Melody nodded and turned to Lucas, politely greeting him, "Hello, Mister Lucas. Nice to meet you."
'Well, it seems she genuinely intends to act as if she doesn't know me at all,' thought Lucas with a resigned sigh.
"Hello, Miss Melody."
'Since she doesn't want to reveal our relationship in public, I'll play along with her to see how long she can keep it up,' thought Lucas. After all, Shaun already knew Melody was his wife, and he promised to take good care of her on the set, so he already achieved his purpose in making the trip.
"Hope you don't mind me calling you just Melody from now on. It's easier that way," Shaun said, leading Melody to the contract laid out on the table and asking her to sit. "I personally oversaw this contract, so you can rest assured that all the promises made to you are written here in black and white.
Melody could tell that Shaun truly wanted her to play the female lead in 'War Song'. The contract was very detailed, incorporating all the verbal promises Shaun made to her earlier into its clauses. With the terms written into the contract, it also gained legal effectiveness.
"Umm… Is it a breach of contract if my performance doesn't meet your expectations?" Melody was there to make money through acting, and she was worried that she would end up losing money.
Shaun flipped to the second-to-last page of the contract. "It's written here. It won't be considered a breach of contract on your part."
"Okay, then. I'll sign the contract." Melody picked up the pen, but her gaze unconsciously turned to Lucas. She never signed a contract, but Lucas had.
Noticing her glance, Lucas understood that she was asking if it was okay for her to sign. He nodded in approval.
With Lucas' consent, Melody smiled and signed her name on the contract.

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...
