The Day I Kissed An Older Man

"The driver is taking Stella? What about you?" Judging from the expression on Lucas' face, Melody figured he was not planning to leave. "Don't... Don't tell me you're planning to take the bus with me?" Lucas turned to look at her and nodded. "What? Am I not allowed to do so?"

"No, that wasn't what I meant." Melody glanced around and leaned in, lowering her voice. "It's just that you're the president of Rivera Group, so isn't taking the bus a bit beneath you?"

Seeing her acting furtively, Lucas narrowed his eyes. "Is there a law saying that people of my status can't take the bus?"

"Of course not." Melody straightened herself and decided not to dwell on the fact that he was taking the bus.

Melody was, however, secretly pleased. The fact that he was there at least proved that he was not that concerned about Stella.
