Even though both Shaun and the investors had money and had not mentioned anything about withholding salaries, everyone still felt better about the production continuing.
At least that was what everyone was thinking. Many who had not talked to Melody before the incident happened would ask her how she was doing when they saw her in crutches and supported by Monica.
Melody was pleasantly surprised by this sudden attention. A crew member next to her explained, "Ever since Mister Lucas visited, everyone understood who was responsible for getting us back on track so quickly. Of course, they'd be happy to talk to you now, right? Besides, after the recent incidents, everyone slowly realized that you were the truly innocent one, so it's only natural they're willing to take your side."
"Ah... I see." Melody did not know when Lucas had visited the set to show his support for her, but it caused a ripple of emotions within her.
It would have been easier on her if Lucas had been as cold as he appeared on the surface. However, every moment apart seemed to remind her that this man had quietly done so much for her behind the scenes.
How could she forget him so easily? She had not realized it, but Lucas' presence had already permeated her life at some point. She wanted to leave but found there was nowhere to escape.
Her expression remained indifferent, showing only a slight joy at returning to work, similar to her previous aloof demeanor. The crew members assumed it was just Melody's personality. In the past, they had misunderstood, thinking she did not care about interacting with them.
Monica sighed inwardly, feeling sorry for Melody. At the end of the day, most people were only being friendly with Melody because of Lucas' influence, not because they genuinely thought she was a good person.
To be even more blunt, they were just trying to curry favor with Lucas. Those people were opportunistic, and they did not care if others laughed at them. Monica sympathized with Melody in her own way, scratching the surface of her hand.
Of course, Melody knew Monica was venting for her, but all she wanted to focus on was wrapping up the filming of the movie peacefully. Everything else could be put aside. She did not care before, and she cared even less after.
At the shooting location, everything was ready. Melody could not help but take a deep breath when she stepped back into the studio after a long absence.
"Our lead actress is here. Everyone, please welcome Melody back!"

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...
