As soon as Anya appeared, the female employee immediately held her arm as though she was her last hope. "Miss Anya, thank goodness you're here! I don't know why, but Mister Lucas just fired me. Please help me get my job back!"
Anya shook her off with disgust as though she had just been touched by something dirty. "Get off me! Why should I help you get your job back? You're nothing but a lowly nobody!"
The female employee was stunned. She looked at Anya in disbelief. "Miss Anya? Didn't you say you see a lot of potential in me? You've even asked me to keep an eye on Corinne for you, and—"
Anya hated how she was blocking her path, so she pushed her away. "I can't believe you're stupid enough to believe what I said! You should take a good look in the mirror, you idiot!"
The woman fell to the floor and immediately broke down crying. Not only was she fired from her job, but Anya abandoned her, too! 'What have I done to deserve this?' she wailed internally.
In her mind, Anya was the kindest person she ever met, so she could not believe she would turn out to be so cold-blooded.
…
Meanwhile, in the Rivera Group building's cafeteria.
The bustling cafeteria fell silent because of Lucas' arrival. No one dared to speak, and the only sounds that could be heard were the scraping of the plates and the chewing of the food.
Lucas picked out all the carrots in the dishes before pushing the plate to Corinne. "There, all the carrots are gone. You can eat now, Corinne."
Corinne frowned at the carrot-less dishes. She then looked up at Lucas and said, "But carrots are one of my favorites. Why did you take them out?"

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...
