As she watched the men leave, Melody curled up in the corner of the bed. She silently hugged her legs, not conversing with the thug with the buzzcut. She prayed that Lucas would save her, though she was unsure whether he would.
When they brought the person who hired them, she would have to transfer money to them. However, the limit on the card Lucas gave her had been used up. She was afraid that if Lucas did not arrive in time, they would…
Melody held back her tears; she knew it was not the right time to cry.
'But…still…'
Melody recalled the previous night at home when she and Lucas each occupied a desk, tending to their own matters. Even though they did not talk much and Lucas already held someone else dear to his heart, just sitting in the same room with him quietly made her happy enough.
Such a comforting warmth sharply contrasted with the cold, unfinished building she was in at that moment. She wanted to leave this place so badly. She wanted to go back home and have a good night's sleep.
Having just strained her brain dealing with those thugs, she merely bought herself some time. She could not truly relax, so she leaned weakly against the wall. A damp and cold smell wafted from the mottled wall, causing Melody to involuntarily frown.
Out of the corner of her eye, she spotted the thug playing with a small knife, as if silently warning her not to think about escaping.
Meanwhile…
BD sent a message to Wendy, instructing her to come downstairs.
[You've finished the job?]
Wendy found it a bit strange as it could not be over so quickly.
The blonde dragged Wendy into the car.
Once they were out of the city, the blonde said excitedly, "Boss, your idea was really brilliant. The moment Wendy heard that Melody had been caught, she couldn't sit still! I can't help but wonder what happened between the two of them to make Wendy hate Melody so much!"
BD drove steadily. "It's always those few things. Either it's for reputation or money. Women might even hold grudges against each other because they like the same guy. Just like how men would fight over women."
"Well, I guess that's why they say, 'hell hath no fury like a woman scorned'," said the blonde.
BD glared at him, reminding him to sit properly. "We just need to fulfill Melody's demands and wait for her to transfer the money. Don't waste your time thinking about what happened between them. Just keep an eye on her, and make sure she doesn't wake up and scream."
"Hehe, you got it, boss! It's the first time I've seen so much money, so I got a bit excited. Let's go abroad after this job is done, boss! Nobody knows us there, and we can start fresh. Maybe even open up a business!"

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...
