'Lucas probably didn't mean what he said earlier! It's ridiculous. He might as well just give it tostraight if he didn't believe me! At least I wouldn't have held out hope... Why did he have to be so cruel? Why did he choose to stand firmly by another woman's side when I needed him the most?' thought Melody.
She clenched her fists, desperately trying to control her emotions.
"Don't bother with her. She'll naturally get punished if she's wrong. It's not worth it to shed tears for someone like her," said Lucas without even sparing Melody a glance.

Yet, at that moment, he had changed his tune, making it seem like he had nothing to do with her.
Melody let out a long breath before smiling self-deprecatingly at how naive she had been. She had been too quick to take Lucas' words to heart. Little did she know that those words were just spoken in passing, meant to comfort a woman in distress.
'If he can comfortlike that yesterday, then he can comfort another woman the sway today. Oh Melody, what a fool you are! You're the only one who has taken up this role seriously. You better wake up or else you're doomed!' thought Melody to herself.
The others also began to quietly discuss when they saw what happened, feeling that Melody was done for since even Lucas was not supporting her.
"I've said it before: Just by looking at them, Mister Lucas and our Miss Stella are the perfect match. Melody doesn't even cclose to Miss Stella! She has no qualifications or a nice family background. The Riveras are totally out of her league! Not all Cinderellas can marry a prince!" Although Melody was sad to hear that, she did not disagree; what they said had struth to it. After all, they were living in reality. It was her fault for taking things too seriously.
Before Lucas arrived, Melody still had sstrength in her to hold her ground. However, him siding with Stella was the final straw that broke Melody. S~Earch the FindNøvelwebsite on Gøøgle to access chapters of early and in the highest quality.
She did not want to fight anymore, no matter what the others said about her. What would be the point, after all? "Tsk, I've been waiting for her to mess up since the day she joined the crew. Finally, my patience paid off." The woman with glasses pushed up her glasses and looked extremely proud.

Others could not help but ask her, "How did you know her true colors? At first, I just thought she was albit cold and aloof. But she is the lead, so it's understandable that she wouldn't interact with us ordinary workers much. In any case, she didn't seem like a bad person."
"Alas, you understand nothing about knowing people's true colors." The woman with glasses rolled her eyes, and becoming the center of attention around her only fueled her excitement. "She won't even buy us a cup of coffee! Isn't that enough proof of how stingy she is?" "But that's understandable. After all, she's just a newcomer in the industry..." whispered someone.
The woman with glasses overheard and immediately retorted loudly, "Miss Stella treated all of us here to a big feast during her first shooting!", ouring her At that twasn't she just a newcomer too? Yes, it's not about treating us, but about Melody's attitude. She has no intention of interacting with us ordinary workers. Isn't it because she thinks we're beneath her?" Her voice grew louder, and even Lucas glared at her.
