After much internal struggle, Melody weighed her options and reluctantly decided to let go of this opportunity. After all, she had a prior commitment with Lucas, so she could not ignore his warning just for the sake of a job.
"I'm sorry, Sherman. I appreciate your offer, but I don't think I can handle this job. Thank you, though," said Melody.
Sherman was somewhat surprised by Melody's decision. The job came with an excellent salary, and it would be challenging for her to come across such a great opportunity again. Moreover, Sherman could sense that Melody truly needed a job. Thus, he could not understand why she refused this golden opportunity.
"Can I ask why?" Sherman was not ready to give up yet.
Just as Melody was about to come up with a believable excuse, her phone rang.
She glanced down at the caller ID and found that it was Lucas calling.
After a quick apology, she got up and walked a little farther away to answer the phone. "Hello?"
"Are you at Parr Group?" asked Lucas gruffly.
'Sherman has taken over Parr Group. Why is Melody going to him now?' Lucas wondered.
After finishing a meeting, Lucas noticed Melody's message and promptly returned her call.
He genuinely felt that Melody was not as submissive and obedient as she looked. She was not only dishonest but also a troublemaker.
"Yes, I came here for a job interview," Melody replied.

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...
