"We're not trying to jump to conclusions here, but the evidence we have at hand does seem to point toward Melody, so we're seeking her explanation," Shaun added.

Lucas frowned. "How can you expect her to explain something she didn't do?"

Shaun was a little taken aback when he heard that because Melody had said the exact thing.

"But the security footage clearly shows it," the director insisted. "We have no intention of wrongfully accusing anyone of anything, Mister Lucas. Please look at it from our point of view and understand that we are not out to cause trouble for ourselves."

She felt uneasy as a result and felt that other people might equate her swift departure to guilt. When she entered the car, she turned to Lucas and said, "I feel like it isn't right for us to leave like that." In her view, leaving in the middle of a pressing situation should never be a choice.
