"Okay, drive slowly, and don't rush. I'll wait for you in the restaurant even if everyone else has left," said Melody.
Melody had two drinks with Shaun as she was exhilarated from the roadshow. After she had calmed down a little bit, she began to control her alcohol intake.
However, she had overestimated her tolerance. Those two drinks were already too much for her. Even though she only sipped a bit afterward, her face still became flushed while her eyes became watery.
Paige immediately noticed her condition and replaced her drink with a non-alcoholic one. She also instructed the kitchen to prepare a bowl of hangover soup for her.
Shaun came over, looking a bit worried about Melody's condition. "Are you okay?"
Of course, he was asking if it would be okay if Lucas saw her like that.
Paige frowned. "I wonder if she'll have a headache tomorrow. It'll be bad if she does."
Shaun slapped his forehead in frustration. "I told her not to have the second drink, but she insisted on coming over to have that second drink with me. Well, great. I bet she's feeling quite nauseous right now. Serves her right for trying to show off."
Holding her flushed face, Melody lifted her head. "Mister Shaun, what do you mean, showing off? Don't I even get to have a say in how much I want to drink?"
"Why would Lucas ask us to keep an eye on you and stop you from drinking more if you can handle your alcohol? It's because you can't handle it!"
Melody was getting heated up. She pouted and said, "Who says I can't handle it? You all are afraid of Lucas, but I'm not! If I say I can handle it, then I can. Even if he's right in front of me right now, I'll still say the same."
As soon as she finished speaking, the whole place fell silent. Shaun looked behind her with a suppressed smile.
Shaun waved repeatedly. "Don't drag me into your argument. I've told Melody not to drink so much, but she insisted on having two drinks with me. I'm not the kind of director who encourages others to drink. I've always cared about my actors!"
"Ugh. Mister Shaun, where did that authoritative demeanor you have on set go? How could you succumb to Lucas' authority? Why are you so afraid of him? I overestimated you," Melody said angrily.
Shaun and the others just shook their heads in amusement. Melody was completely drunk.
Paige chuckled. "You better take Melody home quickly. If you keep her here, who knows what she might blurt out again."
Lucas nodded. "Thank you all. I'll cover the bill tonight."
With that, he helped Melody to her feet, ready to take her home.

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...
