Denny rolled his eyes dramatically. He would have ignored Karen and Sadie if it were not for Lisa patting his hand.
"Now that's settled, how about I ask my personal stylist to give you two a complete makeover once my hair is done? That is, if you two still want it. I'll cover all the expenses, of course," said Lisa.
Lisa remained smiling throughout. Karen naturally could not contain her joy, although she had to decline a few times out of so-called politeness.
"You're too kind, Lisa. But we couldn't possibly accept your offer. It was just a misunderstanding to begin with, so how can we let you foot the bill?"
Karen reached out her hand, attempting to link arms with Lisa, but she gracefully evaded it. "It's nothing. You two just enjoy yourselves."
After Karen and Sadie were led away by the stylists, Lisa mildly scolded Denny, "Look at the mess you've caused. Were you really going to fight with her till the end if I hadn't stepped in?"
"Thank you, Miss Lisa. But why should I be afraid of them when I have you protecting me?" asked Denny with a smile.
In fact, even if Lisa had not been there, Denny still would not be afraid of Karen and Sadie. It was not like he did not have connections in the world of the upper echelon. He was confident that no matter what, he would come out alright.
Moreover, he himself came from a wealthy family. Otherwise, his journey of single-handedly establishing his makeup studio would not have gone so smoothly.
Lisa's gaze then fell on Rita, who was standing beside Denny. "Rita, do you still remember me?"
Rita smiled genuinely and said, "I may forget everyone else, but I could never forget you, Miss Lisa."
"Hmph, do you think I'm afraid of them?" They both sat down in Rita's exclusive makeup room, where Rita relaxed as if she were at home. Rita's makeup was always done by Denny himself, a privilege only she enjoyed.
"The only reason you'd say that it's because you haven't dealt with them before," said Rita.
Rita allowed him to work on her face, trusting that he could bring out her beauty even more.
"Are you saying that because they've already made things difficult for you before?" Denny paused in his movements and looked at Rita with tenderness in his eyes. "In all the years we've known each other, you've never once told me about your family's situation. Even though Miss Lisa offered to help, I bet you'd never take it, right?"
Rita bit her lip. Just as Denny said, she had never sought help from others. Even her father did not believe what Karen had done to her, so what more to say about others?

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...
