"Alright, stop wasting time with her. It makes things easier for us since Melody said it's enough." BD tilted his head toward Melody. "Melody, have you figured out which card you want to use to pay us?"
The moment had finally arrived, and Melody, pretending to be calm, had the blonde hand over her phone.
"I haven't used up my pay, but I forgot which card has money in it. I need to check first..."
The blonde, upon hearing this, could not help but marvel in admiration. 'So this is what the life of a wealthy person is like! They have so much money that they couldn't even keep track of which of their cards have how much money inside!'
"Don't worry, we still have time to swipe through them one by one. As long as we swipe enough to cover the remaining two million dollars, I guarantee you can walk out of this abandoned building unscathed today," BD said with a smile, but a hint of darkness lingered in his eyes. "However, we'll have to find another way if you can't come up with the two million dollars."
This was clearly a test for Melody. She forced herself to remain calm and said with a faint smile, "You don't have to worry about that. I was the one who suggested hiring you, and I wouldn't have done that if I didn't have the money."
BD and Melody locked eyes, but neither of them looked away.
Melody knew that if she looked away first, it would mean conceding to the fact that she had no money. She had to keep up the pretense. This was a life and death moment for her, after all.
BD was the first to look away. "Very well, as long as you have the money. Hey, blondie!"
The blonde approached with a phone in hand, opened Melody's payment app, and asked her to choose a card.
"The one at the bottom is my boyfriend's. Let's try that one. It's the supplementary card for the Centurion Card, you know," said Melody with a sly smile.

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...
