"Wendy? Well…" William sighed with a hint of regret. "She's got potential, good looks, and knows how to carry herself. Unfortunately, she's got a bit of bad luck."
Melody suppressed her discomfort and patiently waited for him to finish before responding, "Acting has always been Wendy's dream. She's put in a lot of effort, and I'm confident that given the right opportunity, she can truly shine as an actress."
Since she was here to smooth things over for Wendy, Melody decided to sprinkle in some positive words, even if she did stretch the truth a bit. As long as she just settled this matter, her family would not bother her anymore.
At least, that was what she thought.
William got up and approached her with a glass in his hand.
"There are plenty of talented and hardworking people in this industry, but the opportunities are scarce. It's all about who can grab those chances."
He placed a glass of wine in front of Melody and stood beside her, quietly watching her.
Melody understood that William wanted her to down that glass of wine to smooth things over for Wendy and possibly secure some opportunity.
Regret washed over her. Even if it meant breaking free from her family, she wished she had not found herself in this situation. After all, these problems were Wendy's, and Melody should not have to endure this kind of humiliation.
She glanced at her phone, but there were still no messages from her family. Maybe this was their plan all along.
"Will everything be settled if I drink this glass of wine?" asked Melody.
William smiled mysteriously and nodded. "Yes. Once you've finished that glass, I'll consider giving Wendy another chance."
"Alright."
Melody rose from her seat, took her glass and the bottle, and poured herself another drink. "Here's to you, Mister William. Please give Wendy more chances in the future."
She then downed the entire content in one go. After that, she placed the wine glass back on the table.

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...
