Melody had not even considered that far ahead herself.
"Thank you, Lucas," said Melody sincerely. In all her years, it was the first time someone had shown so much care and consideration for her.
As they talked, the waiter pushed the door open from the outside and brought in the food.
"Lucas! What a coincidence." Stella entered, following the waiter.
Melody's smile immediately disappeared when she saw her coming in. She had formed a negative impression of her from the moment Stella confronted her in Shaun's office.
Lucas was surprised to see Stella coming in as well.
His visit to the restaurant was impromptu, so no one should have known in advance.
'Why would Stella appear here? Could it really be a coincidence?' he wondered.
"Weren't you just saying there was something to handle at the company? How..." Stella turned her gaze toward Melody with a hint of aggression in her eyes. "How come you're now having lunch with Miss Melody here instead?"
Lucas only said there was something he needed to attend back at work as an excuse to get Stella off his back. He did not expect his lie to be exposed so quickly.
"I was starving," Lucas replied, seemingly not very concerned about her feelings.
It was obvious Stella did not believe him, but since he had spoken, she had no choice but to go along with it.
"Oh, I see! I'm starving too. I was thinking of having a meal here before going back to the set. What a coincidence to bump into each other again. It seems like fate, don't you think? So let's have a meal 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...
