The Day I Kissed An Older Man

That night, Lucas went to the guest room after Cedric and Beatrice had gone to sleep. It was the best arrangement for him and Melody, after all.

The next morning, Melody woke up to a headline.

Stella had issued a public statement clarifying the rumors from the previous day. She stated that the man from yesterday was just a friend who dropped her off at the hotel and left. In fact, she was sharing her hotel room with her assistant.

With that, the scandal died down.

Although the paparazzi knew that exposing Lucas as the man in the picture would become big news that could break the platform, they did not dare to go against the Riveras.

It turned out that the news from yesterday was leaked by a few inexperienced paparazzi who did not know Lucas. Thus, they daringly spread the rumors and ended up being reprimanded by their bosses. Aside from Stella's clarification, Melody noted that the previous news posts had disappeared.
