The Day I Kissed An Older Man novel Chapter 2280

"Do you know there have been rumors in the crew lately about changing the lead role because you won't come back to act?" asked Monica.

Melody's eyes widened. "What are you talking about? When did I say I won't go back? I'm just taking a break now. Once I'm feeling better, I'll naturally return to the set."

She had worried before about Shaun considering replacing her as the female lead.

"Someone gave an ultimatum to Mister Shaun after the last incident. Since then, everyone has been saying you won't come back," Monica explained.

Monica pursed her lips, and Melody immediately guessed who she was talking about. It was Lucas for sure.

Penny felt uneasy about Monica casually speaking ill of Lucas. What if Melody took offense and they ended up falling out over it?

Penny had learned to avoid such thankless situations—'just do not listen, do not interfere, and do not ask.'

Monica, however, did not have as many reservations. She believed Melody would not be the kind of person to be influenced by such rumors. Besides, Monica wanted to continue acting with Melody.

"I still want to work with you, so you'll come back, right? Even if he won't let you, you must fight for it. No one can take your freedom away!" said Monica.

Melody chuckled. "Don't worry. I will go back once I've rested enough. By the way, did Mister Shaun say anything about what they're going to do with Tracy's role?"

At that moment, Lucas returned with a bunch of drinks, indicating that he had indeed gone out for a while.

Monica felt a bit guilty and avoided making eye contact with him, especially after just encouraging Melody to return to filming. She became downright afraid after Lucas came in.

"Alright, you should rest now. Penny and I have some matters to attend to back at the set," said Monica, standing up as soon as Lucas entered.

Lucas did not mind the presence of visitors. He even seemed pleased that someone had come to visit Melody. "Feel free to come again when you have time."

His somewhat stern tone startled Monica. She did not even dare to look back. Instead, she grabbed Penny and hurried away, afraid that Lucas might follow them out.
