Melody rarely minced her words. Plus, she was already in a bad mood to begin with. Tracy kept on pushing her buttons, and Melody was at her wits' end.
Out of consideration for everyone, Melody tolerated Tracy, only for the situation to worsen. It was not her fault, so why should she continue to give in?
Shaun looked frustrated as well. He had advised Tracy not to push herself too hard, but she refused to listen to him.
"Alright, both of you, that's enough," said Shaun.
Tracy looked aggrieved. "Mister Shaun, do you also think it's my fault like Melody does? I wouldn't have fallen to the ground if she hadn't let go. I'm healing, but it's worsened all over again. I got hurt two times because of her! Am I not even allowed to complain a little?"
Tracy lowered her head and blinked a few times. Soon, tears started streaming down her face.
Shaun became even more frustrated. What started as a small matter turned into a situation where Tracy made it seem like the entire cast and crew were ganging up on her.
"There's no need for tears. Let's talk things out rationally. Did anyone else see what happened? How can we be sure that Melody pushed you? We can't simply conclude that Melody is the culprit based on your words alone," Shaun said with a tinge of bitterness.
Handling such conflicts had become somewhat routine for him. He was not foolish enough to blindly believe Tracy's one-sided account, having learned a lesson from the previous incident.
The other crew members were reluctant to get involved and preferred to stay out of the mess. After all, it was not their concern. Not to mention, everyone was busy getting ready to reshoot the scene earlier, so they were not really paying much attention to Tracy and Melody.
"I am the victim. That makes me an eyewitness as well!" Tracy trembled as she uttered these words.
"Perhaps you should take your own advice, Miss Tracy. Save the acting for when the cameras are rolling. Stop trying to frame me. The audience isn't blind, you know."
The resolution of the incident went more smoothly than Melody expected. She had anticipated being blamed by the others again like what went down with Stella. To her surprise, the crew members did not side with Tracy.
'Does this mean the crew members are accepting me?' she wondered.
Melody cheered up a bit at the thought.
Little did she know that this minor incident would quickly escalate online.

The readers' comments on the novel: The Day I Kissed An Older Man
This book is a good book, but it’s too short. I hope it has a part two👍🏾...
This book is getting boring now. I loved Jeremy, Corinne, Sonny and Lucas. The story needs to end. or bring back more of Jeremy, etc....
I haven't skipped any chapter at all. Though the story is good, it keeps going back to base one. I think this has no ending at all and somehow after reading more than 2500 chapters it's kinda tiring already. They have drained all the thrills....
Great writing! I almost cried when Helen hit Melody! So sad! 😭 can’t wait to see how the relationship with her and Lucas develops though. So tired of the repetitive problems with different people....
Yikes my body tenses so much, my moods change as the scenes change. It leaves me wanting to continue reading....
my heart breaks for melody, so many ups and downs, i shed a few tears when lucas walked by melody carrying thalia, and melody stayed quiet while watching them leave. i find myself getting into character as if im one. i dont remember ever feeling like that in any other books. im thankful the 10 chapters/day. waiting for the next 10...
We have updated progress from 7 chapters/day to 10 chapters/day.<3...
i love grandma Beatrice, there needs to me more people like her in the world straight forward and to the point, no beating around the bush and worrying about offending anyone, why pretend to be someone your not....
looking forward to more chapters, The same thing is happening to Melody as what happened to Luna, if Luna was back maybe she would set Lucas straight, can't wait to see how Lucas handles the situations that will arrive. Poor Melody....
ya Lucas pay more attention to Melody lets see what happens waiting for more chapters thanks...
