The thought that Melody would no longer stand between her and Lucas filled Stella with a rush of glee. Even the espresso in her mouth tasted sweet to her.
As the shooting was about to start, there was still no sign of Melody even as Shaun hurriedly arrived at the set.
"Where's Melody? How come we haven't seen her yet?" asked Stella casually.
Several nearby crew members also craned their necks, looking around. Normally, Melody would have been sitting on a small stool, going through her script at that time. Thus, the missing sight of her was very strange indeed.
"I don't know. I haven't heard anything about her taking a leave. Maybe she got stuck in traffic?" one crew member suggested.
Stella quickly lifted her coffee cup to hide the suppressed laughter bubbling inside her.
"Maybe," echoed Stella. Then, to herself, she thought, 'It'd be great if that woman doesn't show up! It'll be even better if she never comes again. Then I could take over the lead role. There's no one more suitable for this role than me!'
However, Melody was indeed only delayed by some traffic. When she finally got out of the car, the first thing she saw was the unrestrained smile on Stella's face.
As their eyes met, Stella struggled to control the surprise on her face. 'What is she doing here? Didn't Wendy send a few thugs to mess her up? How could she appear at the set unharmed?'
There was no hint of the trauma Melody had gone through. It was completely inconsistent with what Stella thought she was supposed to look like.
Stella felt a bit uneasy, especially with Melody looking at her indifferently.

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...
