"Is this Francine? Your brother is still sleeping. Did something urgent happen? Should I wake him up, or do you want to call him again later?" asked the woman.
At the mention of her name, Francine immediately realized the woman obviously knew Jeremy well. However, she did not recognize the woman's voice, so she had no idea whether it was anyone from their circle of friends.
Still, she knew she should not say more in front of Corinne, so she said to the woman on the phone, "It's nothing urgent. I'll call him again later."
After that, she quickly hung up the phone and looked toward Corinne to check her reaction. If it were any other woman, she would have snatched the phone away from Francine and asked the same question Francine did, or even straight away cursing her.
However, Corinne was not any other woman—she did not even react. She simply looked away and said nothing.
'Sh*t. Her reaction is not normal. This is all my fault. I should say something to help Jeremy out…' thought Francine. Thus, she quickly explained, "Corinne, I'm sure this is just a misunderstanding. That woman is probably the personal assistant my brother hired for his business trip since Tommy didn't go with him this time. I mean, have you seen him without a personal assistant before? Let me tell you, he's useless without one."
Corinne smiled calmly. "Can a mere personal assistant go into his room when he's still sleeping and pick up his calls?"
Francine scratched her head. "Umm… Maybe that personal assistant snuck in without my brother's knowing so she could seduce him! I mean, it's not that surprising if you really think about it. Even I have to admit Jeremy is quite the catch. But you should know he'd never do anything to hurt you."
Corinne laughed out loud. "Fine. Whatever. Believe him all you want. I'm just going to take my shower and sleep now."
After that, she walked back into the mansion and up to her room to shower.

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...
