The production crew seemed hesitant as the decision to grant or deny leave was not entirely in their hands.
"You should talk to Mister Shaun about this. Today's filming schedule is already quite demanding, especially considering you're in most of the scenes..."
Stella nodded and went in search of Mister Shaun while secretly cursing the production crew. 'That worthless piece of sh*t! He talks big most of the time, but he doesn't even have the authority to give me a day off.'
Shaun, upon hearing her request, did not look pleased either. However, he reluctantly waved when he saw sweat streaming down her red, swollen face. Her anxiety could not be any more obvious.
"Alright, go ahead. We'll rearrange the schedule. But don't make this a habit. We won't ever finish shooting the movie if everyone comes asking me for a leave."
Stella nodded repeatedly, not forgetting to embellish her lie. "Don't worry, Mister Shaun. I'll come back here once I've settled the emergency. I'm really sorry for any trouble I've caused everyone."
Meanwhile, Melody had been solely focused on memorizing her lines since arriving on set. Nonetheless, the commotion caused by Stella's hasty departure did not escape her notice.
…
Stella drove straight to the police station, intending to meet Wendy in person. She was willing to agree to whatever conditions Wendy might propose, as long as Wendy did not reveal her name.
When Wendy heard that someone wanted to see her, she assumed it was the tall, handsome young man that had come to rescue Melody that day.
To her surprise, it was Stella. The disappointment on Wendy's face was evident.
Stella snorted and casually threw her bag on the table. "Quite an impressive feat for you to land yourself in a police station in just two days' time."

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...
