"Take this glass of milk, Corinne. You can drink it to make the food go down easier." As Anya said this, she pretended to lose her footing. With a sway of her body, the milk in the glass spilled onto Corinne's takeout.
'Oh no! My ramen… I didn't even get a bite before the milk got in…' thought Corinne.
Anya covered her mouth in mock surprise. "Oh no! I'm so sorry, Corinne. I didn't mean to spoil your food…"
Corinne simply stared at the ramen soup which had turned white from the milk.
Francine burst out in a vindictive laughter when she saw how disappointed Corinne looked. Of course, she did not forget to show concern to Anya either. "You don't need to apologize to her, Anya. In fact, you should worry more about yourself. I hope you didn't knock into furniture just then…"
Anya shook her head and said anxiously, "I'm fine, Francine… But I feel so bad for spoiling Corinne's food…"
"Oh, please. It's just a little milk. It's not like she's very particular about her food anyway. I mean, I'm willing to bet a hundred bucks that the milk from our house is a hundred percent cleaner than the takeout food she ordered."
"Don't say that, Francine. In any case, this is all my fault." On the surface, Anya might sound like she was really remorseful about what she did but deep inside, she was actually laughing gleefully.
She turned to Corinne and said, "I hope you're not angry with me, Corinne. I'm really sorry and I'm willing to compensate you for the food. In fact, I'll give you double what you paid for."
"No. That won't be necessary," said Corinne. After that, she picked up the takeout container and without warning, poured all of the content on top of Anya's head.
Corinne could take whatever they dished out to her but not when it came to her takeout! God knows how long she had been craving for some ramen soup… and yet that Anya dared to ruin it by pulling a stunt like that? It was totally unforgivable of her to waste good food like that!
After composing herself, Anya put on her innocent act again. "Corinne, I really didn't mean to spoil your takeout and I even offered to compensate you double of what you paid for… So was it necessary to take revenge on me like this?"
Corinne shrugged. "Miss Anya, I wouldn't really call that revenge since just like you, I didn't mean to pour the ramen soup on you. Plus, I never once blamed you for being so clumsy so why are you blaming me now? Forgive me for saying this, but aren't you being a little double standard right now?"
"I…" Anya was unable to come up with a retort.

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...
