The Day I Kissed An Older Man
Chapter 2139

"I need you to watch the surveillance footage and give me an explanation," said Shaun.

Puzzled, Melody followed him to watch the surveillance footage.

The surveillance camera was aimed toward Tracy's dressing room. On the screen, a person wearing very familiar clothes sneakily opened Tracy's door.

Shaun nodded at the screen. "Is there anything you find suspicious?"

Melody thought it was a new kind of test, so she carefully pointed out what seemed odd to her.

"First, the clothes look somewhat familiar. Second, why does the person look around when opening Miss Tracy's door, as if she was sneaking in? Did Miss Tracy lose something?"

Shaun lit a cigarette, indicating for her to take a closer look. "Do you only find the clothes somewhat familiar?"

With the reminder from those around her, Melody looked down. Indeed, the person in the video was wearing the same outfit she had.

"So, how do you explain yourself?" Shaun asked as he took a drag from his cigarette.

Melody found the whole thing absurd. What was there to explain?

She had not been to Tracy's dressing room. What happened in the footage had nothing to do with her. How was she supposed to know why the person in the video was wearing the same outfit as her? More importantly, the person deliberately avoided the camera. There was no telling who that person really was.

"Mister Shaun, just exactly what do you expect me to explain? Don't tell me you asked me to come back urgently because you don't trust me. I swear I didn't go into Miss Tracy's dressing room. I have no reason to steal someone else's things."

Melody's face darkened. She never thought that one day she would be called a thief by the crew.

"It'll be less of a problem if something did go missing, but Miss Tracy's injured her foot! I suggest that whoever did this should own up to their actions!"

Melody frowned and stared at the person speaking. Unsurprisingly, it was the same woman who had been mocking her both openly and subtly.

"Is what she said true, Mister Shaun? Nothing went missing, but Miss Tracy's foot got injured?" asked Melody.

"Yes, Tracy is injured. The shooting this afternoon will be delayed," Shaun replied.

Melody frowned and said, "I'm sorry she got injured. But even so, it has absolutely nothing to do with me."

"How do you explain the person in the footage wearing the same clothes and having a similar body shape as you?" the cameraman questioned. He was not singling out Melody. He just could not stand all those petty fights between the actresses.

The shooting of the film was proceeding smoothly, benefiting everyone involved. However, another incident occurred unexpectedly, this time injuring an actress' foot.

"I don't know how to explain, and I feel like I shouldn't have to explain because I haven't been inside Miss Tracy's dressing room! How can I explain something I didn't do?"

Melody was at a loss for words. Everyone seemed to have concluded that she was responsible.

"I think you're just jealous of Miss Tracy's good reputation. You're afraid she'll surpass you, so you decided to hurt her to prevent her from filming."

Those who never liked Melody took the opportunity to throw more accusations at her.

"Although I'm just a newcomer, I have no interest in doing such things. Everyone has their own path, and I don't believe that Miss Tracy's rising popularity would make me lose my audience. All I want is to quietly act my role well. I'm not the kind of person who will hurt others for my own benefit!"

Melody pointed out the hole in the person's accusations with such integrity that the accuser blushed and did not know how to continue.

"Mister Shaun, do you also think I'd do such a thing?"

Melody was not afraid of what other people would think because they did not know her well enough. However, if Shaun also thought the same way...

She only needed one person to support her.

"I understand your point, but the footage from the surveillance camera is as plain as day. So I need you to provide a reasonable explanation to everyone. Not to mention, I also need to explain to all the investors."

Melody could hear the helplessness in Shaun's voice, and she could not help but feel disappointed. It was a matter of trust. sᴇaʀᴄh thᴇ FɪndNøvel.ɴᴇt website on Gøøglᴇ to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.
