Wendy scoffed when she thought about the schemes that lay beneath Melody's show of confidence. Securing a mysterious financial backer was beyond despicable.
Stella cleared her throat and said, "Melody's rise to stardom seems inevitable with that backing. She might even eclipse seasoned actresses like us one day."
Wendy did not hide her complex mix of envy and indignation.
Stella continued to press further. "Do you have Melody's contact information? Didn't she think of sharing her newfound fortune with you during her rise to prominence? A few crumbs from her powerful backer won't hurt the wallet."
"I wouldn't touch such filth!" Wendy spat before immediately composing herself. "I'm sorry, Miss Stella. That wasn't meant for you. My past with Melody makes me stir up some uncomfortable emotions. I hope I didn't frighten you."
Stella masked her agenda with an understanding expression. "No offense taken. You shouldn't sever your familial ties that easily, though. If you have her contact number, I hope you can help me reach out to her."
Wendy was caught off guard and stared at Stella in confusion. "Reach out?"

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...
