As the shooting was about to start, there was still no sign of Melody even as Shaun hurriedly arrived at the set. "Where's Melody? How cwe haven't seen her yet?" asked Stella casually.
Several nearby crew members also craned their necks, looking around. Normally, Melody would have been sitting on a small stool, going through her script at that time. Thus, the missing sight of her was very strange indeed.

Stella quickly lifted her coffee cup to hide the suppressed laughter bubbling inside her.
"Maybe," echoed Stella. Then, to herself, she thought, 'It'd be great if that woman doesn't show up! It'll be even better if she never comes again. Then I could take over the lead role. There's no one more suitable for this role than me!' However, Melody was indeed only delayed by straffic. When she finally got out of the car, the first thing she saw was the unrestrained smile on Stella's face.
As their eyes met, Stella struggled to control the surprise on her face. 'What is she doing here? Didn't Wendy send a few thugs to mess her up? How could she appear at the set unharmed?' There was no hint of the trauma Melody had gone through. It was completely inconsistent with what Stella thought she was supposed to look like.
Stella felt a bit uneasy, especially with Melody looking at her indifferently.
She forced a smile, picked up a cup of unopened coffee, and walked up to Melody. "Here, Melody. Take this coffee. I had my assistant get it this morning." Melody took the coffee. The guilty look on Stella's face made it hard for Melody to ignore.
"Thank you," Melody said coolly.
The veins on Stella's temples began to bulge.

She crossed her arms in front of her chest, exuding a somewhat condescending air. "Melody, you're late. Did something happen on the way?" Stella inquired.
Melody glanced casually, saying, "There was a minor incident, but it's all resolved now. Why, Miss Stella? Are you surprised to see me?"
Stella's smile stiffened, and she nervously took a sip of her coffee "What are you talking about? You're are the female lead in the movie, so it's only natural for you to be here." She even hesitated to make eye contact with Melody due to all the guilt she was feeling.
"That's not necessarily true. After all, Mister Shaun would choose another female lead if I didn't show up. He' has I ve plenty of people eyeing the role, so I can't help but wonder if you hope forto disappear from this set as well," said Melody icily. Melody seemed to be staring right into Stella's soul, forcing the latter to avoid looking at her.
"I can't speak for what the others are thinking, but I can tell you I've never thought about that! We're friends, and It about t it's not like lack any projects to work on! You can rest assured that I'm not vying for your role!" X
