"Even me included. The works I produce are for the public to see, not for me to admire alone. I want many people to see them. I also want them to see my appeal and what I can do. Otherwise, I'll be out of work. I know, no matter how much I say now, you may not necessarily be able to take it in. Just remember that all this attention you're getting may not necessarily be a bad thing. As for the rest, you can think about it slowly when you go back."
It was the first time Shaun had opened up and empathized with Melody like this.
'Even Mister Shaun cares about his popularity. What's to say about the other celebrities?' thought Melody. She then nodded and said, "Don't worry, Mister Shaun. I'll definitely think about what you said carefully."
"Oh, I'm not worried about you. I just hope you don't get bogged down by unnecessary worries."
There had been such examples before. There was an actor who had tremendous advantages, showcasing both acting skills and strength right from his debut. He also had popularity, but he arrogantly disregarded his fans and audience. The last Shaun heard, he vanished without a trace.
It might be harsh to say but there were people who wanted to hire him. In the end, all his movies flopped. Naturally, as time passed, no one wanted to hire him anymore. After all, every director on earth relied on their audience to make a living. Without audience appeal, no director in their right mind would want to cast him in a movie.
Melody remained silent for a long time. Perhaps she really needed to consider her dilemma from a different perspective. She possessed what others envied, and perhaps she could use her popularity to do something.
Melody's studio was bustling with activities on the day of the fan meet-up. Paige, especially, attached great importance to the fan meet-up. At first, she was a bit reluctant when Lucas tasked her with taking care of Melody. After all, Melody was just a newbie actress, not worth her effort.
However, after working with Melody for some time, she vaguely felt that she had hit the jackpot. She thought Melody had a lot of potential, and under her guidance, she could definitely become a superstar.
While Melody brushed her teeth, Lucas buried his face in her neck, took a few deep breaths, and slowly regained his energy. Melody was downright amused by his action.
"Alright, you take your time getting ready. The driver will drop you off at the venue later while I'll head over there with the studio staff."
Lucas nodded. Melody was the star of the day and busy with preparations, so he knew he could not delay her at a time like this.
Melody did not bother putting on makeup at home. She went through the rehearsal with all the staff on-site, confirming that there were no issues with the lighting and special effects before going to the dressing room to put on her makeup.

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...
