Sherman picked up the remote control and turned off the TV. He was watching the live broadcast of the Golden Feather Awards ceremony and saw Melody win the Best Newcomer Actress award, which made him happy for her.
However, seeing Lucas beside her made him feel a sense of regret and disappointment. Quickly, that regret and disappointment transformed into a restless feeling. He turned off the TV, believing that out of sight, out of mind.
He admitted to himself that he really liked Melody because she perfectly matched his criteria for a partner in terms of both looks and personality. Most importantly, Melody bore a resemblance to the girl he had harbored feelings for many years, Claire Bourne.
Sometimes, thoughts really could become reality.
Sherman had just opened a bottle of red wine, intending to drown his sorrows alone when his assistant's call came through.
After answering the phone, he said in a subdued tone, "Whatever the matter is, let's talk about it tomorrow."
He was about to hang up when his assistant hurriedly said, "Sir, it's about Miss Claire! She's returned to the country!"
Sherman, holding the wine bottle, froze for a moment.
'What?'
…
The next day.
'Does he really think I'm that easy to bully?' thought Rita.
The man, irritated by Rita, frowned and said, "This kind of manners won't do in a performance like this. You should improve it."
Rita was stunned. Did he really say that to her? She even turned her head in shock to make sure there was no one behind her before facing him again.
She pointed at herself and asked in disbelief, "Are you saying I have no manners?"
Sherman looked up. "I don't see anyone else here besides you. I don't know how you got in, but since you've managed to get front-row tickets, you should at least show some respect to Claire by being quiet!"

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...
