"Here, have a seat. It's been a while. How have you been?" asked Melody.
After Sherman greeted Lucas, he answered Melody with a smile, "Things are going well. Remember the deal I told you about last time that was a little hard to get? Well, we managed to secure it."
Melody was genuinely happy to hear Sherman's good news. "That's fantastic! That deal was really tough. I always say you have a strong team with you, and with you involved, how could the client not hire your company!"
Sherman's eyes crinkled with his smile as he reached out to ruffle Melody's hair, leaving both Melody and Lucas momentarily stunned. Melody immediately recoiled, feeling uncomfortable with the sudden, intimate gesture. Adding Lucas's presence to the scene made it even more peculiar.
"Um, thanks, Sherman. I just finished filming, and I completely forgot my hair was a mess..." Melody said, trying to diffuse the situation.
Sherman remained smiling, offering no explanation for his actions. Meanwhile, Lucas stood up. Being an inch taller than Sherman, he appeared imposing as he looked down at him.
Melody tugged at Lucas' sleeve, signaling him to calm down. Sherman had come to visit her, and she did not want any trouble.
Meeting Melody's gaze, Lucas conceded defeat. After all, he had just made her upset a moment ago.

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...
