The Day I Kissed An Older Man novel Chapter 2142

"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."

Shaun's helpless tone painted him as someone who was unable to think of himself and was merely following everyone's opinion because there was no other choice.

Lucas scoffed. "I don't know much about the industry, but I'm pretty sure you do. This isn't your first day, is it? I've told you that Melody's new. Her focus is on acting, not with whatever rules and regulations that might exist. I entrusted her to you because of that, and I'm rather appalled to see that this is how you 'take care' of her."

The smile on Lucas' face sent chills down Shaun's spine, and Shaun did not even dare to make eye contact.

Lucas took one glance at the footage and could confirm right away that the perpetrator was not Melody. The clothes matched, but the movements were unmistakably different.

Melody remained silent, having sensed Lucas' anger. She was strangely captivated by the feeling of being protected.

"Are you telling me you're clueless as to what's happening?" Lucas lashed out. "These 'accidents' happen all the time on other sets, yet it seems to me that this is the first time you've experienced something like this. I'm sure you're able to see the truth for yourself."
