The makeup artist concluded that Melody and Shaun were having an affair of sorts, and she would not listen no matter what explanations they provided. Although the others did not openly say anything, they silently agreed with the makeup artist's words.
Unfortunately, human nature dictated that people would enjoy hearing taboo and sensational things, even if those things were completely untrue.
"Alright, we've explained everything that we've needed to explain. The innocent have nothing to hide. Let's all get back to work now. We're already behind schedule as it is."
Despite the lingering doubts and suspicions in everyone's minds regarding their alleged improper relationship, Shaun had spoken, so nobody dared to say anything more. They could only get back to work.
The makeup artist, having offended Shaun this time, had no intention of continuing to work there. She packed up and left immediately after everyone dispersed.
After everyone left, Mister Shaun sighed. "Melody, I apologize for not handling things well this time. But don't worry, we haven't done anything wrong, so we don't need to be afraid of what others say."
Melody forced a smile. "Sorry, Mister Shaun. I've caused trouble for you again. We wouldn't be dealing with all these complications if I didn't take up the role of the female lead."
"I chose you because you meet my requirements for the female lead." Even in this situation, Shaun still believed in his judgment. "Other people's comments don't matter. Just focus on acting well. Then they'll have to eat their own words after they see how well you did."
Melody, with no better way to prove her innocence at that moment, could only nod. "Yes, Mister Shaun. I'll definitely do my best."
"Okay, I've already had Jelena contact the new makeup artist. It's going to take some time for her to get here, so use this time to prepare yourself. We'll start filming later," said Shaun before he turned and left.
Melody nodded. She sat alone in the makeup room, taking out the script to review it carefully. Since no one believed she could perform well in 'War Song', she was even more determined to excel in her role. Only by doing so could she prove that she earned the role based on her skills, not through any improper means.
The new makeup artist arrived approximately an hour later. After touching up Melody's makeup, the filming finally began.
With Shaun's one-on-one coaching and her own thorough preparation, the filming went much more smoothly for Melody. As the shooting progressed, Melody was also able to relax slightly. In other words, she was no longer as nervous as before.

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...
