corinne. "It's okay, Corinne. I've already asked for some time off from work. Mister Aaron was actually the one who approved my leave and arranged for another colleague to take over my work for the time being."
Hearing this, Corinne rolled her eyes at him. 'He approved of Annie's time off work, yet he told me he didn't know she'd be here. Huh! Once a liar, always a liar.'
Corinne sighed. She wanted Annie to leave because she knew the longer she stayed in the room, the more hurt she would be by Aaron's actions.
"Boss, I've already arranged for someone to take over Miss Annie's work, so why don't you let her stay? She seems like she really wants to take care of you," said Aaron with a smile when he overheard their conversation.
Corinne would have slapped him if his girlfriend was not present.
Noting that he did not receive any response, Aaron smiled and said, "Miss Annie, I know I shouldn't ask since you're on leave, but might I trouble you to do something for me?"
Annie started blushing madly. She looked toward Aaron's girlfriend. As conflicted as she felt, she nodded. "I'll do anything I can to help you, Mister Aaron."

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...
