Stella smilingly replied, "Miss Melody isn't just my friend; she's also friends with Lucas! You must've heard some good things about Melody from Lucas, right?"
With a smile, she walked up to Lucas and looked down at him. "Otherwise, Lucas wouldn't be here today, right?"
Stella kept staring at him, hoping to detect some different expressions on his face. However, she saw nothing.
Lucas maintained a stern expression, his gaze fixed on a certain spot. "If you have something to say, say it directly. I don't like people who beat around the bush."
"I didn't mean anything else!" Stella sounded somewhat disappointed. She found another chair and sat down. "I just feel quite useless."
Stella lowered her head, chuckled self-deprecatingly, and said, "Miss Melody is so good at mollifying people. You've only known her for a short time, yet she has managed to get you to secure a role for her."
This time, Lucas' expression changed. He looked at Stella and asked, "You think I helped her get this role?"
"It's okay, Lucas. I know Miss Melody just entered the industry and needs this opportunity. It'll certainly make it easier for her to gain a footing in the industry if you help her. She won't have to run around like I did back then, begging for endorsements."
Stella smiled bitterly, but her eyes looked like they were about to cry.
"I didn't help her. She got this role on her own," Lucas said, his gaze darkening as he thought of Melody. "I was willing to help her, but she didn't want to rely on me."
Stella was somewhat surprised. After a moment of contemplation, she could not bring herself to believe Lucas' words.

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...
