Edmund looked at the ice cream kiosk and said, "How about you head up first? I'll get the ice cream for you. Just let me know which flavor you'd like!"
"Vanilla, please." Corinne took out a banknote and handed it to him. "Here's the money for the ice cream!"
Edmund was about to wave his hand and refuse when he saw the frown on Corinne's face. She seemed to be warning him that she would not go up if he did not take the money from her.
Edmund had no choice but to accept the money before waiting in line.
Since she had someone to help buy the ice cream, Corinne immediately made her way into the company.
Unexpectedly, she ran into an acquaintance soon as she entered the elevator.
A beautifully dressed woman with red lips was startled to see Corinne enter the elevator. She remarked in an odd tone, "Well, if it isn't Corinne! You were formerly Mister Lucas' secretary and was later promoted to the sales manager role, right?"
Corinne recognized her as one of the staff members.
After Lucas transferred her to the sales department, the same female employee replaced her as Lucas' secretary. However, she could not remember the woman's name at that time.
Corinne tended not to concern herself with unimportant people, and she simply nodded with a smile. "Long time no see."
The female employee purposely moved closer to Corinne and said teasingly, "I heard that you were fired by Mister Lucas! Why are you here today?"
Corinne replied lazily. "For lunch."
The female employee frowned and sneered. "Lunch? Do you think our company is a restaurant that you can come to whenever you want? Don't be so silly!"

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...
