Semua Bab The Day I Kissed An Older Man: Bab 2011 - Bab 2020

What a waste. She had missed the whole movie."The driver's not here yet, so let's wait for a while," said Lucas.He could not drive since he had drunk some alcohol. Thus, they stood next to his car and waited for the driver to come."Okay." Melody stood next to Lucas at a considerate distance, but she felt a tad uneasy regardless.Luckily, the driver arrived just when she thought she was going to explode. She quickly got into the front passenger seat, leaving Lucas no choice but to sit at the back.Along the way, Lucas looked at Melody's face through the reflection on the car window. His eyes narrowed as he got lost in thought.Melody could feel someone staring at her, causing her cheek to burn again. It was as if she was being grilled on a stove.They remained silent until they reached home, where they then entered one after another."I'll be in the guest room," said Lucas, stopping in front of their supposed bedroom.Melody nodded and hurried into the room. After closing th

Shaun sounded so sincere that Melody felt bad about turning down Shaun Tate's offer. Still, she was firm in her stance. "I'm sorry, Mister Shaun, but I have no acting experience. To be honest, I'm quite bad at it. I'd hate to cause any problems for the movie.""Please don't turn me down just that. Why don't you listen to what we have to offer first?" Shaun tried to tempt her with the offer. "If you play the female lead, you'll be paid three million dollars. I'll also arrange an assistant to take care of everything for you in the film set."Three million dollars? That was just the amount Melody needed!She never expected that she could easily earn three million dollars just by playing a role in a movie. She could pay off her debt if she took the role, and she would be debt-free!It was just a movie. No big deal, right? She could give it a try, and if it did not work for her, she could just quit."Alright." After a long hesitation, Melody decided to give acting a shot for the sake o

"Lucas…" Melody stood up as she called his name. She had no idea whether he agreed to let her work since he did not say anything.'Since I've told him everything and he had no opinion about it, I'll just assume that he approves of it. Well, I'm going to sign that contract tomorrow!' thought Melody with a bright smile.That night, Melody was so excited about her first job that she could not fall asleep.To give a good impression to Shaun, and also to make sure that he would not regret his choice, Melody applied a facial mask before putting on some light makeup.Once she was dressed up nicely and ready to go, she was surprised to find that Lucas had arranged for someone to send her to Shaun's company, where the contract signing ceremony was.Melody was in a great mood on her way to Shaun's company. This was not only her first job but also proof that she had what it took to get a job of her own.When Melody arrived at Shaun's company, she got out of the car and checked her attire be

"Thanks for your kind words, but I still don't know what kind of job you're still planning to pursue." Stella's eyes held a hint of disdain. In her view, Melody—who had to find a job to support herself—posed no threat to her.Melody lowered her head, feeling a bit uneasy. "I...haven't really decided. I just want to find something that suits me.""Oh, I see." Stella walked a few steps thoughtfully, then stopped in front of Melody. "How about this? Since Mister Shaun and I are old acquaintances, I can put in some good words for you and ask him to arrange a job for you when I see him later.For some reason, even though Stella was offering her help with a smile, Melody could not help but find her intimidating. She had a feeling that Stella was not as benign and simple as she appeared on the surface. She felt that Stella's thoughts were not something she could easily fathom."How about a clerical job?" offered Stella after pondering for a while. "It's an easy job, and the pay isn't bad.

Melody nodded and turned to Lucas, politely greeting him, "Hello, Mister Lucas. Nice to meet you."'Well, it seems she genuinely intends to act as if she doesn't know me at all,' thought Lucas with a resigned sigh."Hello, Miss Melody."'Since she doesn't want to reveal our relationship in public, I'll play along with her to see how long she can keep it up,' thought Lucas. After all, Shaun already knew Melody was his wife, and he promised to take good care of her on the set, so he already achieved his purpose in making the trip."Hope you don't mind me calling you just Melody from now on. It's easier that way," Shaun said, leading Melody to the contract laid out on the table and asking her to sit. "I personally oversaw this contract, so you can rest assured that all the promises made to you are written here in black and white.Melody could tell that Shaun truly wanted her to play the female lead in 'War Song'. The contract was very detailed, incorporating all the verbal promises S
