"I said…" Corinne's gaze turned murderous as she grinned maliciously. "I want you dead!" She then reached out her hand.
Phoebe, thinking Corinne wanted to choke her, backed away in fright and nearly fell. Luckily, she was caught before she fell.
"Are you okay, ma'am?" Corinne asked with concern after supporting her from falling.
Phoebe finally came back to her senses. She looked at Corinne in confusion and noticed that the girl was smiling cordially instead of looking malevolent.
'This is so odd!' Phoebe felt as though the brief episode was just an illusion, and she was gasping due to the fright. "What were you going to do to me?"
Corinne giggled before saying, "I'm sorry, ma'am. I was so happy that you wanted to raise my salary tenfold that I couldn't resist playing a joke on you!"
The flippant demeanor from Corinne left Phoebe unnerved. After regaining her composure, she pushed Corinne away and adjusted her clothes. Finally, she lashed out unhappily, "I hope you won't imprint your sense of humor when you're tutoring my son, Miss Carew!"
Corinne shook her finger in disapproval. "You might not understand this, ma'am, but there has to be some form of entertainment in education to pique a student's thirst for knowledge!"
Phoebe frowned in confusion over Corinne's methods and said annoyedly, "Fine. I don't care how your teaching methods are, as long as you can show the results."
Corinne nodded and assured her, "I understand. I will fulfill your expectations and improve your son's academic performance!"

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...
