The Day I Kissed An Older Man novel Chapter 2143

"But they don't believe me," muttered Melody. She had worked together with them for a while, and the least she expected was for one person to believe her. When that did not happen, Melody was very disappointed.

"I thought that the director would believe me, but I guess I shouldn't have kept my hopes up..." Melody felt that their lack of trust in her was due to her problem.

Lucas reached over and rubbed her head, retracting his hand only when her hair was messed up. "Stop those nonsense thoughts. Does it matter whether those people believe you or not?"

Melody nodded. "Of course! It makes me feel that at least someone is willing to take my side. I never treated them terribly before, so why would they treat me the same?" In fact, she knew that those who believed her might decide not to speak up for her after seeing how suspicious the entire crew was of her. After all, they were just small-time staff, and it was not worth risking their job for her.

Moreover, the surveillance video showed very clear evidence that the perpetrator was wearing the same clothes as Melody, which perhaps made it trickier to explain.

"You should know your innocence better than anyone. Even if someone thinks you're innocent, they're in no position to stand up and speak for you." Lucas manned the steering wheel with one hand and observed Melody's bad mood from time to time.

"I know that, but it still hurts," Melody lamented. She then asked casually, "Why do you believe me, then? The person in the surveillance footage wore the same clothes as I was. If I were in your shoes, I'd think that person was me too."

Melody's face became redder as Lucas spoke. She did not expect him to notice such subtle traits in her figure and mannerisms.

"Don't you always observe things like this in secret?" Lucas scoffed and acted as if Melody was side-eyeing him. "I've studied art before, so I have some understanding of the human body's structure. Why else do you think I could remember your physical features at a glance?"

Melody's face turned red, and she tried to stop him from talking anymore. "Okay, okay. I get it, you're a master at drawing people! You don't need to keep describing my traits!" She did not even realize that her mood had relaxed considerably after their conversation.
