"Melody, listen to me. Put all your focus on acting now. Nothing else is worth wasting your energy on. You'll have more confidence in other aspects of your life once you succeed in your career," said Shaun.
However, the producer could not help but contradict Shaun's words. "It's okay. Going through some hardships will make it easier for you to portray some of your characters. Acting skills are crucial, but even more important is the ability to feel—to experience everything happening in your life and in the lives of others. Your acting career will go smoother once you have a niche you're good in."
Melody forced a smile, making her look even more pitiful. "I understand. Thank you, both of you."

Meanwhile, in Stella's dressing room trailer.
"Lucas, aren't you busy at work? How come you have time to come to the film set?"
Stella had a perfectly timed smile on her face as she sat beside Lucas. She automatically assumed that Lucas had come here to see her.
"I'm not here to visit you. I have other matters. In fact, I'll be on my way if you have nothing important to tell me."
A hint of embarrassment flashed across Stella's face. "Lucas, you rarely come to the film set. Why are you leaving in such a hurry?"
She thought for a moment and added, "Don't you want to see Melody act? She's quite popular online now, and everyone really likes her. Even the guys in my crew secretly admire her!"
'No wonder she was so indifferent to me. Turns out she had numerous admirers,' thought Lucas.
"It's just acting. I've seen her do it before," responded Lucas in a low voice.
"Melody is your wife. Aren't you curious about the character she's playing? Besides, if you don't take this opportunity to assert your dominance, another young man will steal Melody!" Stella spoke dramatically as if fearing that Lucas would not believe her.

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...
