"Me? Out of my mind? Did you have to react so dramatically to me? Why didn't you react that way with that other guy?" Lucas narrowed his eyes threateningly.
"What did you think Nathan and I were doing in my lounge?" Melody gestured to herself with a perplexed expression. Lucas offered no response, yet his silence spoke volumes.
"What do you take me for, Lucas? Just because you don't respect me doesn't mean you can assume that others won't either!" Irritated, she took two steps back and distanced herself from him.
The lounge door was wide open when he entered. If she had harbored ulterior motives, she would have been an idiot to leave the door open like that. They had merely signed a contract, and he had no right to attack another man as if he was her boyfriend—which he clearly was not.
"What does this have to do with respect? Do you think it's appropriate for you to be so close to that man?" Lucas asked coldly.
His arrogant, condescending gaze only fueled Melody's anger. "That has nothing to do with you at all! I'm working! Need I remind you that there was never a condition in the contract that allows us to interfere in another person's private life?" Melody retorted angrily. Lucas had hurt her many times, and she wanted to make everything very clear.
"What do you mean? Do you want to renegotiate the contract?" Lucas sneered, but his pained expression contradicted the sneer.
"I'm only reiterating the terms. You set those conditions yourself, didn't you? Weren't you concerned that I might develop feelings and use them against you when you inserted that clause in the contract?"
"That's not a valid reason for you to string other men along!" Lucas held Melody's shoulders and tried to figure out what was going on in her mind. "I've already given you enough time. Haven't you realized anything yet?"
Melody shook her head and declared angrily, "I have! I've got it all figured out a long time ago! I want nothing to do with you, and I won't have anything to do with you!"
"Why?" Lucas' eyes widened in disbelief. "But you're clearly…"

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...
