The Day I Kissed An Older Man novel Chapter 2195

Melody turned around in frustration and said, "This has nothing to do with Nathan! It's about you assaulting Nathan for no good reason! He is my colleague! We're at work! You don't even know what we're talking about!"

"I might not know what you were doing with him, but I have eyes, Melody! I'm not blind!" Lucas yanked his tie in frustration.

"So, you think I'm cheating on you and having an affair with another man?" Melody found his logic extremely absurd. She never questioned him about his relationship with Thalia, yet he was jumping to conclusions about her relationship with Nathan!

'What does Lucas think of me? A pet to keep at home and entertain only when he's in a good mood? He listens to me when he's in a good mood, but he can't even let me finish a sentence when he's unhappy!'

Melody became angrier the more she thought about it. She raised her arm and pointed at the door. "I don't care what you think! It's not like you're going to understand whatever I say anyway! Please leave! I don't want to see you at my workplace ever again!"

Lucas was flabbergasted at Melody's act of chasing him out for the sake of some outsider. "What did you say? I'd like to hear you repeat it." He looked furious.

Melody took a deep breath and repeated what she just said. "I'll be clear with you, Lucas. Don't ever come to my workplace again! I hope you can separate your professional life from your private life. We'll only have to keep this charade up in front of Grandpa Cedric and Grandma Beatrice. That's it!"

Melody was obligated to cooperate with Lucas, but she did not owe him all her time. "Fine. You said it yourself, Melody. Don't come running to me if something happens next time!" he said harshly and left.

Wendy had already caused her enough suffering, and the lesson she learned from her family was that greater investments sometimes result in lesser returns. Love, in particular, was the worst kind of investment—those who did not lack love always received more and never gave in return.

Melody worked hard to achieve perfect scores, scholarships, competition prizes, and gold medals. Yet none of those achievements could ever compare to Wendy's flattery and coquettishness toward their parents.

Painful memories flooded back, and Melody could only let out a drawn-out sigh.
