The Day I Kissed An Older Man
Chapter 2069

'Why does it feel like she doesn't care after I've put in so much effort and money into provoking her? Does she not care at all about how others criticize her at all?' thought Stella. According to what she had heard, the crew members often complained privately that Melody lacked basic social skills.

Ha! Stella understood the greed of those people the most. It was just that Melody had not allowed them to take advantage of her, so they spread gossip about her everywhere. Nonetheless, Melody's indifferent demeanor made Stella feel quite furious.

'That b*tch only managed to get this job because of her connection with Lucas, so what gives her the right to act all haughty?'

Suddenly, Stella's phone rang. She picked up the phone but did not answer immediately.

The ringing irritated Melody, and she unconsciously raised her head. "Miss Stella, your phone is ringing. Aren't you going to answer?"

Stella bit her lip, her gaze awkwardly shifting from the displayed name on her phone to Melody. After some hesitation, she finally answered the call.

"Hello?"

Melody had no interest in eavesdropping on her, but Stella intentionally answered the call in her presence so she could naturally hear her talking over the phone.

"Oh, you're planning to bring some food over to me? It's okay. I'm not hungry! Yeah, Mintz made a lot of food for Melody's crew this morning, and I had some of them too. Yeah..." Melody knew who was on the other end of the phone.

"You don't need to buy it for me. I'm really not hungry. Oh, by the way, let me check if Melody has eaten. Otherwise, you can bring her some food. Wait a moment, let me ask. Melody—"

As Melody looked up, she saw Stella's exaggerated smiling face, with the other hand theatrically covering the receiver.

'Is that necessary?' thought Melody

"Melody, Lucas said he wants to bring me some food. Have you eaten? Do you want him to bring you some as well?"

'As well?' Melody was no fool. She knew exactly what Stella was implying by those two little words. However, instead of being angry, she was just annoyed. 'Why does she always have to drag me into their affairs? I've already decided to leave after paying off my debts. Is that not enough?'

The more annoyed Melody felt inside, the calmer her expression became. She shook her head and said, "I've already eaten, so no thanks."

Stella immediately put on a wounded look and coquettishly said into the phone, 'Melody said she's already eaten. What a pity. Well, I guess there's no need for you to come over anymore. I'll let you carry on with your work, then."

Melody really did not want to continue listening to their forced and artificial conversation, so she stood up, took the script, and went to find Shaun.

"Shaun."

Shaun was eating from the lunchbox with his left hand and replaying the previous scene on the computer with his right hand. He had always been meticulous. Even scenes that were shot perfectly the first time need to be repeatedly checked in post-production as he strived for something beyond perfection.

He was not surprised to hear Melody's voice. He glanced at her and asked, "Hey, Melody. Have you eaten? If not, you can have some of the food here."

Shaun had ordered some food for the crew, but Melody had no appetite. She waved her hand. "It's okay. I've eaten a little just now. But I'd like to discuss this scene with you."

"I know. The scene at the dock with the foreigner, right? I thought you'd have some questions about it." Shaun hastily took a few bites of his food and set it aside. "Why don't you tell me what you think first? What kind of person is the female lead in your eyes?"
