The Day I Kissed An Older Man novel Chapter 18
Chapter 18
Corinne tilted her head as she looked at Aaron, who immediately understood her hint due to years of tacit understanding with her.
After clearing his throat, he raised his hand to adjust the Bluetooth earpiece he wore out of habit on his left ear, and walked past Jeremy and Corinne in as calm a manner as possible.
He even made a point to lower his voice a little and pretend as if he was speaking to someone over the phone.
“Sorry, Boss. Things got a little awkward earlier. That Holden guy overheard me when I was ranting about him earlier. Well, yeah! He’s the one who outbid us on your favorite painting! Sure. we’ll just forget about it and let him have it! ‘Geese in Late Autumn’ isn’t Nellie Nymphaea’s only painting. There are plenty of other ones we can get in the future!”
Aaron was already quite far away when he ended his sentence.
Corinne stared wide-eyed at Jeremy and cocked her eyebrow innocently. “I think he’s angry at you, mister.”
Jeremy retracted his gaze and turned to Corinne. He began to question her, “Don’t the two of you know each other?”
Corinne shook her head. “I don’t know him at all! Do you? Why was he angry at you again?”
Jeremy narrowed his eyes. “You haven’t answered me yet. What are you doing here?”
Corinne sighed in an annoyed tone. “Don’t you remember that I was fired from Alpha Enterprises, thanks to you? I heard that they’re recruiting auctioneers here, so I submitted my resume and came here for an interview.”
Jeremy was still rather doubtful. “Did you get the offer then?”
Corinne shook her head, shrugged her shoulders, and spread her palms. “No. They were looking for someone with more than three years of work experience, so I didn’t meet the requirements.”
Jeremy looked at her petite appearance. If she were allowed to stand on the auction stage, everyone would probably mistake her for someone who was auctioning off school supplies.
Corinne looked up and asked, “And what about you? Why are you
here?”
“Grandpa was interested in a set of bronze artifacts, so I came over as his representative to bid for it.”
“That’s so nice of you, mister. You really are a good grandson!”

The readers' comments on the novel: The Day I Kissed An Older Man
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...
