Wendy's words were harsh as if Thalia should shoulder all the blame. Thalia was understandably unhappy at the other end of the phone.
"You say that like it's an easy feat to accomplish. Do you think it's that easy to lure him away from that woman for a minute or two? Do you know how many bodyguards are around? They all had their eyes on me after that incident involving Beatrice! It's not easy for me to do something like that at this point in time. If you fail, then I'll become the prime suspect. I've already sacrificed a lot in case you didn't know."
Wendy was irritated. "I never would've considered teaming up with you if you hadn’t come to me and suggested that! If you're so indecisive and hesitant about this and that, I might as well just do everything alone!"
She had made up her mind to ruin Melody's reputation either the next day or the day after next. When Thalia told her that it was not a good time to set things in motion, it was practically the same as pouring cold water on her plans.
"I've told you a long time ago that calmness is the key to achieving such a big-scale plan. You decided to make a move because you were too anxious. I never agreed to it, did I?"
Wendy had been in a bad mood after being served by the lawyer, and that was further exacerbated by Thalia's scolding. Her face turned red, and her slender figure became even shakier.
"Of course I'm anxious. She got a lawyer to serve me with a lawsuit! You can take things slow because you're not the one being sued! If I go down, no one's going to be your scapegoat anymore!" Wendy sneered.
Thalia remained silent. They both knew very well that Thalia insisted on cooperating with her because she could then blame Wendy for everything if the incident came to light. Wendy's desire to destroy Melody was so strong that she did not care about being used by Thalia and eventually becoming a scapegoat.
"Okay, I'll leave it at that. If you can't handle it, just quit." Wendy was about to hang up when Thalia stopped her suddenly.

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...
