Anya frowned innocently. "I know that I was wrong when I didn't treat Corinne well in the past, but I don't think you should treat her that well. Corinne is Jeremy's wife, so she's considered a member of the Holdens, too. The Riveras haven't been on good terms with the Holdens for quite some time. If you treat her too nicely, others might think that we're weak…"
Lucas frowned. "Corinne and the Holdens are two separate entities! Why do you think we shouldn't treat her well? It should be you, of all people, who are supposed to be more polite to her!"
Anya was a little afraid when she heard Lucas' tone. She said hurriedly, "I treat her with the utmost respect, Lucas! I even offered to give her a ride today! You've never been mean to her, so I just think you shouldn't lower yourself for her. I feel heartbroken when I see you like that..."
Lucas glared coldly at her. "You don't need to feel that way for me."
He then turned around and went back into the office.
Since Edmund was not around to stop Anya from following him, she bit her lip begrudgingly and followed Lucas in with her lunch box.
Outside the building, Corinne closed her eyes when someone knocked on the glass window and woke her up.
"Miss Corinne!" Edmund called softly.
Corinne woke up from her nap. She lowered the car window and said lazily, "Oh, it's you, Edmund. What's up?"
Edmund quite liked it when Corinne spoke to him in a less-formal tone. He was never very friendly with her because of Lucas, yet she never held it against him and treated him politely nonetheless.
"As you're already here, Mister Lucas invited you to come up and have a meal."
Corinne waved her hand to reject the offer. "I appreciate the gesture, but I'll be fine on my own."

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...
