The Day I Kissed An Older Man

Aaron came out in no time. Two minutes after the call, in fact. However, his attitude did not make Sunny happy.
“I’m so jealous of your youth, Mister Sunny,” he teased. “I can’t even remember when was the last time someone mistook me for
a minor.”
Sunny scoffed and said, “What’s so good about being young? I can’t wait until I’m thirty years old! Where is Xante? Bring me to
her.”
Aaron shrugged and gestured with his chin toward the passageway that led to multiple private rooms. “Mister Sunny, don’t blame
me for not warning you, but you should control your temper once you see her. Don’t do anything rash, okay?”
Sunny frowned with confusion. “Why would I do anything rash? What’s Xante doing inside?” he asked with alarm.
Aaron smiled. “You’ll know soon enough. I’m just reminding you that a truly mature man knows how to keep his temper in check.”
Sunny waved his hand with annoyance. “Fine. I get it. So exactly which of the private rooms is she in?”
Aaron pointed at a door not far from where they were. Sunny swaggered toward the door and opened it without hesitation.
It was a very large VIP private room. A sweet floral smell immediately greeted Sunny when he opened the door as every surface
was filled with rose petals. Not only that, but there were many balloons, ribbons, and other fresh flowers arranged in the shape of
a heart all over the place.
Sunny’s expression instantly darkened. No one in the room noticed his arrival. The couple inside was too engrossed in their
conversation under the romantic candle-lit atmosphere.
Sunny could not locate Xante until he walked further in and saw her sitting at the bar were clinking glasses, and their faces were
too close to each other for Sunny’s comfort.
Exploding with rage, Sunny was about to rush over when a hand clamped down heavily on his shoulder.
“Mister Sunny, have you forgotten what I told you outside the room just now? A truly mature man knows how to keep his temper
in check. Plus, Xante doesn’t like guys who put her in embarrassing situations.”
Sunny took a deep breath to suppress his anger before glaring at Xante and the unknown man.

The private room was dimly lit, and it was so noisy that Xante did not notice Sunny. However, the man beside her did. Instead of
informing Xante of Sunny’s arrival, however, he deliberately moved closer to her.
Sunny instantly recognized him to be the man from that morning. The very same man who hugged and kissed Xante in front of
the Newmoon Group building.
The fact that they were seeing each other and seated so close to each other sent Sunny into a spiral of rage.
However, he recalled what Aaron said to him. ‘Aaron’s right. I shouldn’t do anything rash. I’ll lose Xante to that old fart if I can’t
even control my temper.’
He took another deep breath and drank some water to cool himself. After that, he asked Aaron, “Who’s that disgusting old fart?
Why does Xante seem so interested in him?”
Aaron smiled. “He’s her first love. He just came back from abroad and was hoping to rekindle their relationship.”
“What?!” exploded Sunny. ‘I’ve never seen such a shameless man! What makes him think he can swagger in and rekindle his
relationship with Xante when they broke up ages ago?’
“See all these rose petals, balloons, and fresh flowers? He got them for Xante,” pointed out Aaron ‘nicely’.
Sunny gritted his teeth. “Ugh! How cringe! Xante’s not the type of woman who will ever fall for something like this.”
“Is that so? How come I think she’s exactly the type of woman who’d fall for something like this?” retorted Aaron with a smile.
