The Day I Kissed An Older Man

Everyone was shooting at the same film studio. Whenever Stella-who claimed to
be good friends with Melody-was free, she and her assistant would bring a bunch of things over and ask everyone to take good care of Melody.
The same routine was happening on that particular day.
"Oh my, isn't Mintz a cafe only found in Chamery? Miss Stella actually brought us coffee from so far away?"
"It's just Mintz. I'm sure the manager will deliver the food and drinks to Miss Stella if she wants it," joked someone from the crowd.
Stella walked up to Melody. She then leaned against her shoulder affectionately and smiled.
"Well... I've known the manager since our early years abroad. He sent it to me as an exception because he's my friend. If you have time, please go support Mintz. Consider it as supporting my friend!" Stella portrayed herself as approachable.
"Don't worry, Miss Stella. I'll definitely visit Mintz the next time I'm in Chamery!"
"Pfft, even the A-list celebrities have to wait in line to get into Mintz. What makes you think you can get in? Miss Stella is just being polite to us! Her friends don't need us, mere working folks, to support them!" At this point, Stella gave a subtle signal with her eyes, instructing her assistant to take the people downstairs to have coffee and desserts.
This made Melody feel awkward. It was as if there was some unspoken social rule she was not aware of. While Stella had never shown the kind of look that seemed to want to devour her, her feigned friendliness only made Melody more uncomfortable.
Stella pretended to be very close to her-leaning on Melody's shoulder-and joined in looking back at the shots they had just taken.
"Shaun, no one bullied Melody today, right?"
Shaun, being astute, had long realized that the friendship between the two was not as genuine as Stella made it out to be. Thus, he simply asked Melody to sit on the other side so as not to feel uncomfortable being leaned on by Stella.
"Melody is in the zone now, acing every scene. Who would dare to bully her?"
The corners of Stella's lips immediately turned down when she heard that. "Is that so? You didn't go easy on Melody just because she's a newcomer, did you? Melody doesn't need any special treatment from you, you know..."
Melody could not help but glance at Stella, wondering what she meant. Was she implying that Melody's ability was so low that Shaun had to lower his standards?
Stella shrugged, still wearing that annoyingly fake smile on her face.
Shaun's expression suddenly turned serious. Regardless of any grievances
between them, they should not be brought into his work.
"Stella, maybe you've been in too many mediocre productions? Most directors wouldn't casually treat their own work as you implied."
Stella's face stiffened, and her smile almost slipped off.

'Who does he think he is? How dare he mock my work to protect Melady? Does he think he can disrespect me just because he has some skills? Hmph!' thought Stella. Visit bignovels.com to read the latest chapter of this novel
At that moment, Stella's assistant stepped in to ease the awkwardness and promptly led her to the other side where the crew members were.
"Miss Stella, the desserts from Mintz are really delicious. Thank you for thinking of us!"

Stella immediately replied with a smile, "I'm glad you like them. To cater to more people's tastes, Khad my friend prepare the classic ones. Actually, there are a few special ones too, but since this is all of your first time trying them, I thought it's safer to let everyone try the fail-safe flavors!" Visit bignovels.com to

She spread her hands, and the slightly regretful expression made the crew
members feel that she was a kind-hearted person.
"Ah! You're so beautiful and kind-hearted, Miss Stella. We're so glad we get to
work with you in the same film studio!"
The crew members kept praising Stella.

Stella nodded happily. "I'm also very
happy to work with everyone. But com
please take good care of Melody. I apologize in advance if she makes
any mistakes. Please forgive her and be more understanding of her for my sake." Visit bignovels.com to read the latest chapter of this novel
