Lucas slammed the jade chopsticks he was holding onto the table, startling Melody.
"Sorry. How clumsy of me." He wiped the corner of his lips elegantly and said, "It's probably best not to give Melody coffee in the future. She's an actress now, and the director insists that she maintains her figure during the shoot. Right, Melody?"
He turned to Melody, clearly indicating that she should agree with him.
'I've barely exchanged a few sentences with Sherman, and Lucas is already inserting himself into our conversation? What about when he was reminiscing about the past with Stella? Did he think about how awkward it'd be for me then? Ugh. Forget it. It's my own fault for owing him money,' thought Melody.
Melody shrugged. "Lucas has a point. It's fine if I indulge once in a blue moon, but Shaun will give me an earful if I drink it every day."
Sherman nodded with a disapproving frown. He was obviously not in agreement with what Lucas said.
"But you're already quite slim, Melody. Gaining a little weight would make you even more attractive."
Melody blushed and smiled shyly at the compliment.
At that moment, the freshwater eel rice Melody ordered finally arrived, accompanied by a combination of fresh sushi that looked quite expensive.
However, Melody had barely taken a few bites when she received a call from the film crew.
"Miss Melody, where are you right now?"
"Jeff? Did something happen on the set? I'm having lunch at the Japanese restaurant next to the film studio."
Melody set her spoon down, ready to head back. The film crew would not call her during break time unless there was an emergency on the set.
"Oh, thank goodness you haven't gone far. Mister Shaun has been looking for you. There are a few scenes that need to be reshot. It'd be fine if it were the later scenes, but these particular shots need to be edited into the behind-the-scenes footage today, so that's why I'm in such a rush to reach you. You know how Mister Shaun strives for perfection in every shot. Otherwise, I wouldn't have bothered you. Can you please return to the set now if you've finished your meal?"

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...
