The news of getting hired left Melody pleasantly surprised. However, Sherman's decision to entrust her with such a significant position caught her completely off-guard.
Even Melody was not entirely confident in her own abilities. After all, she had been stuck in the Sanders' residence for so long, and this left her somewhat out of touch with certain professional aspects.
"I've known you since high school, so I know your personality and capability very well. That's why I'm giving you this role because I believe you can handle it!" Sherman stated with a reassuring conviction. It felt like genuine trust rather than just words of encouragement.
Melody found herself growing a bit nervous under Sherman's appreciative gaze.
The immense trust placed in her made her doubt herself. "Sherman, I thank you for believing in me. If you're willing to hire me, just give me a simple role. I'd be more than happy if you do that. I've never worked before, and there's a lot I don't know. I'm afraid that if I take on the role of Advertising Director, I might mess up and disappoint you."
"Melody, I've seen you handle Wendy with confidence. Why doubt yourself now? Please have more faith in your abilities. You're truly outstanding!" Sherman encouraged her.
Melody's jaw dropped in surprise. "Sherman, you... You saw that?"
Sherman smiled. "Yeah, I saw it all."
Melody felt extremely embarrassed and lowered her head slowly. "Sherman, she was the one who started spreading lies about me. I was just angry at the time, so I couldn't hold back... I'm sorry for causing trouble for your company."
Sherman chuckled softly. "It's okay, you didn't cause me any trouble! Actually, I see it as a positive. You helped us filter out a spokesperson with questionable character."
Melody had expected a scolding, yet she was met with unexpected praise. She looked up and blinked in surprise. "But I messed up the company's shoot and injured the celebrity you hired. Why are you praising me?"
"You did nothing wrong. When someone slanders and bullies you, it's only right to fight back bravely," Sherman assured her. He had investigated the whole situation thoroughly and learned the details from the employees.

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...
