The Day I Kissed An Older Man novel Chapter 973
Aaron and Xante both turned to look at the yawning Corinne after she got into the car.
"Boss, you're here alone? Why didn't the Holdens arrange an entourage to support you? Where's Mister Jeremy?" asked Aaron unhappily.
Xante was similarly displeased, too. "Yeah. Why didn't the Holdens come, too? Are they worried you'll lose the competition, that this is their way of leaving themselves a way out?"
Corinne shook her head tiredly. "You guys are overthinking things. It was Jeremy who dropped me off. I don't think this competition is a big deal, so I asked him to go to work."
Aaron frowned. "So he went to work just like you asked him to? Does he even love you? How can he abandon you to the reporters? Isn't he worried that they'll eat you up?"
Corinne raised her eyebrow nonchalantly. "As if I'll let them eat me up."
Aaron shrugged. "I know you won't 'cause you're a true straight-A student, but it's not like Jeremy knows you as I do!"
"It's not like he can do much if he stays for the competition. His presence will only fuel the flames. The main thing is I don't want the media to tie me too closely with the Holdens. This way, there'll be a less likely chance of Holden Group's share price dropping again should I get involved in another scandal. It's best to keep them guessing whether I'm really married to Jeremy."
After thinking it over, Aaron thought what Corinne said made sense. "Fine. But my heart really goes out to you, Boss. I mean, what's the point of having a husband if you can't lean on him in times like this?"
Corinne side-eyed him. "Just mind your own business. What's the status of the thing I asked you to do last time?"
Aaron smiled. "Which one, Boss? You asked me to do so many that I don't know which one you're talking about."
Of course, he knew exactly which 'thing' Corinne was talking about.
Corinne's eyes darkened. "Stop playing dumb! Is Annie still working at the company?"

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...
