Corinne kept quiet and did not even look at the woman. Instead, she raised her hand and used her pinky to dig into her ear as if she had heard some noise.
Corinne's calmness irked the woman. She grabbed Corinne angrily. "Hey! I'm talking to you! Are you deaf? Why aren't you answering me? Have you no manners, you b*tch?!"
The elevator doors opened with a ding.
Lucas was about to enter the elevator. His expression darkened when he saw what was happening inside.
Time seemed to pass very slowly after he knew Corinne was just outside the building. He was a little anxious in waiting for Edmund to come up with her, and he was also worried that Edmund would not be able to persuade her to come up. Fearing that Corinne might leave, he decided to head downstairs and fetch her. However, he was surprised when he saw the scene in the elevator.
"What are you doing?" Lucas asked sternly.
The female employee was taken aback when she turned and saw her boss just outside the elevator. She felt a little awkward, so she quickly tried to explain herself, "Mister Lucas, do you remember her? You fired her some time ago, and she's back today for some unknown reason! I asked her what business she was here for, but she just kept quiet! She's so suspicious! I have a hunch that she's here to steal our business secrets, so I just—"
"Let her go," Lucas interjected.
The employee was startled by his frigid expression. She released Corinne right away.
Lucas strode into the elevator and gently grabbed Corinne's hand to check if she was okay.
His expression soured as soon as he noticed that her wrists were red. He turned around and asked coldly, "Which department are you in?"

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...
