Mabel was aware of how Melody's mother abused her trust many times. Back at college, Mabel had tried to help Melody several times, but it was all for naught.
"Everything's fine. I've moved out from home. Sorry to say, but that's why I asked you out today. I was wondering if you could do me a favor…" said Melody embarrassedly.
Melody did not really have any freedom when she was staying with the Sanders, so she seldom contacted Mabel. However, when she needed help, the only person she could think of was this friend whom she rarely kept in touch with. As ashamed and awkward as she felt, she knew she had no choice.
"Nothing to be sorry about! What do you have in mind? I'll help if I can!" Mabel looped her arm with Melody and led her into the restaurant.
After they were seated in the restaurant, Melody passed the menu to Mabel and said, "Order whatever you like, Mabel. This meal is on me."
Mabel thus ordered a few dishes that she wanted. "So, what is it that you want me to do for you, Melody?"
Melody bit her lip lightly and said hesitantly, "Umm… I was wondering if you have any jobs for me. I need money now, so I really could use a job…"
"A job, huh?" Mabel pondered for a while, then thought of something. "As a matter of fact, I do have a job for you! One of the companies my company is collaborating with is hiring. It's an advertising agency. I think you can apply for it since your educational background fits their requirements."
Melody's eyes lit up. "Really? Do you really think so?"
"Of course! You're very talented, Melody. You should be more confident about yourself!" Mabel took out her phone and sent a picture to Melody. "There, I've just sent you the hiring details. Send your resume to them, and I'll give the person in charge a call. If they find you suitable, they'll contact you for sure!"
Melody glanced through the hiring details. Not only did she fulfill all their requirements, but the job also did not require any working experience. It seemed very promising indeed!

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...
