"Thanks for your kind words, but I still don't know what kind of job you're still planning to pursue." Stella's eyes held a hint of disdain. In her view, Melody—who had to find a job to support herself—posed no threat to her.
Melody lowered her head, feeling a bit uneasy. "I...haven't really decided. I just want to find something that suits me."
"Oh, I see." Stella walked a few steps thoughtfully, then stopped in front of Melody. "How about this? Since Mister Shaun and I are old acquaintances, I can put in some good words for you and ask him to arrange a job for you when I see him later.
For some reason, even though Stella was offering her help with a smile, Melody could not help but find her intimidating. She had a feeling that Stella was not as benign and simple as she appeared on the surface. She felt that Stella's thoughts were not something she could easily fathom.
"How about a clerical job?" offered Stella after pondering for a while. "It's an easy job, and the pay isn't bad. I'll talk to Mister Shaun about it later."
It was only then Melody realized that Stella was oblivious to others' feelings, persistently trying to convey what she considered goodwill regardless of others' wishes.
However, Melody did not need her goodwill, and she even found it rather annoying.
"That won't be necessary, Miss Stella. Really. I can find a job on my own."
Stella's expression soured at being turned down the second time. Despite her good intentions in helping Melody find a job and considering whether the work would be easy, Melody remained unappreciative.
Both of them fell into a moment of silence when a woman emerged from the director's office, smiling as she approached them. "Miss Melody, Mister Shaun is waiting for you inside."

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...
