The Day I Kissed An Older Man novel Chapter 1969

After much internal struggle, Melody weighed her options and reluctantly decided to let go of this opportunity. After all, she had a prior commitment with Lucas, so she could not ignore his warning just for the sake of a job.

"I'm sorry, Sherman. I appreciate your offer, but I don't think I can handle this job. Thank you, though," said Melody.

Sherman was somewhat surprised by Melody's decision. The job came with an excellent salary, and it would be challenging for her to come across such a great opportunity again. Moreover, Sherman could sense that Melody truly needed a job. Thus, he could not understand why she refused this golden opportunity.

"Can I ask why?" Sherman was not ready to give up yet.

Just as Melody was about to come up with a believable excuse, her phone rang.

She glanced down at the caller ID and found that it was Lucas calling.

After a quick apology, she got up and walked a little farther away to answer the phone. "Hello?"

"Are you at Parr Group?" asked Lucas gruffly.

'Sherman has taken over Parr Group. Why is Melody going to him now?' Lucas wondered.

After finishing a meeting, Lucas noticed Melody's message and promptly returned her call.

He genuinely felt that Melody was not as submissive and obedient as she looked. She was not only dishonest but also a troublemaker.

"Yes, I came here for a job interview," Melody replied.
