"You're not angry? Most people would be upset in this situation," Shaun remarked, surprised that Melody did not seem bothered.
"What's there to be angry about? I'm not the director or the writer of this movie. The fate of my screen time has always been in your hands, Mister Shaun.
"While it's true I'll be getting less screen time, it's not like you're firing me. If anything, I don't get why Tracy would make a demand like this. What benefit does it bring her? If I were her, I'd make you replace me."
Shaun chuckled awkwardly, not expecting Melody to have a knack for dry humor.
"All right, since you don't mind, let's turn the page on this matter for now. We'll wait until she releases a video to clarify things, and that'll be the end of it," he said.
Melody nodded, hoping to resume filming as soon as possible.
Meanwhile, Lucas—who was in Molomia—had finally come across the news. His immediate reaction was to want to fly back to help Melody resolve the mess.
'Shaun's production team seems to be having a string of bad luck. Just as they bid farewell to one leading actress, they welcomed another, albeit in a different sense of the word.'
After some thought, considering they were still giving each other the silent treatment before he left, Lucas did not want to risk getting a rebuff from her. Thus, he took the safer route of sending Melody a message, [What happened in your production team this time?]
Melody had set a special alert for Lucas' messages, so as soon as she heard the distinctive sound, she knew it was from him. It was rare for him to message her, yet Melody decided not to reply after reading his message.
Each reply meant dependency, a desire for Lucas to be by her side. However, he was not someone she could long for, considering the many unresolved issues between them.
"Miss Melody, it's time for you to prepare for the next scene again!" a timid-looking girl came to inform her, appearing a bit hesitant.
Melody collected her thoughts, realizing that since she had already decided to move forward, there was no need to dwell on it any longer.
"Okay, I'm coming."
Melody was about to get up, but she noticed the girl did not leave.
"What's wrong? Is there something else?"

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...
