'I remembered I was at the desk, so how did I end up on the sofa?' wondered Lucas.
Before he left for work the morning before, he recalled Beatrice asking to speak to him after he got home. He was not sure what had happened last night, but Lucas had a vague feeling that something was off.
[Mister Lucas, Melody is being scolded by Mister Shaun right now. Hurry up and come to the rescue!] Monica even took a photo of Melody; she looked much thinner.
Lucas' heart tightened immediately. 'Didn't she say she can take care of herself? How did she become so thin in just a few days?'
Melody's hair was tousled by the wind, her face pale with no hint of color, and there were even two dark circles under her eyes!
He quickly grabbed his coat and prepared to head out.
Edmund was holding a document, ready to knock on the door, when Lucas opened it. Before he could say anything, Lucas hastily left, seeming like something urgent had come up.
"That's strange… There wasn't anything important today for him to rush out like that."
Back when Melody insisted on moving into the dormitory, Lucas had obtained Monica's contact information. Lucas could not help but worry no matter how much Melody insisted she could handle things on her own.
Monica did not often message him, just sending him a photo of Melody's dormitory and her dining with Melody in the cafeteria on the first day she moved in. Otherwise, she remained distanced.
Melody was completely unaware of all this.
"I'm just glad to hear that the dormitory isn't the problem. Get the makeup artist to cover up your dark circles later. Also, your eyes are too bloodshot. They're perfect for after the crying scene, but we can't have you looking like this before the scene. Good thing you have good looks. Otherwise, I don't think it'd have worked out for anyone else. Go now."
Shaun was not too worried about Melody. He figured they could just have the makeup artist cover up Melody's swollen eyes later. After all, Melody's face was smooth and perfect. There was not a single flaw to be seen on ordinary days. This left the makeup artist with little to do. That day, she finally had a chance to work her magic on Melody's face.
Sure enough, when the makeup artist, Evelyn Davis, saw Melody's condition, she was taken aback.
"Miss Melody, what happened to you? Did you stay up all night rehearsing your lines? No, your memory is exceptional; you don't need to stay up all night... Why are your dark circles so heavy?"
Melody smiled faintly. "I had trouble sleeping last night, so I'm not in the best condition today."

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...
