However, Anya did not give up.
"I promise it won't take long. I just want to ask Corinne a few questions. Lucas won't know if we don't tell him! And even if he did know, he won't blame you."
Edmund was unmoved. "Sorry, Miss Anya, but I can't go against Mister Lucas' order. You should also go take care of Joey like he asked you to."
'He's only a lowly employee. In fact, he's nothing but Lucas' b*tch! How dare he stop me from doing what I want?' thought Anya angrily.
Anya was already in a bad mood from having her previous plan foiled, so she lost all patience in dealing with Edmund. She glared vehemently at him and hissed, "P*ss off, Edmund! I'm going in, no matter what!"
Edmund was shocked. He had always thought Anya to be sweet and caring, and this was the first time he had seen this side of her. It stood to reason he found the whole thing hard to believe.
At that moment, Corinne opened the door and stepped out. Seeing this, Anya faked a grin. "Oh hey, Corinne! You're opening the door to let me in, right? Can you believe Edmund wouldn't let me in just now?"
Corinne threw a bored glance at Anya before turning to look at Edmund indifferently. "Mister Edmund," she called him respectfully.
Edmund continued to block Anya from going in. He turned his head back slightly and asked, "Yes, Miss Corinne?"
Corinne yawned lazily. "I'm a little thirsty."
"Please wait a moment. I'll have the servant bring you some water immediately," said Edmund respectfully.
Corinne nodded. "Make it warm water, please. And put in a slice of lemon, too."

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...
