The Day I Kissed An Older Man novel Chapter 1979

Just as Melody shut down her laptop, she received a call from Sherman. She hesitated for a moment before answering the call.

Yes, Melody promised Lucas not to have too much contact with him, but it should be fine for her to talk to an old friend over the phone… No?

"Hello, Sherman."

"Melody, are you busy?"

"Not really. What's up? Why are you calling?"

"Melody, I was wondering if you've reconsidered joining our company?" Sherman had not given up on recruiting her. "Although Parr Group may not be one of the top companies, the overall benefits are good. Won't you give it another thought?"

The role of Advertising Director at Parr Group was indeed a sought-after position. However, Melody promised Lucas not to have too much contact with Sherman, so she could not go back on her word.

"Sherman, I really can't work at Parr Group. Thank you for your offer, but I'm sorry," replied Melody.

There was a moment of silence on Sherman's end, and he sighed. "Alright, then. Though, Wendy can't come to shoot because you've injured her face, and we can't find a suitable replacement on such short notice. The firm will have to pay a hefty penalty if we can't finish the advertisement by the time stipulated in the contract."

"What?!" Melody felt a pang of guilt at the realization of causing such heavy damage. Sherman had always been very considerate and helpful to her, so she did not want to be a source of trouble for him.

"Sherman, I'm sorry... Is there anything I can do to make amends?" Melody asked.

"No, Sherman! I... I was just joking!" Melody, realizing her misunderstanding, felt embarrassed and quickly found an excuse to cover her awkwardness.

Sherman stopped laughing. "Melody, what I meant is that my company needs a suitable actress for the advertisement. Since Wendy is out for the count, and you two share some resemblance being sisters, how about you step in for the shooting?"

"Me, in a commercial shooting?" Melody frowned doubtfully. "But I've never done shooting before, and I don't have much fame. I don't think I'm the right person for the role."

"Melody, you can do it. If you don't help me now, my company will really incur significant losses!"

'I'll definitely have some contact with Sherman if I go to Parr Group for the shooting. Lucas is gonna blow his top if he finds out,' thought Melody.
