Ch. 1961..1970

The Day I Kissed An Older Chapter 1961-The waiting room was packed with other candidates who looked far more confident than Melody. It seemed that there would be a fierce competition.

Melody quickly ignored all thoughts about Wendy and sat down, concentrating on preparing for her interview.

"Next, Melody Sander!"

Melody stood up immediately, took a deep breath, and walked into the interview room.

After the interviewers took a look at Melody's resume, they asked a few questions. Their questions were difficult, but Melody was ready for anything they threw at her. She answered their questions calmly and confidently.

To her relief, the interviewers seemed to be impressed by her performance.

They asked Melody to wait in another room as they would choose some of the candidates for the second interview after they finished interviewing all the candidates in the first round.

Melody thanked them and moved to another room. When she arrived at the room, there were already three men and three women sitting inside, chatting with each other. All of them were asked to stay back after the interview.

"Hi!" A woman in a black suit waved at Melody when she came in. She invited her to sit with them.

"Hello." Melody went over with a smile.

"So which company did you work at previously? Do you know that the people who passed this interview will be working at another subsidiary company?"

Melody nodded insecurely. "I… I've never had a job before, so I don’t mind working at a subsidiary company, as long as I get the job."

"I see. Hope we'll become colleagues, then!"

Meanwhile, Wendy was shooting a product commercial at Parr Group. Although it was not a big brand, it was still a good opportunity for her.

"Hey, you! Go and check on how Melody's interview is going." Between her takes, Wendy called her assistant over and ordered her to get some information.

Her assistant came back shortly and told her about Melody's interview.

"What? Melody got into the second interview? How can someone who's beneath me get to work in this company? It's simply ridiculous!"

It had been a while since Wendy got a job, so she was very cooperative in the shooting.

Once the shooting was wrapped up smoothly, Wendy requested to have a tour around the company.

The staff from Parr Group did not turn her down. After they assigned sameone to show her around, they went off to continue their own work.

Melody was just having her second round of the interview when Wendy came to the intérview room. She stopped at the door to eavesdrop.

The second round of the interview emphasized advertisement design ideas and future career planning.

As Melody gained more confidence, her expression became more relaxed.

She was quite certain that she had nailed the interviews. In other words, she was getting the job!

Melody majored in design in college, so she had some thoughts 03 m commercial shooting.

•. The interViewers were impressed by her ideas.

"Wait a minute."

The Day I Kissed An Older Chapter 1962-Wendy pushed the door open and walked in abruptly. She smiled at the interviewers pleasantly. "Sorry to interrupt, gentlemen, but there's something I must tell you!"

"What are you doing, Wendy?" Melody shot up from her seat when she saw Wendy barging in. She had a bad feeling about it.

Wendy sneered at her before turning to the interviewers, saying," Gentlemen, I'd hate to see you end up hiring an unethical person who may ruin the good name of Parr Group after taking the time to go through the interviews."

The interviewers looked at each other. Then, the one seated at the center asked, "What do you mean? Why shouldn't we hire Melody? She meets all our requirements."

"Well, Melody is a cunning and rebellious woman. Not only did she disobey her parents, but she even cut them off so she could be a married man's mistress!” The interviewers were shocked. Wendy's words made them reconsider hiring Melody.

Melody was livid. She worked so hard to get this job opportunity, but it was about to be ruined because of Wendy's false accusation!

She tried to explain to the interviewers, "No, that's not true! I’m not a mistress.

Don't listen to her!"

Wendy smiled. "Is that so? Then how do you explain the three million dollars you threw at your parents when you wanted to cut them off? You were jobless back then! If you're not someone's mistress, why would anyone give you that much money?"

Melody tried to calm herself down so she would not slap Wendy for talking nonsense. She wanted to explain to the interviewers, but she could not do that without giving out Lucas' name.

While Melody was standing there silently, Wendy's smile deepened. "So? You've got nothing to say? Just admit it. That money was your reward for being someone's mistress!"

"What? So she's really a mistress?"

"This scandal may affect the company's reputation!" "Why would a mistress come for an interview?"

Wendy had somehow persuaded everyone that Melody was an unethical person. They were shocked, but they were also glad that they had not hired Melody, or they might be in trouble.

Melody had no choice but to explain sincerely, "Gentlemen, please allow me to explain. This woman may be my half-sister, but what she said isn't true! I cut ties with my family because they had been exploiting me. I can't give you the details as it involves my personal privacy, but what I can tell you is that I hadn't been treated fairly in that family.

"My parents even tried to use me to get a job opportunity for my half-sister. I had no.choice button barrow three million dollars to cut them off. That's why I need a job to pay off my debts now. Please believe me. I swear I've never done anything immoral in my life!"

