However, Ste concealed the fact that she did not get the female lead role in Shaun''s movie to Melody. She had discussed it with Shaun several times before, but he kept saying that the role was not suitable for her, and it remained undecided.


    On that day, she heard that Shaun had found a suitable actress and would sign the contract on the same day. Thus, she came to see who he had chosen instead of her. "Mister Shaun''s movie? Is it ''War Song''?" asked Melody.


    Ste was a bit wary. "How do you know? By the way, you have no connection to the entertainment industry, so what are you doing here?"This content provided by N(o)velDrama].[Org.


    Melody sensed hostility from Ste as soon as their eyes met, so she did not want to say too much. "I just thought I''d try my luck to see if I can get a job here."


    "Oh, I see." Ste sneered inwardly while maintaining a calm expression. "But it''s not like Lucas can''t afford to keep you at home. Why would he allow you toe out to work?"


    She was implying that Lucas was not treating Melody well. Little did she know that it was Melody who chose toe out to work and that Lucas did not want her to do that at all. Nevertheless, Melody did not feel the need to exin anything to Ste.


    Unaware of these details, Ste continued, "Mister Shaun has prepared for this movie for a long time. The script alone went through so many changes until he was happy with it. I believe this movie is bound to be a huge sess!"


    That was why, despite receiving a clear rejection, Ste refused to give up. Shaun was one of the top movie directors in the industry, and each of his films tended to be a major hit, which would no doubt benefit the cast involved.


    Although Ste was popr enough and would receive a constant stream of scripts, she had always been worried about her future. She entered the entertainment industry as a sweet and understanding young girl, achieving fame mainly through severalmercial films where she yed the female lead.


    However, most of the scripts she scored were unlikely to win any awards. As she got older, she could sense that her status was not as unshakeable as before. She feared her fame would decline if things continued this way. By then, regardless of previous fame, she would be like a fading star, unable to survive in the entertainment industry.


    She had to quickly secure a transformative project to maintain her position in the entertainment industry.


    Shaun''s ''War Song'' was the best opportunity for this, but she tried to secure the female lead role several times without sess. This was herst chance as she would truly have no chance if Shaun was to sign the contract with the new actress.


    Melody could see that Ste had a strong interest in the movie and was very knowledgeable about it. However, Shaun did mention that she would y the female lead during their previous phone call. ''Wait. Did Ste also say she''s ying the female lead? Is the movie going to be one of those trendy dual female lead dramas?'' thought Melody.


    She found that quite strange, but there was no definitive answer she coulde up with.


    "Well, Miss Ste, I wish you nothing but sess in this movie!" said Melody.
