Melody honestly told Shaun what she thought. Since joining the production team, she completed a few scenes. Every time, she thought she had touched the core of Athena, the female lead character's name in the movie, but the next scene would tell her otherwise.
"Athena...is a very complex character. I thought she was just a pure and ordinary high school girl, but these scenes told me otherwise. She's strong, imaginative, and courageous, so I believe she'll behave boldly when she meets a foreigner for the first time."
Shaun laughed approvingly at Melody's serious analysis. "You've analyzed everything correctly, but think about it. Can't a lively and youthful high school girl be shy of meeting a foreigner for the first time? Shyness doesn't necessarily mean timidity, right?"
Melody nodded thoughtfully. "So, when I'm acting..."
"Melody, follow your gut. You're the female lead, not me."
Shaun's guidance opened Melody's mind. She realized that Athena was to be portrayed by her, and the charm of the female lead existing beyond the script should come from her.
'Why did I think that Athena's initial encounter with a foreigner had to be hesitant and timid? She could be shy, curious, or cautious as well!' thought Melody.
Stella stood not far away, watching Melody and Shaun passionately discussing the next scene. She could see appreciation and satisfaction in Shaun's eyes as if he had truly discovered a promising talent, causing him to feel gratified.
Stella's jealousy burned even stronger in her heart. That role should have been hers! She should be the one bantering with Shaun, not Melody—who seemingly came out of nowhere! Melody did not deserve any of this.
Suddenly, Stella's gaze shifted to the script lying quietly on the chair. It was a script specifically for the female lead, with Melody's name written on the cover in colored pens.

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...
