"I don't know your past as well as Miss Stella does, nor do I have a clear understanding of what you do every day, so I'd appreciate it if you could ask Edmund to send me an overview. Otherwise, we might be exposed when we perform in front of Grandma the next time. That… would be troublesome."
Lucas' face darkened. "You'll know everything about me if you put in a little effort on caring about me, but you're right. There's no one else here now, so we don't need to put on an act anymore. You stay here. I'll go to the study to go over some documents."
Lucas walked away without even looking back. Melody turned and picked up her script. It was as if she pretended not to hear the sound of him leaving until she was only left with herself in the room and the gradually fading scent of Lucas.
Both of them busied themselves with their own tasks, but only Melody knew that she was zoning out while pretending to read the script. Her mind was a mess, thinking only about Lucas.
'Nothing good ever comes out of marrying somebody out of your league,' thought Melody. It was exactly what she was experiencing at that moment.
She found it somewhat ironic. After all, she was the one who was secretly catching feelings for Lucas. He did not do anything wrong at all.
Not only had he not done anything wrong, but he had helped her a lot by lending her money to get her out of her plight.
'He hadn't done anything wrong. He just... He just doesn't like me…' thought Melody.
Most importantly, the two of them were worlds apart. He came from one of the wealthiest, prominent families in the country, while she was a nobody.
Melody set the script aside and hugged her knees sadly. To Lucas, she was just a hired actress, yet she was fantasizing about whether he might develop feelings for her.
'This isn't right,' Melody admonished herself. It was like waiting for a ship that would never appear at the airport. It was best if she stopped deluding herself with thoughts she should not even have in the first place.

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...
