Melody walked over, raised the contract in her hand, and said, "Yes. I've already signed the contract, so I'll be going now. Have fun discussing your role in the movie with Mister Shaun."
After that, she turned and smiled at Shaun. "Thank you, Mister Shaun, for giving me the opportunity to star in 'War Song'. I'll do my best."
"What?" Stella was shocked once again, her carefully maintained expression crumbling. "You… You're the new actress Mister Shaun chose?"
Melody smiled and nodded. "Didn't I tell you that I came here looking for a job? Well, this is my job!"
Melody surprisingly felt a sense of satisfaction when she saw how upset Stella was. 'She always makes sarcastic remarks to me, so now it's her turn to have a taste of her own medicine!'
"Well, Mister Shaun, the contract is signed. I have other matters to attend to, so I'll take my leave now. I'll be in touch later."
Melody felt a vindictive pleasure. She raised the contract in her hand and swiftly left.
The three people left behind in the office each harbored their own thoughts. This included Stella, as well as Lucas, who had been present in the office and witnessed everything that transpired.
However, Melody seemed to completely ignore his existence. She acted as if they had no connection, embarrassing him in front of Shaun. Even as she left, she did not spare him a glance. Lucas had no idea what he might have done to upset her.
Stella, standing motionless in place, became even more upset. Losing the role she wanted to a newcomer was already humiliating for her, but she never expected that the newcomer who got the role she desired would be Melody.

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...
