The Day I Kissed An Older Man
Chapter 2082

Lucas slammed the jade chopsticks he was holding onto the table, startling Melody.

"Sorry. How clumsy of me." He wiped the corner of his lips elegantly and said, "It's probably best not to give Melody coffee in the future. She's an actress now, and the director insists that she maintains her figure during the shoot. Right, Melody?"

He turned to Melody, clearly indicating that she should agree with him.

'I've barely exchanged a few sentences with Sherman, and Lucas is already inserting himself into our conversation? What about when he was reminiscing about the past with Stella? Did he think about how awkward it'd be for me then? Ugh. Forget it. It's my own fault for owing him money,' thought Melody.

Melody shrugged. "Lucas has a point. It's fine if I indulge once in a blue moon, but Shaun will give me an earful if I drink it every day."

Sherman nodded with a disapproving frown. He was obviously not in agreement with what Lucas said.

"But you're already quite slim, Melody. Gaining a little weight would make you even more attractive."

Melody blushed and smiled shyly at the compliment.

At that moment, the freshwater eel rice Melody ordered finally arrived, accompanied by a combination of fresh sushi that looked quite expensive. However, Melody had barely taken a few bites when she received a call from the film crew.

"Miss Melody, where are you right now?"

"Jeff? Did something happen on the set? I'm having lunch at the Japanese restaurant next to the film studio."

Melody set her spoon down, ready to head back. The film crew would not call her during break time unless there was an emergency on the set.

"Oh, thank goodness you haven't gone far. Mister Shaun has been looking for you. There are a few scenes that need to be reshot. It'd be fine if it were the later scenes, but these particular shots need to be edited into the behind-the-scenes footage today, so that's why I'm in such a rush to reach you. You know how Mister Shaun strives for perfection in every shot. Otherwise, I wouldn't have bothered you. Can you please return to the set now if you've finished your meal?"

Jeff was one of the few crew members who respected Melody's work.

"Okay! I've already eaten, so I can go back now. Can you give me twenty more minutes?" As she spoke, Melody stood up.

"Sorry, but I gotta cut this meal short. There's an emergency on the set, so I need to go back."

"I'll drive you!"

"I'll drive you!"

Both Lucas and Sherman spoke at the same time, creating a momentarily awkward atmosphere.

"There's no need to trouble others since I'm here. I'll take Melody back," Lucas stood up and adjusted his collar as a display of dominance. Stella was quite displeased. Her target was Lucas. The meal would lose its meaning if he left.

"Lucas, wait... Can you, um, take me to the hospital? I don't know if it's because I ate too much raw food, but my stomach hurts so much..." The waiter rolled his eyes. 'This lady is clearly acting. How can she blame our food when we use the freshest seafood for our raw fish?' Sherman raised an eyebrow. 'Wasn't she fine just a moment ago? Why is she in so much pain to the point of being unable to sit up straight?' After a moment of contemplation, he came to understand something.

"Lucas, how about you take Miss Stella to the hospital, and I'll send Melody back to her set?"

Lucas glanced at Stella and glumly said, "I'm not a doctor, and my car isn't an ambulance, nor does it have medical equipment. So it's better to call an ambulance."
