"You''re not angry? Most people would be upset in this situation," Shaun remarked, surprised that Melody did not seem bothered.


    "What''s there to be angry about? I''m not the director or the writer of this movie. The fate of my screen time has always been in your hands, Mister Shaun.


    "While it''s true I''ll be getting less screen time, it''s not like you''re firing me. If anything, I don''t get why Tracy would make a demand like this. What benefit does it bring her? If I were her, I''d make you rece me."


    Shaun chuckled awkwardly, not expecting Melody to have a knack for dry humor.


    "All right, since you don''t mind, let''s turn the page on this matter for now. We''ll wait until she releases a video to rify things, and that''ll be the end of it," he said.


    Melody nodded, hoping to resume filming as soon as possible.


    Meanwhile, Lucas-who was in Molomia-had finallye across the news. His immediate reaction was to want to fly back to help Melody resolve the mess.


    ''Shaun''s production team seems to be having a string of bad luck. Just as they bid farewell to one leading actress, they weed another, albeit in a different sense of the word.''


    After some thought, considering they were still giving each other the silent treatment before he left, Lucas did not want to risk getting a rebuff from her. Thus, he took the safer route of sending Melody a message, [What happened in your production team this time?]


    Melody had set a special alert for Lucas'' messages, so as soon as she heard the distinctive sound, she knew it was from him. It was rare for him to message her, yet Melody decided not to reply after reading his message.


    Each reply meant dependency, a desire for Lucas to be by her side. However, he was not someone she could long for, considering the many unresolved issues between them.


    Melody thought for a moment and decided to put down her phone. She stood by her decision not to reply to him, at least at the time being.


    Lucas had not expected that he would still receive no reply from her after ten minutes had passed.


    An hour passed, and there was still no activity in Melody''s chat box.


    After filming for the entire afternoon, Melody realized that she had forgotten all about Lucas'' message after opening up her chat app again.


    There used to be a time when Melody could not wait to reply to every message from Lucas instantly. However, when she actually did not respond to his messages, she realized that it was not a big deal after all.


    Lucas did not follow up with her either, which made her feel even more at ease. Only Melody knew in her heart Lucas probably was not even willing to send her messages anymore. After all, he had returned to the side of the woman he cared about the most. Why would he still care about her?


    "Miss Melody, it''s time for you to prepare for the next scene again!" a timid-looking girl came to inform her, appearing a bit hesitant.


    Melody collected her thoughts, realizing that since she had already decided to move forward, there was no need to dwell on it any longer.All content is ? N0velDrama.Org.


    "Okay, I''ming."


    Melody was about to get up, but she noticed the girl did not leave.


    "What''s wrong? Is there something else?"
