After today's performance, Lucas seemed to see a different side of Melody. She used Wendy's desire to act to teach her a lesson in a process. Not to mention, she got leverage out of the whole thing as well. Melody was certainly more cunning than he gave her credit for.
"Me? Become an actress?" Melody found Lucas' question somewhat perplexing. She walked over, plugged the USB drive into the computer, and began copying the necessary surveillance videos. "Why would I? I'm not like Wendy, who dreams of becoming a famous actress and living the life of a big star. I don't want my every move to be excessively scrutinized by people."
Lucas chuckled softly. "Is that so? But I think you're more talented at acting than your sister. You'll have a bright future if you become an actress."
Melody realized that Lucas was teasing her. She thought about the scene she had just played with Wendy and felt somewhat flustered.
"If you're just going to sit here and mock me about this, I suggest you leave, Lucas."
"I'm not mocking you. You are a very good actress."
Melody rarely saw Lucas' smile, but she had to admit that he was indeed even more handsome when he was smiling.
'Well, if mocking me brings him, then I don't mind it at all. It's not like I'll lose anything if he mocks me,' thought Melody.
She shrugged it off and turned her attention to the progress bar on the computer. Neither of them spoke, and the control room became quiet.
Lucas gazed intensely at Melody's back.

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...
