The joy on the young man’s face was evident. He scratched his head shyly and said, “It is you, Corinne! I was
walking past the window when I saw you, so I thought I’d say hi. I haven’t seen you since you graduated…”
‘Oh, it’s him! Chester Mansfield, my university junior.”
Corinne nodded at him politely. “Yeah, it’s been a while. Are you doing some shopping?”
Chester shook his head. “Nope. I just started offering part-time tutoring services, so I came to the schools nearby to
pass out some flyers. I got hungry though, so I came to see if there’s any fast-food restaurant to grab a bite before
I resume.”
Corinne smiled lightly. “Sounds like hard work.”

at both his studies and basketball, and would make his presence known to her whenever he could. He even gave
her a button on her graduation day to remember him by, which she still had no idea what it was for.
Corinne had no intention to ask Chester to join them for lunch, the reason being he was a guy and it was not like
they knew each other well-so what was the point? However, when she saw Francine blushing madly and was
flustered, Corinne remembered something.
‘Oh, that’s right. Francine has a crush on Chester. She even wrote him that love letter… But he turned her down in
the end.’
Corinne grinned mischievously and changed her mind. “Chester, do you want to join us for lunch? It’ll be my treat.”
Chester worshiped Corinne like a goddess, so he was elated and surprised to receive the invitation. “R… Really?”
Corinne smiled and jerked her chin to point to the seat beside Francine. “Yeah, sure. Why don’t you sit over there?”
Chester nodded happily and went over to the empty seat. He was about to sit and greet Francine when he realized
who she was.
“Francine?”
The red-faced Francine looked at him shyly and greeted, “Hi, Chester…”
Corinne smiled. “Wow, so you two know each other?”
Francine nodded shyly. Gone was her usual shrewish behavior and was replaced by a picture-perfect demure lady.
Seeing this, Corinne smiled and thought, ‘So it’s true what they said. A girl will become more ladylike in front of her
crush. After that, she called the waiter over to order more food.
Both Francine and Chester were blushing madly by then. Francine because of Chester and Chester because of
Corinne.

Corinne was the only one who did not let the situation affect her appetite. She kept eating while talking.
“So how’s the work going so far? You must be making a lot of money as a tutor.”
Chester rubbed the back of his head shyly. “I haven’t really gotten anyone to hire me yet, hence the flyers.”

Corinne narrowed her eyes and looked at Francine, who was eating very daintily. Suddenly, an idea popped into her
mind. “How much do you charge for tutoring?”
“I’m still a newbie, so I charge ten dollars an hour.”
“Oh, that’s not expensive at all.”
When Jeremy arrived at the restaurant, he immediately recognized Chester to be the young man who
gave Corinne the second button she was wearing, causing his expression to darken.
