The Day I Kissed An Older Man

"How are you, Melody? Is your ankle better?" asked Monica.
Melody smiled. Monica's enthusiasm was always contagious, and Melody could not help but feel uplifted by her positivity.
"I'm mostly recovered, but I still can't put weight on my left foot for the next few days. I might need you and Penny to help me," Melody replied with a smile. Monica nodded. "It's so good to have you back. Now we can discuss the script together every day."
With Lucas having many things to attend to, they did not engage with him much and would follow his lead on how to address the rumors.
Once Melody was settled in, and seeing her enjoying her conversation with Monica and the others, Lucas simply bade them farewell before leaving.
After Lucas left, Monica finally mustered the courage to ask Melody, "Why the sudden move to the set? Your foot injury seems serious. Wouldn't it be more convenient to stay at home for now?"
Melody sighed, not wanting to delve into the details. "I have my reasons. What's the matter? You don't want me to stay in the dorm with you?"
Monica shook her head. "Of course I do! The more people living on set, the better. It'll be lively, just like when I was in school."
Melody smiled.
Noticing her inadvertent display of fatigue, Penny quickly pulled Monica away, and they left. The dorm, which had just been bustling with activity moments ago, suddenly felt empty.
It was not as spacious as the room she shared with Lucas at home. When she was with Lucas, every corner of that space seemed filled with his presence. In contrast, living alone in the dorm felt desolate and chilly.
Still, this was her choice, and she had no regrets. Creating some distance between herself and Lucas could give them both clarity on what they truly wanted.
She would gracefully step aside if Lucas wanted to be with Thalia. That way, they could avoid unnecessary emotional entanglement between them. Even though giving up on her beloved man might cause her pain, she believed that enduring short-term pain was better than prolonging suffering.
It was better to cut ties if she was destined to fall in love with someone who did not belong to her. Being too close to him only made her more miserable.
After seeing Melody off, Lucas did not return home. Instead, he went back to the office, and sat down on his desk, staring blankly at the documents spread out in front of him. Knock, knock!
"Mister Lucas, have you signed the document you requested just now? The finance department is in a hurry for it."
It was not until Edmund knocked on his office door that Lucas snapped out of his trance.
"Sorry, I spaced out for a moment. Let me check, and come back in five minutes."
Edmund was surprised by this unusual behavior, but he kept a calm demeanor. "Yes, Mister Lucas."
