"Ma'am, please stop trying to escape. Mister Cedric and Mister Maxwell will have our heads if we fail to take you to the summer villa again," said the servant.
Phoebe pushed him away hysterically. "Move out of the way! Who do you think you all are? You have no right to tell me what to do!"
The servants had been tricked once, so this time, they decided to use force to carry out their orders. Two of them restrained Phoebe while the rest packed up her stuff.
Since Phoebe had only stayed in the building for less than a day, there was not much stuff to pack. The servants collected the bits and pieces lying around the apartment in preparation to leave.
Before they left, the lead servant heard the sound of crying coming from the bedroom, so he had his subordinate check on it.
"It's Mister Joey. He seems to be hurt 'cause he's curled up on the floor crying."
The lead servant walked into the room. Joey was indeed curled up on the floor, trembling and crying. He was really quite pitiful to look at.
Phoebe suddenly thought of something. "Oh, no! He must've fallen," she said, pretending to be worried. "Is he hurt? We have to take him to the hospital if he is!"
Alarm bells went off inside the lead servant's head. After all, Phoebe and Anya had used the same trick to escape from them.
The lead servant squatted to check on Joey's condition. To his chagrin, Joey was really hurt this time.

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...
