The Day I Kissed An Older Man
Chapter 2016

However, Stella concealed the fact that she did not get the female lead role in Shaun's movie to Melody. She had discussed it with Shaun several times before, but he kept saying that the role was not suitable for her, and it remained undecided.

On that day, she heard that Shaun had found a suitable actress and would sign the contract on the same day. Thus, she came to see who he had chosen instead of her. "Mister Shaun's movie? Is it 'War Song'?" asked Melody.

Stella was a bit wary. "How do you know? By the way, you have no connection to the entertainment industry, so what are you doing here?"

Melody sensed hostility from Stella as soon as their eyes met, so she did not want to say too much. "I just thought I'd try my luck to see if I can get a job here."

"Oh, I see." Stella sneered inwardly while maintaining a calm expression. "But it's not like Lucas can't afford to keep you at home. Why would he allow you to come out to work?"

She was implying that Lucas was not treating Melody well. Little did she know that it was Melody who chose to come out to work and that Lucas did not want her to do that at all. Nevertheless, Melody did not feel the need to explain anything to Stella.

Unaware of these details, Stella continued, "Mister Shaun has prepared for this movie for a long time. The script alone went through so many changes until he was happy with it. I believe this movie is bound to be a huge success!"

That was why, despite receiving a clear rejection, Stella refused to give up. Shaun was one of the top movie directors in the industry, and each of his films tended to become a major hit, which would no doubt benefit the cast involved.

Although Stella was popular enough and would receive a constant stream of scripts, she had always been worried about her future. She entered the entertainment industry as a sweet and understanding young girl, achieving fame mainly through several commercial films where she played the female lead.

However, most of the scripts she scored were unlikely to win any awards. As she got older, she could sense that her status was not as unshakeable as before. She feared her fame would decline if things continued this way. By then, regardless of previous fame, she would be like a fading star, unable to survive in the entertainment industry.

She had to quickly secure a transformative project to maintain her position in the entertainment industry.

Shaun's 'War Song' was the best opportunity for this, but she tried to secure the female lead role several times without success. This was her last chance as she would truly have no chance if Shaun was to sign the contract with the new actress.

Melody could see that Stella had a strong interest in the movie and was very knowledgeable about it. However, Shaun did mention that she would play the female lead during their previous phone call. 'Wait. Did Stella also say she's playing the female lead? Is the movie going to be one of those trendy dual female lead dramas?' thought Melody.

She found that quite strange, but there was no definitive answer she could come up with.

"Well, Miss Stella, I wish you nothing but success in this movie!" said Melody.
