The Day I Kissed An Older Man novel Chapter 2246

Lucas was simmering with anger. Sherman's intentions were glaringly transparent, and he doubted that Melody could not sense what was going on.

"I view him as just a male friend who shows concern for me from time to time. There's nothing wrong with that. Or are you suggesting that I don't deserve anyone else's care and concern?"

"That means you have no further information for me then," he finally remarked.

Shaun then said, "I'm sorry, we—"

"Save your breath. I don't want to hear your apologies," Lucas waved his hand. "If you can't get this matter done, then don't get in the way of what I'm about to do."

"But sir, we're all members of the crew here," Shaun protested. "Melody would want all our scenes to proceed safely in the future, and—"
