The Day I Kissed An Older Man
Chapter 2220

Five minutes later, Melody-draped in a large towel-walked up to Shaun and resolutely said, "Mister Shaun, I've decided to do the scene myself after much thought."

Honestly speaking, Shaun was not surprised at all. Melody had a strong personality and a sense of responsibility. Plus, with Tracy's subtle provocation, she would never choose to use a stunt double. Nonetheless, this outcome was precisely something he did not want. He did not want Melody to choose not to use a stunt double out of spite.

"Are you certain? I don't want you to make this decision out of anger. We're all adults, so we should behave accordingly."

Melody was somewhat surprised. "Why would I make such a decision out of anger? I'm still very scared of going underwater. It's not because of someone else! It's because I want to challenge myself with this

scene.

"I haven't had such a role in the several scenes we've filmed before. And I'm truly grateful for the opportunity to work with such outstanding colleagues."

"Are you really sure you can do it?" asked Shaun with concern.

Melody nodded. "Yeah, of course!"

Melody's confidence somewhat eased Shaun. However, he made sure to have ample safety measures in place.

Two safety personnel were stationed at the spot where Melody was going to enter the water, ready to respond in case of an emergency. They had thorough inspection procedures, and if anything seemed off, they would bring Melody back to shore.

"Everyone, get in your position."

Tracy had thought Melody would use a stunt double, so most of the scenes were rehearsed with the stunt double.

Even though Shaun had told her they would not start shooting on the first try, Melody still found herself a bit nervous as the moment approached for her to get underwater.

This was her debut on the big screen, and she hoped to present herself in the most perfect form to the audience. Using a stunt double might break the immersion for the viewers and disrupt the cinematic experience.

Tracy disdainfully looked at Melody, who seemed on edge, thinking, 'It's your own fault if you drown since you chose to do the scene yourself!'

"If anything feels off, be sure to save her immediately, understand? Safety always comes first in our crew," Shaun told the two safety personnel. He could not afford to let anything happen to Melody since she was Lucas' wife.

Nathan had finished all of his scenes for the day already, so he stood on the sidelines, watching. Melody's performances always provided significant inspiration for the other cast members, so they often came to watch each other's scenes when they had time.

"Action!"

"Hailey, is it that I've changed or you have?"

Tracy did not hold back, forcefully pushing Melody into the sea. Melody gasped for air, realizing it was the signal for the beginning of the scene. She immersed herself even more into the role. "Ack! Hailey, what are you doing?" 'Athena' coughed.

Melody underestimated the power of that mouthful of seawater. She tried to suppress her cough but ended up coughing even more violently. sᴇaʀᴄh thᴇ Findɴovel.ɴet website on Gøøglᴇ to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.

Shaun had to call for a break. Fortunately, it was just a run-through of their lines and not the official shoot.

"Relax. The more you want to break free from the water, the more you're working against your body. Your body will respond better if you just go with the ebb and flow of the water."

Shaun comforted Melody while giving Tracy a warning glare. "Since you've chosen to stay in our crew, please keep your hands to yourself. Don't let me catch you getting physical with Melody." Little did he know that his words would come true. Later, when Shaun reflected on his sudden warning, he wished he had never said it.
