Tracy never expected to be caught on such a calm evening when everything seemed perfect. Everything was going smoothly, and she even managed to deal with Roland, only to find herself bound alongside him.
Even then, she still had not fully grasped the situation.
"Huh! Bet you never thought you would've gotten caught, huh?" mocked Roland.
Tracy turned to glare at him resentfully. "Was it you? Did you tell them what I did? You despicable man!"
It was only then that she noticed Roland was in the dressing room as well. After all, she had been trying to seduce Lucas, completely overlooking the existence of the painfully ordinary Roland.
Roland especially noticed the shy expression on Tracy's face as she looked at Lucas. That was the way a woman should appear in front of someone she was attracted to.
Unfortunately, Roland had never seen this side of her. She would have completely overlooked his presence if he had not spoken up. It was a painful realization for him.
His unrequited love, which came to an abrupt end, made him lose himself and ruin his future.
"What does it matter if it was me? Whether I admit it or not, you've already made up your mind that it was me who did it."
Roland, being the person who knew Tracy the best, was right. Even before he gave an answer, she had already made up her mind.
Even if he had not voluntarily revealed her involvement, what difference would it make? The outcome would be the same. He felt like a failure for not even having the ability to deal with a woman properly.
It would be a lie to say Tracy had never been attracted to Roland in all the years she knew him. Before signing with the company, she worked on numerous production teams, only to end up with supporting roles.
She accepted them all because she was confident that even with just one shot, she could captivate the audience. However, who would have thought that her prominence in that one shot would lead to her being targeted by the leading actress in the industry?
After being humiliated, she vowed to make a name for herself and return all the humiliation she had received. At that time, Roland was by her side. Even though he had no power or influence, he still secretly beat up the assistant of the leading actress who had insulted her. However, that act brought on even more intense retaliation.
Roland did everything for Tracy's sake. Since that day, Tracy no longer tolerated being humiliated. She wanted to climb to the top and surpass everyone. Fast forward to the future, the leading actress who had humiliated her back then was already locked away.
Tracy did not trust anyone in the industry. In fact, the only person she trusted was Roland, yet he was a nobody. His incompetence had long extinguished any hint of affection Tracy might have had for him.

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...
