The Day I Kissed An Older Man

Of course, along with the overwhelming praise, there were also some sarcastic and biting comments, mostly from Stella's fans. Shaun's fame, coupled with Melody's acting skills, and the platform-wide promotion kept the popularity high on her personal account.
Lucas, who was in the Rivera Group building, also saw Melody receiving
widespread acclaim for her acting.
The first time he watched behind-the-scenes footage of Melody shooting, it was a completely different experience from seeing her perform live. He seemed to have turned into an ordinary audience, captivated by her every expression and
movement. She transformed into a different person.
After a long pause, he sent Melody a message. [Congratulations on receiving public recognition for your acting. Keep up the good work.]
Melody happened to be scrolling on her phone when Lucas' message popped on the screen. As she read the message, the smile on her face froze.
'Isn't he supposed to be delivering food to Stella? How does he still have time to pay attention to me?' she wondered. 'Huh! I gotta hand it to him for his time management skills.'
Melody thought that Lucas had only glanced at the headlines in between delivering food for Stella, hence the 'insincere' message he sent her. He probably did not know what she had acted in. Melody took a deep breath and simply replied, [Thank you.]
As for anything else, she did not want to bother.
Lucas was sitting with his legs crossed lazily waiting for Melody's reply, only to be greeted with the two words, [Thank you.]
'Is that all? Is she not going to share any insights from the shoot with me? Doesn't she have anything to tell me about her being the most trending topic?'
Lucas exited the chat, then went back in to check again, but that was all he received from Melody.
'Perhaps she's still formulating a response,' he thought. He felt somewhat displeased about the absence of the 'typing...' indicator that never appeared.
Knock! Knock!
