A maid hiding behind the kitchen refrigerator was dragged out by one of the Riveras' servants.
The servant brought the maid in front of Lucas and threw her harshly to the ground. "Speak. Why were you sneaking around back there?"
The maid fell to the ground, her face filled with panic. She stammered, "M—Mister Lucas, I—I didn't do anything..."
Lucas looked down at her, his eyes filled with cold scrutiny.
The servant standing beside him questioned her on behalf of his master, "You better be honest to Mister Lucas! If you didn't do anything, why were you hiding?"
The maid shrank back in fear, her voice trembling as she kept her head down, not daring to look at anyone. "Because I was afraid..."
Seeing the maid speak hesitantly, the servant was about to rebuke her.
However, Lucas raised his hand, stopping the rough interrogation by his household servant. He took a step forward and asked the maid, "What are you afraid of?"
The maid, as if experiencing a great mental shock, shook her head in a panic. "Mister Lucas, I... I saw it, I saw everything..."
Lucas narrowed his eyes. "What did you see? Speak without worry. As long as I'm here, you don't need to be afraid."
The maid lifted her head and looked at Lucas's exceptionally handsome face, her cheeks involuntarily turning red.
No woman could resist the comfort of such a handsome, charming man in her moments of vulnerability. Moreover, this man was her master, wielding absolute authority.

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...
