The Day I Kissed An Older Man novel Chapter 2002

Sherman frowned, sensing that Melody's attitude toward her mother was not too favorable. "She said she couldn't reach you by phone, and knowing that we're acquainted, she came here. Do you want to come over now?"

Melody refused to believe that Helen did not have some ulterior motive for appearing in Parr Group of all times. However, she also knew that Helen would not leave willingly—which would cause more trouble for Sherman—if she did not go over there to take her away.

Helpless, Melody ultimately decided to go over. "Wait for me. I'll be right there."

She then hung up and hurriedly left for Parr Group.

Melody's face darkened upon entering Sherman's office and seeing Helen calmly drinking tea. She firmly pulled Helen up from her seat, saying, "Get up. I'm taking you home."

"Melody!" Helen shook off her hand, reluctant to leave. "What are you doing? I've come all this way. Why are you in such a hurry to leave?"

Melody could not comprehend why her mother came here in the first place. "What are you doing here? This is someone else's company, not your home. Hurry up and come with me."

Helen put on a loving expression and took her hand. "Melody, I wouldn't have known you're so close with President Sherman if I hadn't come here. Make sure you get along well with him, okay?"

Melody was stunned for a moment. She turned to look at Sherman, who was standing beside her, and knew that Helen had misunderstood the relationship between her and Sherman.

Melody looked at her mother with disappointment and sarcasm. Her mother was trying to be friendly with Sherman just because he was the president of Parr Group!

Helen would probably have scorned Sherman outright and criticized Melody for her lack of ambition if Sherman was a broke man without two pennies to rub together.

"Melody, what are you thinking? He's the president of such a big company. Some other woman might steal him away if you don't nab him now!"

"Do you think I have anything to do with him?" Melody smirked in disdain. "He's just my senior back in college. That's all there's to it!"

"Do you think I'm blind? Clearly, he's interested in you. Melody, I advise you not to miss out on such a good man. Opportunities like this don't come often!"

"I'm telling you now that I don't have the kind of relationship you're imagining with him, and there won't be anything in the future either. As for your idea of using him to find resources for Wendy, forget it. I won't do it!"

Melody had no idea how Helen came to the conclusion that there was something going on between her and Sherman, and she did not care to explain. After all, it would not make a difference even if she explained it to her. She explicitly told Helen that there would not be any relationship with Sherman and hoped she would not bother the both of them anymore.
