Lahat ng Kabanata ng The Day I Kissed An Older Man: Kabanata 2141 - Kabanata 2150

"Sir, are you trying to protect her? She's obviously trying to defend herself because she was the culprit!""Yeah! She can't be that stupid not to hide her face while committing the act."No one had expected Shaun to just brush it off like that when the proof was in the surveillance video. Based on their reaction, they would not rest until they saw Melody punished."What's all the ruckus? Has today's filming ended?" came a man's voice.The familiar voice drew Melody's attention, and she turned to see Lucas approaching them. He walked with a leisurely gait, and everyone around him seemed to make way for him without being asked.Melody wanted to pretend that nothing happened, but she felt a bitter taste in her mouth when Lucas came over and asked, "What happened?""Nothing," she said hoarsely, shaking her head. Those who seemed to want her punished ceased their efforts and were well aware of Lucas' identity. None of them wanted to get on Lucas' bad side after seeing how close he wa

"But they don't believe me," muttered Melody. She had worked together with them for a while, and the least she expected was for one person to believe her. When that did not happen, Melody was very disappointed."I thought that the director would believe me, but I guess I shouldn't have kept my hopes up..." Melody felt that their lack of trust in her was due to her problem.Lucas reached over and rubbed her head, retracting his hand only when her hair was messed up. "Stop those nonsense thoughts. Does it matter whether those people believe you or not?"Melody nodded. "Of course! It makes me feel that at least someone is willing to take my side. I never treated them terribly before, so why would they treat me the same?" In fact, she knew that those who believed her might decide not to speak up for her after seeing how suspicious the entire crew was of her. After all, they were just small-time staff, and it was not worth risking their job for her.Moreover, the surveillance video show

"Come in," Melody answered."Ma'am, several police officers have shown up. They're asking to see you. Would you like to go down and greet them or?"Melody placed the teacup down and realized that the crew must have decided to get the police involved, which she was fine with. After all, she could then leave the investigation to the police once she gave them her statement. She was certain that they would clear her name.The officers led Melody away as soon as she came down, which startled Beatrice and made her wonder if something bad had happened again. The officers' sudden appearance seemed to have come out of nowhere."You don't need to make the trip to the station with me. I haven't committed any crime. They're just going to record my statement according to the procedure."Beatrice was more relieved when she heard the explanation, but she asked anyway, "Can you at least tell us what happened? This sort of stress is a little too much for me to handle."Melody smiled reassuringly

'What kind of expression would he have if he noticed me?' Melody wondered. In the end, he did not even care to look at her and felt just like a random stranger in the crowd—a mere foil to the true star of the show.Melody raised her feet and left silently, knowing she would only feel more and more frustrated if she continued to look at them.Melody returned home with a heavy heart, and she could not control her emotions well. Beatrice immediately noticed that Melody was in a bad mood."What's wrong, Melody? Did the police officers bully you?" Beatrice's dry and slightly rough hands caressed Melody's cheek.She watched Melody squeeze out a stiff smile and said, "I'm fine. Nothing serious happened.""Come on now, Melody. Even that old man can tell that you're not in a good mood. Tell us what happened. You're still young, and you shouldn't keep everything in your heart. We're your family, after all. You can talk to us."Melody nodded vigorously. She was afraid that Beatrice's kindne

Lucas waved his hand to indicate that he did not need the menu and simply said, "I'll have whatever she's having."Stella was delighted to hear that and quickly halted the wait staff. "No celery for his serving, please. He's not fond of celery."The wait staff nodded and noted, "So that'll be two servings of pasta—one as is and the other without celery."Stella's smile grew even wider when the wait staff treated them as a couple going for lunch. It was not until she was comfortable in her chair that she finally came to the shocking realization that Lucas had taken the initiative to invite her to lunch!She believed that he had already fallen for her charm. Even the coldest of men would not resist her allure if she decided to woo them."What made you decide to ask me out to lunch today?" Stella blushed and lowered her head. She avoided looking at Lucas and portrayed a shy demeanor.Lucas remained expressionless. He tapped his fingertips on the table as if to try and phrase his sen
