"You're a stranger. A nobody. Know your place, and stop being nosy," Lucas added.
He then turned to the instructor and said, "When did a student like her enroll in this dance studio? She and anyone else who can't get along with Melody should just be expelled. I've already acquired this place anyway, and I'd hate for this place to receive fees from people like her."
The instructor nodded. There was no reason whatsoever to tolerate someone whose focus was on other things rather than dancing. Moving forward, they needed to scrutinize each prospective student more carefully.
Whispers circulated among the students as they were unaware of when ownership of the dance studio had quietly changed hands. Even more shocking was the revelation that they had just been unknowingly criticizing the owner's wife.
"You want her to expel me?" Carmen exclaimed with a panic-stricken voice. "Just because I don't like Melody doesn't mean you can expel me! You have no grounds other than your selfish reasons! You don't have the right to do that! I've paid my fees, and I'm a student here!"
Lucas snorted coldly, "I am the owner, so it's my right to manage the place as I see fit. Your fees will be refunded in full, so technically, you've been attending classes here for free the entire time. It's quite clear then that you have gotten the better end of the deal here, so the least you can do is to stop causing trouble here."
Lucas' penetrating gaze seemed to silence Carmen, bringing her protests to an abrupt halt. "You can't do that..." Carmen whimpered.
"Why not?" Lucas retorted. "Melody is my wife. Perhaps you'll be able to retain your status as a student if you apologize to her."

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...
