The Day I Kissed An Older Man

Before Shaun could finish, the producer stopped him from pissing off an already enraged Lucas. They had already failed to identify the suspect after Melody faced an incident on set, and Shaun's remarks seemed to insinuate to Lucas not to act recklessly with the crew.
Lucas glanced coldly at them, prompting both of them to lower their heads.
"Are you trying to give me a lecture on how I should handle my affairs?"
"No! That's not what he meant. Mister Lucas. He is just concerned about the movie and doesn't really understand the intricacies of the situation. This is our problem, though. Please don't hesitate to inform us if you need anything."
Lucas remained silent as he contemplated how best to compel the suspect to come forward. While many in the crew had clashed with Melody, he knew her personality could not have been able to provoke such opposition. Moreover, the disputes seemed trivial, yet the culprit was escalating it to a point where Melody's life was endangered.
Fame and infamy hung in the balance within the crew. The question that should be posed in such a situation was to identify who would stand to gain the most by harming Melody. Normal staff members would not profit from that, as they relied on having a stable team for their wages. That left only supporting roles, and Lucas's attention was soon shifted to the second female lead.
"Who is the second female lead in your crew, and how is her relationship to Melody?" Lucas tapped his fingers on the table and asked. To his surprise, the director and producer looked disgusted at the mention of the second female lead.
Lucas frowned. "Is she not here?"
"She's here, but she's become public enemy number one for the entire crew. She hasn't had any conflict with Melody, but she seemed to loathe everyone and received the same treatment in return. The rumors regarding bullying on set were all her fabrications."
"Why are you only sharing this critical information now?" Lucas asked, visibly irritated.
"She has already achieved her goals when she brought negative publicity to our crew, and we don't think she will resort to harming Melody. It's too risky, and she gains nothing from it..." came the explanation. Lucas found their reasoning ridiculous. Just because she had obtained the effect that she wanted did not mean that she would automatically refrain from harming other people. Nothing could ever be enough fo those people.
"Have you considered she might not be satisfied with what she has achieved and wants more? There will always be a next time. She might resort to harming the female lead simply because she hasn't gotten enough."
Lucas's words prompted a sudden realization. They had foolishly excluded Tracy and clung to their ridiculous rationale.
"Oh, yeah. After what happened to Melody yesterday, she tried to rally everyone on the crew to stand with her. One of our newbies exposed her, and I can see why it would be suspicious now."
Lucas had nothing more to say to them and instructed them to recount the events from the previous day. At the end of it, he remarked, "Tch, it looks like she's guiltier than the two of you," Lucas remarked, ending the conversation.

Their lack of proactiveness in getting to the bottom of what happened to Melody was a damning display of the way they carried themselves. They deserved the disdainful expression that Lucas gave them. "Uh... It slipped our mind," Shaun said. Visit bignovels.com to read the latest chapter of this novel