"You're a mistress, a person who ruins someone else's family. The wife even came to our house to look for you! Do you think you can be sitting there if our parents didn't pay her off?"

Wendy smiled coldly as she crossed her arms. "Get a job opportunity for me? Are you listening to yourself."

MelodyN may not be a famous star, but at least I have a job. Do you think that I need my jobless sister to get a job opportunity for me?

"You…" Melody was speechless.

For the first time in her life, she finally understood the feeling of sitting on a powder keg. Wendy would say anything to stop her from getting the job!

The Day I Kissed An Older Chapter 1963-Melody did not have any conclusive evidence to prove her own innocence. 1 After a discussion, the interviewers decided to decline Melody's application and let her go.

Even though Melody was disappointed, she respected their decision and left the room frustratedly.

She thought that after she had cut off the Sanders with three million dollars, they would stay out of her life for good. Alas, Wendy did not seem to see it that way.

She would give anything to make Melody's life miserable, even when Melody was only trying to look for a job to earn a living.

'Am I stuck in this life?' Melody could not help but wonder.

When Melody walked gloomily to the entrance of Parr Group, Wendy ran up to her from behind and looked at her with a victorious smile. "What's the matter, Melody? Did they turn you down for the job? What a shame. Do you want me to get you some odd jobs in the film set?"

"Stay out of my way, Wendy. You don't want to mess with me now." Melody was in a terrible mood. There was no guarantee what she would do if Wendy kept annoying her.

The anger that she had been suppressing in her heart was on the verge of erupting, but she tried to calm herself down so she would not take it out on Wendy at the entrance of Parr Group.

At that moment, Melody only felt hatred toward Wendy. Not only did Wendy take away all her mother's love and attention, but she had also been picking on her since they were kids. No matter how Melody endured and gave in, Wendy simply would not stop torturing her!

"You'll never know peace so long as I'm alive, Melody!" Wendy glared at her, her eyes filled with indisputable arrogance. "You brought all of this to yourself! Your b*tch of a mother shouldn't have married my father, and you shouldn't have been born! You know how much I hate sharing attention with others. I'd be the only daughter in the Sander family if it weren't for you!"

"How could you hate my mother? She has been nothing but nice to you, and she always favors you over me! She treats you like a princess, yet you hate her?"

Melody always knew that Wendy hated her, but she never knew that she also hated her mother.

"Hmph! Luckily your mother isn't too stupid. She obeys me and Daddy, and does all the chores so we don't need to hire a housekeeper, otherwise, I'd definitely make Daddy kick you and your mother out of the house!" Wendy looked at her disdainfully. "Well, at least your mother knows how to take care of me, but you're just a good-for-nothing. You should've gotten out of my house years ago!"

"Ha! You'll make me sorry for it? We'll see about that!" Wendy Daisedher hand, to)sláp Melody.

"Enough, Wendy Sander! One more word, and l'll make you gorry for what you said' Melody could not listen to those heartless words anymore.

Melody expected nothing less, so she blocked Wendy's arm and gave her a slap instead.

"Melody, you b*tch! How dare you hit my face? I still have shootings to do!

You're so deadl sdreamed Wendy furiously. She dashed toward Melody and started ripping out her hair.

After Wendy was sent away, the staff came up to Sherman and said, "Sorry, Mister Sherman. I'll make sure nothing like this will ever happen again. I'll arrange for someone to replace Miss Wendy as soon as possible."

"The shooting can wait. I want you to do something else for now," said Sherman with an ambiguous smile.

Wendy got into her minivan angrily after she and her assistant were kicked out of Parr Group. "This is all Melody's fault! I'm going to make her pay for this if it's the last thing I do!"

Wendy's assistant, who sat next to her, said timidly, "Miss Wendy, maybe we should go to the hospital first. Otherwise, the scratches might leave a scar on your face."

"And where were you?" asked Wendy as she glared at her assistant. Before the assistant could even answer, Wendy smacked her face.

Wendy was so furious that she took it out on her assistant. "Where were you?!

Melody wouldn't have scratched my face that easily if you were there to stop here!"

The assistant was already frightened to death. She could not hold her tears after being slapped. "Miss Wendy, you said that you forgot your mug upstairs and asked me to go get it for you. The two of you were fighting already by the time I came down!"

Wendy did not give a d*mn about her explanation. She slapped the other side of her face and said, "It's all your fault! This is all your fault, you good- for-nothing imbecile!"

After venting out all her anger, Wendy looked out the window with her eyes full of hatred. "You dare to go against me now, Melody Sander? Well, we'll just see about that!"

