The Day I Kissed An Older Man
Chapter 2188

Nathan smiled, accepting the cutleries Melody handed him. It was exactly this kind of thoughtful gesture that made him appreciate her even more. To him, it was not necessary for them to develop a romantic relationship as it would be more comfortable to have her as a friend.

"Miss Melody, online traffic is king right now. I think it'll be beneficial to the movie if we can generate some attention by pretending we're together," said Nathan.

Melody frowned slightly. She understood where Nathan was coming from, but... Sᴇaʀ*ᴄh the Find ɴøᴠel.nᴇt website on Gøøglᴇ to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.

"What you're saying makes sense, but if we gather too much attention, it might bring some negative impact to the movie itself."

Despite being relatively new to the entertainment industry, Melody understood some of the rules of the trade after having experienced numerous setbacks.

Some private interactions were unavoidable since the two of them played a couple in the film. After all, the aim was to create a film that was both well-received and commercially successful. However, if fans became too immersed in shipping the on-screen couple, it might pose challenges in the later stages.

Melody hoped that the audience who supported her could focus on the storyline of the film itself. Thus, if the film ended up deviating from its original direction in an attempt to win over a certain portion of the audience, it would be a case of losing more than gaining.

"Mm..." Nathan nodded. "I understand your concerns, Miss Melody. But Mister Shaun hasn't said anything about it, right? I'm pretty sure he'd be the first to put a stop to it if he thought it would be bad for the movie. This movie embodies a lot of Shaun's efforts, and he more than anyone wants to see the success of it."

Melody nodded. "You're right. Maybe I'm overthinking the whole thing."

While Melody was becoming familiar with the acting aspect, the entertainment industry was still relatively new to her, and the same applied to Nathan. Therefore, when there were uncertainties or matters they did not understand, they were inclined to discuss them with each other to avoid any mistakes.

"Don't worry too much. Let's wait and see how things unfold. If there are any developments online, we can discuss them later. We'll cross the bridge when we come to it," reassured Nathan. Melody nodded. "You're right. We'll do what you say. Let's wait and see for now."

She gave a faint smile. It turned out that, despite being multiracial, Nathan was quite familiar with the local social etiquette and traditional culture. Their conversation flowed smoothly from traditional opera to contemporary films, and they found themselves more and more in sync.

Melody had assumed that being multiracial, Nathan might feel distant, and they would have little common ground. However, appearance could be deceiving, and he did not appear as foreign as she had imagined.

After getting to know Nathan, Melody realized that his understanding surpassed hers in many aspects. They talked for a long time, both enjoying the conversation, unaware of any paparazzi around. Surprisingly, another set of photos made it online, sparking a new wave of excitement.

[Oh my god, they're the epitome of handsome and beautiful! Shaun's taste is impeccable. He has brought so many talented individuals to the big screens over the years!]

[I support! We-heart-it! Is this the joy of shipping a real couple?]

[Not only do they hang out with each other on set, but even after work. Ah, I feel so happy.]

There were plenty of fans shipping them, and most of them were ecstatic that Melody and Nathan were providing them with so much sweetness.

However, there were a few of Nathan's fangirls leaving snarky comments.

[My my, this woman is really 'resourceful', isn't she? She must have used some underhanded tactic to get Shaun, and now she's trying to seduce Nathan!] Melody's fans spotted this comment and immediately countered, [How dare you accuse my idol like that? It's not like Nathan is any better!]
