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.

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...
