"Sir, are you trying to protect her? She's obviously trying to defend herself because she was the culprit!"
"Yeah! She can't be that stupid not to hide her face while committing the act."
No one had expected Shaun to just brush it off like that when the proof was in the surveillance video. Based on their reaction, they would not rest until they saw Melody punished.
"What's all the ruckus? Has today's filming ended?" came a man's voice.
The familiar voice drew Melody's attention, and she turned to see Lucas approaching them. He walked with a leisurely gait, and everyone around him seemed to make way for him without being asked.
Melody wanted to pretend that nothing happened, but she felt a bitter taste in her mouth when Lucas came over and asked, "What happened?"
"Nothing," she said hoarsely, shaking her head. Those who seemed to want her punished ceased their efforts and were well aware of Lucas' identity. None of them wanted to get on Lucas' bad side after seeing how close he was to Melody.
"You wouldn't have kept me waiting that long if nothing happened. Did you forget that we were supposed to have lunch with my grandparents today?" Lucas said.
Melody glanced at him and did not quite remember when they made that arrangement. However, Lucas' firm gaze led her to believe that she must have forgotten all about it. "I'm sorry I forgot about it. I was out the whole morning, and something did happen when I returned to the set."
In the meantime, Melody's attention was focused on the phrase 'my woman'. She wondered what Lucas meant by that and unconsciously raised her head to look at his face. It was a mystery how he had a knack for frequently showing up whenever she needed help. Perhaps that was god's way of looking out for her.
"There was a bit of friction between the cast members. Tracy, who plays the second female lead, was injured by a thumbtack that was placed in the shoe that she is supposed to wear for her role. We checked the surveillance footage and discovered that the perpetrator was wearing the same clothes as Melody."
"Is that why you think Melody did it?" Lucas summed up the information he had been told about.
Shaun could immediately tell that Lucas was incensed.

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...
