Others quickly made way for Lucas. As he approached Melody, the whispers started again.
"Tsk! Melody must've used a love potion on Mister Lucas. Otherwise, why would he choose her when he could be with Miss Stella?"
"Hush. We lowly workers will never understand the minds of the rich. I distinctly remember hearing that Mister Lucas and Miss Stella grew up together, so they must've been childhood sweethearts. How did Melody suddenly become part of the picture? Tsk, tsk! I shudder to think what underhanded tactics she used to become Mister Lucas' wife."
Melody was already not well-liked by the others, and Lucas' frequent visits on her behalf only added a tinge of jealousy among the group.
"Mister Lucas must be here to help Melody again, right? She'll probably be let off the hook with nothing but a slap on the wrist."
Everyone assumed Lucas was there to help smooth things over for Melody.
"What are you..."
Before Melody could finish her sentence, Lucas walked away, stopping in front of Stella.
"What's wrong? Why are you crying?" Lucas asked her in a deep voice.
Stella lifted her head in pleasant surprise. She had not expected Lucas to come looking for her.
That incident happened because of his own carelessness, resulting in a wasted scene. Despite the two of them having worked for many years together, Shaun—known for his seriousness in filmmaking—did not hesitate to give him an earful when things went wrong. Yet, the person thought it was Melody's fault.
Melody knew deep down that since that day, the filmmaker had been holding a grudge, wanting to take revenge on her. However, when it came to acting, she believed there was nothing this person could use against her, especially since she did not feel responsible for that previous mistake.
Unexpectedly, he finally found an opportunity to vent his frustration on her.
Stella hung her head, looking even more aggrieved but unwilling to speak it out so that she would look more pitiful.
Melody felt a bitterness in her heart, like someone had spilled lemon juice on her chest. Alas, she did not have the right to question anything.

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...
