The Day I Kissed An Older Man novel Chapter 1939

Edmund nodded. "Yes. Mister Lucas has been invited to a banquet tonight, and he needs you to go with him. Are you able to make it?"

Melody nodded. "Of course. That's what I should do."

After all, being by Lucas' side meant shielding him from unnecessary troubles. As long as Lucas needed her, she would cooperate with him in attending these events for a year.

"Sit tight, Miss Melody. We need to make a stop somewhere before going to the banquet."

Edmund sped up the car and brought Melody to a high-end styling studio.

"This studio is a partner of our company, and they've styled many A-listers for the red carpet. You can trust them to make you look stunning. Let them doll you up a bit."

"Alright..." Melody rarely wore makeup, but she knew that as Lucas' wife, she represented the image of the Rivera family. She had to dress up accordingly.

Melody followed Edmund inside. It was her first time in such a styling studio, and everything seemed a bit extravagant for her.

At that moment, Zeke stepped out and greeted Edmund with a smile, "Edmund, it's been a while. What brings you here today?"

Zeke then shifted his gaze and noticed Melody. "And who do we have here?"

"Hello, I'm Melody," greeted Melody with a smile.

Edmund stepped forward and informed Zeke of their purpose. "Miss Melody is accompanying Mister Lucas to a banquet tonight. We need your help in styling her. This is the outfit Mister Lucas selected, so please make her up accordingly."

"Is that so?" Zeke seemed somewhat surprised.

'How can such a down-to-earth woman be Lucas' date?' Zeke could not help but wonder. Nonetheless, he said, "It's okay! Since you don't have any preferences, I'll take the lead."

Zeke started moisturizing Melody's face with gentle movements while asking, "Miss Melody, if you don't mind me asking, what's your relationship with Lucas?"

"Well, it's a bit complicated…" Melody was not sure how to explain her connection with Lucas to others, especially since Edmund only told him she would be accompanying Lucas to the banquet that night. What if she said something she should not have?

Zeke did not press further and smiled as he began applying makeup. "Well, you don't have to tell me if you don't want to. I'm just a bit curious. After all, Lucas has never brought any lady here, let alone personally choose an outfit. I assume you must be someone different and special to him."

'Different? No way does Lucas think that! We wouldn't even have met each other if I hadn't mistakenly knocked on his hotel room door that night! As for why he personally chose this outfit for me, maybe he just didn't want me to embarrass him at the event,' thought Melody.
