NovelEnglish"We're not trying to jump to conclusions here, but the evidence we have at hand does seem to point toward Melody, so we're seeking her explanation," Shaun added.
Lucas frowned. "How can you expect her to explain something she didn't do?" Search The Findwebsite on Gøøgle to access chapters of early and in the highest quality.

"But the security footage clearly shows it," the director insisted. "We have no intention of wrongfully accusing anyone of anything, Mister Lucas. Please look at it from our point of view and understand that we are not out to cause trouble for ourselves." Shaun's helpless tone painted him as someone who was unable to think of himself and was merely following everyone's opinion because there was no other choice.
Lucas scoffed. "I don't know much about the industry, but I'm pretty sure you do. This isn't your first day, is it? I've told you that Melody's new. Her focus is on acting, not with whatever rules and regulations that might exist. I entrusted her to you because of that, and I'm rather appalled to see that this is how you 'take care' of her." The smile on Lucas' face sent chills down Shaun's spine, and Shaun did not even dare to make eye contact. Lucas took one glance at the footage and could confirm right away that the perpetrator was not Melody. The clothes matched, but the movements were unmistakably different.
Melody remained silent, having sensed Lucas' anger. She was strangely captivated by the feeling of being protected.
"Are you tellingyou're clueless as to what's happening?" Lucas lashed out. "These 'accidents' happen all the ton other sets, yet it seems tothat this is the first tyou've experienced something like this. I'm sure you're able to see the truth for yourself." Shaun shied away from looking at Lucas after hearing his outburst. "It's my fault," he admitted. "The filming has been progressing so smoothly that I completely forgot about the backstabbing and scheming within every crew. Melody must've been framed!" As a director, Shaun had to juggle between capturing smooth filming and crew dynamics. This was about safeguarding his team. His job was not merely to direct.
His crew sets had an unspoken rule, which was never to sabotage another crew member. Clashes between personalities were the norm and he did not interfere in such unless it festered into a problem that affected everyone.

Melody glanced back at the director and then at Lucas, wondering if it was okay for her to leave that abruptly. She felt uneasy as a result and felt that other people might equate her swift departure to guilt. When she entered the car, she turned to Lucas and said, "I feel like it isn't right for us to leave like that." In her view, leaving in the middle of a pressing situation should never be a choice. Neither did she know that leaving could be a means of solving a problem.
Lucas chuckled with amusement when he saw her anxious expression. "Did you do it?"
Melody frowned and shook her head.
"Of course not! I wasn't even on set this morning!
"Then why are you so anxious?" he said teasingly. "You don't have tbn send them a formal notice to inform En them you're on lunch break, do you?"
Lucas' logic made ssense, so Melody settled backing her seat and put on her seatbelt. X
