The Day I Kissed An Older Man
Chapter 2488

Lucas pulled her back onto his shoulder, saying, "Do you remember what I said? I'll never ask you to do anything you don't want to do. Since you don't like the questions those reporters ask, I'll make sure they'll never appear in front of you again."

It was not an empty promise. Melody's heart raced as she listened. She knew it was not right to feel this way, but when she was being pressured by the reporters, she had also wished for them to disappear completely.

Lucas definitely could do that.

"Forget it, they also have families to support," said Melody eventually.

Lucas sighed and thought, 'She's as naive as ever.'

She considered their situation, but did those people ever consider the predicament they put Melody in when they pressured her? They were like flies, buzzing around wherever there was heat. They called themselves reporters, but they had long lost the professional ethics a reporter should have. They were all just slaves to money.

In the end, Melody still felt it was wrong for them to cause the reporters to lose their jobs. "I'm fine as long as they appear in front of me anymore. Let them interview whoever they want!"

Lucas just grunted in response, but he had other plans in mind. At the very least, those reporters needed to understand what questions were acceptable and what questions were not. He could not let Melody suffer like this again.

Lucas found it hard to believe that the reporters could not uncover anything about Melody's family's situation. It was just that they were unprofessional and unwilling to do so. They preferred to believe in another kind of 'truth' fabricated by Wendy. Simply because the buzz generated by those lies was greater and more attention-grabbing. Social media users enjoy certain narratives, so they just keep scripting them.

Moreover, celebrities like Melody were the ones who could generate the most buzz. They always lived under the fear of the reporters catching even a hint of something. Melody had already suffered once under their hands, and Lucas did not want to see her tripped up by these trivialities again. Melody had her own artistic pursuits, and all he needed to do was quietly clean up these messy affairs.

"You don't need to worry about these things anymore. I'll discuss it with Paige. How's the arrangement for your fan meetup going?"

Lucas knew that Melody had been looking forward to meeting her fans for weeks. Melody put her heart and soul into arranging every detail, hoping to give her fans the best experience.

"Hmm, everything's almost ready. Should I save you a ticket? I'm not sure what they like to see, so I've prepared a bit of everything. Luckily, I haven't forgotten what I learned before, or else I wouldn't know what talents to showcase."

Melody fantasized about what it would be like during the fan meetup, and just the thought of sitting among people who liked her made her unable to contain her excitement. She had never imagined that so many people would like her. Even when someone occasionally confessed to her, she felt pleasantly surprised. She actually did not understand why anyone would like her.