Melody had been wandering around aimlessly since she left Parr Group.

Although she was depressed about what happened, it could not be undone. The only thing she could do was return to Riveras' estate and start looking for jobs all over again.

She walked to the bus station and got on a bus. She lowered her head and rubbed the hand which slapped Wendy's face. She could still feel the sting after slapping Wendy with all of her strength.

Even though she managed to shut Wendy up this time, she felt no joy at all. She could tell that the interviewers did not believe everything Wendy had said, but they did not want to take the risk of hiring her either.

She had just lost her chance of a lifetime. To be honest, she had no idea what she should do next.

"Miss Melody!"

"And you are?" Melody tried to recall who the woman was, but she was quite sure she did not know her.

"I'm not sure either. Please come with me. You'll find out soon when you meet our president."

Melody eyed her suspiciously

Wendy was all bark and not bite. She might seem powerful, but she was not physically strong.

The Day I Kissed An Older Chapter 1964-Melody really did not want to make a scene at the entrance of Parr Group, but Wendy had gone too far. She thus pushed and pinned Wendy to the ground.

"Wendy Sander, do you think I'll give in like I used to?! For the last time, stay away from me!"

When security came to stop them, Melody let go of Wendy immediately as she did not want to cause any more trouble. She stood up and dusted herself off.

Wendy cared about her looks more than anything. She spent most of her time and money maintaining her looks every day. Hence, when Melody released her, the first thing that came into her mind was getting a mirror.

"Mirror! Someone give me a mirror!"

When she could not get a mirror, she got on her feet and ran to the glass door of the entrance. Through the reflection, she saw the three scratches on her face, causing her to scream. "Ahh! My face! My face! You'll be sorry for this, Melody, you b*tch!"

Melody walked over to her.

When Wendy saw her approaching, she took a few steps back timidly as she knew she was no match for her. "What are you doing?"

"Nothing." Melody took out her phone from her bag and said coldly, "After experiencing your many attempts to frame me, I've had a habit of recording your conversation with Mom and Dad. And I happened to record everything you said in the interview just now."

Wendy stared at Melody's phone angrily. "What are you planning to do with that?"

"I slapped you today because you made me do it. Hopefully, that will teach you a lesson. You have no choice but to endure it. Don't even think of kicking up a fuss about it, or I'll sue you for defamation! I have witnesses to prove that you accused me of being a mistress while you have no proof of that. In other words, you'll definitely lose in court. Let's see if you can survive in the entertainment industry when news about you losing a court case goes public."

Wendy's eyes widened in shock. "Why, you-!"

Although Wendy managed to convince the interviewers that Melody was a mistress, she actually had no proof of that. She would surely lose the court case if Melody filed a lawsuit against her.

"Alright, I've got something else to do. I don't want to waste another second of my time on you." Melody had had enough, so she turned and left.

Wendy stared at Melody, gritting her teeth. All she could do was watch her leave.

When Wendy was about to leave, she turned and saw Sherman, the new president of Parr Group. "Oh, hello, Mister Sherman!"

Sherman had just arrived at the company when Wendy and Melody were making a scene. He saw everything from his car.

He had always thought that Melody was a quiet girl, so he was surprised to see the aggressive side of her. Even though she was different from the Melody whom he used to know, this side of her was more real and lively.

Wendy approached Sherman while covering her injured face pitifully."

Sorry, Mister Sherman, Pleass m excuse my sister for making a scene at your company. She's been treating me like that since we were young, so I'm quite used to it. But that's not important. Please allow me to apologize on her behalf."

Sherman looked at Wendy in disgust and stepped back. He did not buy her lies. "I saw everything, Miss Wendy.

Since your face is injured, you're hot fit for the restof the shooting, so maybe it's best that you go home.

Well find another actress for the commercial." "What?" Wendy looked at Sherman in disbelief. "Mister Sherman, we signed an agreement.

You can't replace me without any reason!"

"Do you plan to shoot the commercial with a face like that, Miss Wendy?

You're supposed to protect your own image, yet you dicht. You're the one Who broke our agreement, so the agreement is invalid now. Security, please see Miss Wendy out of the building," replied Sherman indifferently.

"No, Mister Sherman! My face is fine! I'll just cover the scratches with some makeup! The photo editor can do a little touch-up after the shooting as well! I swear no one will notice! Please, Mister Sherman…"

Wendy's pleas were ignored as the security team kicked out Wendy and her assistant anyway.

The Day I Kissed An Older Chapter 1965-After Wendy was sent away, the staff came up to Sherman and said, "Sorry, Mister Sherman. I'll make sure nothing like this will ever happen again. I'll arrange for someone to replace Miss Wendy as soon as possible."
