The Day I Kissed An Older Man

Shaun, with dark circles almost reaching his belly button, walked over, holding a cup of coffee. Early shoots like this were a challenge for everyone in the crew. "You must think it strange. Like, why does it seem that everyone except for you acts as if they don't remember the previous day's incident?" asked Shaun. Melody nodded.

"Maybe they find it hard to process, too. I mean, the leading actress they've always believed in doing something so damaging to her reputation..."

Melody's tone was subdued. After Stella's arrest, one would expect a sense of relief, but she was not particularly cheerful at all. Probably because of what happened with Lucas. However, the production crew should be able to catch up on lost time without Stella's scheming.

Shaun raised an eyebrow, finding Melody quite composed. He had expected her to take advantage of this opportunity to bring Stella down, but Melody had done no such thing. It seemed she was indeed a newcomer, not tainted by the vices of the industry.

Melody had the entire Rivera family behind her back. She could easily use the Riveras' resources to ensure Stella would never have a comeback if she wanted, yet that thought did not even cross her mind. "I thought you'd be happy with Stella's arrest, but it seems like you're not," remarked Shaun.
