The Day I Kissed An Older Man
Chapter 2024

However, when she looked into Lucas' firm eyes and listened to his patient explanations, she began to believe, albeit slightly, that he really went to see Shaun for her sake.

Realizing that he was truly there for her, the frustration Melody felt just a moment ago disappeared, replaced by a sense of bashfulness. She seemed to realize that the relationship between her and Lucas was no longer the same as before.

"Now are you willing to talk to me nicely?" Lucas leaned over her and smiled. "You haven't had lunch yet, have you?"

Melody was not hungry, but when Lucas mentioned it, she suddenly felt a hollow sensation in her stomach and nodded. "Yeah, I'm a bit hungry."

Lucas raised his hand to look at the time on his watch.

"It's already past twelve. I haven't had lunch either. How about we grab a meal together?"

"Sure."

Melody tried to restrain the smile on her face. It was only when she had her back turned to him that she allowed herself to beam with joy with her cheeks slightly flushed.

She glanced down at the contract in her hand and felt grateful for the contract.

'If it weren't for this contract, I'd never know Lucas would do something like that for me,' she thought.

Lucas took out his phone and called the driver, instructing him to come back and drive them to the restaurant.

The driver was very professional and quickly returned to the car, then took them to the restaurant.

"This restaurant must be expensive, huh?" Melody could not help but exclaim when she saw the exterior of the restaurant.

The restaurant was owned by a friend, and Lucas often went to eat there. He never had to pay. He had not thought about whether the restaurant was expensive or not since it was not something he needed to consider.

"As long as the food is delicious, the price doesn't matter." Lucas casually took her hand and led her into the restaurant.

Before Melody could react, she was already pulled into the restaurant. "Hey, Lucas..."

Her emotions were all over the place as she looked down at their interlocked hands and thought of what he had done for her earlier in the day.

Lucas sat in his usual private room and was about to order as he usually did when he remembered Melody was with him. Thus, he handed her the menu before calling the waiter over.

"What would you like to eat?"

It was not Melody's first time dining out with Lucas, but Lucas always ordered according to his own preferences, never bothering to ask if Melody liked the dishes.

This time, he himself handed the menu to Melody.

Melody took the menu and ordered a few dishes she liked.

"That'll be all."

Lucas then took the menu from her hands and ordered several of his usual dishes before handing the menu back to the waiter.

"Shaun promised me that he'll take good care of you during the filming. He'll also find a way to help you if you choose to continue working as an actress afterward," said Lucas, recounting his conversation with Shaun after ordering the food.

Melody did not expect him to think so far ahead for her. Besides the film she was about to shoot, he already planned out her future career path in the entertainment industry.
