The Day I Kissed An Older Man
Chapter 2038

The makeup artist concluded that Melody and Shaun were having an affair of sorts, and she would not listen no matter what explanations they provided. Although the others did not openly say anything, they silently agreed with the makeup artist's words.

Unfortunately, human nature dictated that people would enjoy hearing taboo and sensational things, even if those things were completely untrue.

"Alright, we've explained everything that we've needed to explain. The innocent have nothing to hide. Let's all get back to work now. We're already behind schedule as it is."

Despite the lingering doubts and suspicions in everyone's minds regarding their alleged improper relationship, Shaun had spoken, so nobody dared to say anything more. They could only get back to work. The makeup artist, having offended Shaun this time, had no intention of continuing to work there. She packed up and left immediately after everyone dispersed.

After everyone left, Mister Shaun sighed. "Melody, I apologize for not handling things well this time. But don't worry, we haven't done anything wrong, so we don't need to be afraid of what others say." Melody forced a smile. "Sorry, Mister Shaun. I've caused trouble for you again. We wouldn't be dealing with all these complications if I didn't take up the role of the female lead."

"I chose you because you meet my requirements for the female lead." Even in this situation, Shaun still believed in his judgment. "Other people's comments don't matter. Just focus on acting well. Then they'll have to eat their own words after they see how well you did."

Melody, with no better way to prove her innocence at that moment, could only nod. "Yes, Mister Shaun. I'll definitely do my best."

"Okay, I've already had Jelena contact the new makeup artist. It's going to take some time for her to get here, so use this time to prepare yourself. We'll start filming later," said Shaun before he turned and left. Melody nodded. She sat alone in the makeup room, taking out the script to review it carefully. Since no one believed she could perform well in 'War Song', she was even more determined to excel in her role. Only by doing so could she prove that she earned the role based on her skills, not through any improper means.

The new makeup artist arrived approximately an hour later. After touching up Melody's makeup, the filming finally began.

With Shaun's one-on-one coaching and her own thorough preparation, the filming went much more smoothly for Melody. As the shooting progressed, Melody was also able to relax slightly. In other words, she was no longer as nervous as before.

After the shooting concluded, she returned to the hotel and went to the assigned room to rest. She laid down on the bed and quickly fell asleep.

Not knowing how long she slept, Melody woke up in a daze. She picked up her phone and found several missed calls from Lucas. Sᴇaʀ*ᴄh the FɪndNøvel.ɴᴇt website on Gøøglᴇ to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.

Rubbing her eyes, Melody sat up and messaged Lucas. [I just woke up. What's up?]

[Lucas: Open the door]

Melody stared at those three words for a long time before realizing what they meant. She stood up and opened the door to her hotel room. Lucas was standing outside.

"What... What are... What are you doing here?" Startled by Lucas' appearance, Melody struggled to speak coherently.

Lucas sighed, gave a wry smile, and gestured with the things in his hand. "I was doing some business nearby, so I thought I'd drop by to see you." "Oh." The groggy Melody still felt light-headed.

Lucas entered the room and placed the items he brought on the table. "I heard from Shaun that you didn't have dinner today. I bought some on the way. Eat up." "Uh... How do you know everything?" Melody sat on the chair, opened the food container, and found a delicious-looking meal inside.

Lucas sat nearby silently, sporting a stern expression.

he had not planned to come, but Shaun mentioned that Melody's shoot did not go smoothly, so he thought of dropping by to check on her.
