The Day I Kissed An Older Man
Chapter 2158

Melody's gaze turned cold as she saw Stella approaching.

After Stella removed her sunglasses, she moved in to try and hold Melody's hands. However, Melody anticipated her move and subtly sidestepped. Stella missed her target, lunging forward and nearly twisting her ankle, especially with her high heels making her balance precarious.

"Ah!" Stella exclaimed in surprise and pain.

Suddenly, all the crew members gathered around, looking at Stella with concern. Their gaze toward Melody, however, carried a hint of reproach. S~ᴇaʀᴄh the Find_Nøvel.ɴet website on Gøøglᴇ to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.

"Miss Stella, are you okay? Did you twist your ankle? Seems like our crew is cursed with foot injuries. First, Miss Tracy got her foot pricked by a thumbtack, and now Miss Stella almost twisted her ankle!" "Hmph. I've said it before that someone here has it in for the other actresses! It's best to quickly replace the female lead, or it'll be one mishap after another. Did you not see how ungrateful she is? Miss Stella was genuinely concerned for her, but she moved aside. Otherwise, why would Miss Stella almost fall?"

The woman speaking adjusted her glasses, eager to incite everyone to drive Melody away.

Stella put on a pitiful expression, making everyone take her side even more.

When she heard the crew members framing Melody, Stella pretended to intervene, "Don't say that about Melody. She's not like that! We've known each other for a long time, and she's never treated me like this before. There must be some reason behind it this time!"

Stella, fueled by her dramatic flair, approached Melody and forcibly held her hands. She looked at her with a gaze that supposedly conveyed understanding and tolerance.

"Melody, I know you must have your reasons. Otherwise, you wouldn't have done it. You've never harmed anyone before, so how could you possibly hurt Miss Tracy? Melody, please explain to everyone that you didn't mean to do it!"

The more Stella spoke up for Melody, the more everyone felt that Stella was being deceived, perceiving her as too innocent and kind.

Someone could not stand it anymore and accused Melody without holding back, "Melody, how can you break Miss Stella's trust in you? Don't you feel guilty at all? Miss Stella has been speaking up for you, yet you remain indifferent. You're the most heartless actress I've seen in all my years working in the industry."

Melody scoffed inwardly. She had only been in the industry for a month, yet she had already witnessed so many manipulative tactics, all aimed at her. It was truly an eye-opener. Thanks to these crew members, she realized that they were just ordinary colleagues at best collaborators for a single project and not likely to become friends.

She did not see the need to explain anything to these people.

Melody forcefully shook off Stella's hands. "I'm sorry, Miss Stella, but I don't recall us being that close. Please, don't involve me in your fake-friends act. Maybe you're used to acting, and it doesn't seem like a big deal to you, but I find it disgusting," Melody remarked coldly.

Stella pretended to be hurt, holding her chest and taking a few steps back. "Melody, how can you say that? I know you're not in a good mood right now, but you shouldn't take it out on me! Come on, explain to everyone that you didn't mean to hurt Miss Tracy. I'm sure everyone will forgive you then."
