The Day I Kissed An Older Man
Chapter 2231

"Oh, it's normal if you don't know me. After all, I joined the crew a few months earlier than you. I was in the same batch as Miss Melody," said Monica with a smirk.

"You're quite the smooth talker. How come you haven't sweet-talked Miss Melody into giving you more screen time?" mocked Tracy.

Monica made an exaggerated shocked expression. "I thought everyone knew that Mister Shaun doesn't arbitrarily increase screen time for his movie. Do you think everyone is the same as you, Miss Tracy?

"We certainly don't use underhanded tactics to pressure the writers and Mister Shaun to increase screen time. Tsk, tsk! If I were you, I'd never have the face to speak in front of so many people. You should just stay quiet since you got what you wanted. Really, you're possibly the most shameless person I've ever met."

"Why you!"

Regardless of how amiable Tracy might appear, the undeniable fact was that she was responsible for the bullying incident that engulfed the entire crew earlier. At that moment, she could sense some unfriendly glances thrown her way.

With a darkened face, Tracy took a few steps forward and leaned in close to Monica, threatening, "You better keep that sharp tongue of yours. Next time we cross paths, I'd like to see what else you can come up with using that clever mouth of yours!"

Having said that, she left without looking back.

Monica, who had good relationships and popularity within the crew, was approached by a concerned friend who asked, "Why did you stand up for Miss Melody? Both she and Miss Tracy aren't somebody to mess with. What if you end up with no roles to play in the future? After all, Miss Tracy has the backing of Brightstar Entertainment."

Monica rolled her eyes. "I just couldn't stand how fake Tracy was being. I guess I have my straightforward to blame as well.

"Plus, it wasn't Melody's fault. Her decision not to use a stunt double was entirely for the sake of the crew. How did it end up becoming a case of her reaping what she sowed?"

She could not hold back her true feelings the last time, so she spoke up for Melody. This time was no different. Even though she had grown used to the dirty tactics that the industry used, she always believed that there was still good somewhere.

"I hope that Miss Melody will get you out of trouble when she comes back and hears that you've spoken up for her. After all, she has some backing," said Monica's friend. Sᴇaʀ*ᴄh the FɪndNøvel.ɴᴇt website on Gøøglᴇ to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.

Monica pulled her friend aside and said, "I didn't speak up for that reason. I just hope she can come back safely."

The two of them sighed at the same time. No one had expected that a minor drowning would escalate to Melody being in a coma.

"I think we need to clean up the issues within the crew. Only if everyone is united and focuses on making the movie, without causing any trouble, can we truly move forward," said Shaun. Shaun felt a bit frustrated, especially with Tracy acting so smug. He needed to figure out a way to get rid of her.

Some crew members remained in place, waiting for Shaun's instructions.

"Mister Shaun, nobody wanted this kind of accident to happen. All we can do now is pray for Miss Melody to wake up soon. Just let us know if there's anything you want us to do," one of the crew members said.

"Don't worry. I just need you all to focus on the routine maintenance of the equipment. The next time I come back, I'll make sure to bring Melody back safe and sound," Shaun replied, his tone firm. The crew members felt better with Shaun's reassurance. In his absence, they had been on edge, unsure of the future of their production.

"Have you thought about how to deal with Tracy?" the producer inquired.

He strongly advised against confronting Tracy as her ambitions were too great. She was the type who was willing to go to extremes to achieve her goals, often causing significant damage in the process.

"Don't worry about it. Mister Lucas is back, so we have nothing to fear. Given how serious Melody's condition is, he'll surely look into the matter. There's no need for us to take matters into our own hands," Shaun replied confidently.
