The Day I Kissed An Older Man

Stella and her assistant brought a lot of coffee, delivering cup by cup to the crew and cast. "Great job, everyone! It's such a hot day, so I'm sure a nice cup of iced coffee will do wonders for you." "Oh Stella, you're so kind and beautiful!"
"As expected of an award-winning actress! Not only is she professional, but she's approachable too."
Everyone, upon receiving the coffee, was very happy. They kept piling praises on Stella.
Some of them turned to look at Melody and said, "Unlike some people who
clearly can't act, yet still insist on taking the female lead role. Sigh! We would've wrapped up filming quickly if it weren't for her." "Yeah! She doesn't deserve the role at all!"
Although their conversation did not explicitly mention the person they were talking about, those in the know knew.
Melody felt a tightness in her chest when she saw how happy they were. She stood up and decided to take a break alone in the car.
"Melody."
Stella grabbed a cup of coffee and walked over to Melody when she saw she was about to leave. She happened to be filming nearby and heard that 'War Song' had started filming as well, so she instructed her assistant to keep an eye on the situation there.
Melody had been struggling with the first scene of the shoot. Upon hearing this news, Stella promptly had her assistant buy some coffee and bring them over. She wanted to make sure Shaun and all the staff knew that the rightful female lead for 'War Song' should be her, not some newcomer like Melody.
"Melody, have some coffee," Stella said with a smile, placing the coffee in front of her. "How does it feel on the first day of filming?"
Melody did not know whether Stella's question was intentional, so she replied casually, "Thank you. It's my first time filming, and I don't have much experience yet..."
"Stella, you have no idea. We've been at it for so long, and we still haven't nailed a single scene." A staff member approached Stella ingratiatingly and glared at Melody.
They were unaware of the relationship between Melody and Lucas, treating her merely as a newcomer who got the role because she was lucky and not because she was talented.
Their shock was first directed at Shaun for choosing a newcomer as the female lead in 'War Song'. However, after what happened during filming, they completely lost the belief that Melody earned the role based on her own merit.
After all, it was inconceivable to choose someone incapable of acting as the female lead for such a crucial project like 'War Song'.
Stella mentally laughed when she heard the crew members' assessments of Melody.

'She managed to make everyone hate her within just half a day. This is too perfect!' thought Stella. 'Looks like I won't have to do much to make m Shaun realize his mistak
his mistake and fire
Melody in favor of casting me!" "Oh,
you guys must be really working hard," said Stella sympathetically.
She then turned to Melody. "But don't blame Melody. It's her first time
acting. She hasn't had any prior
experience, so it's normal to struggle in the beginning." Visit

It was a way of praising her natural talent in acting. Implicitly, Stella was guiding Melody to understand the difficulty of the situation and to consider stepping back.
Despite knowing Stella's intention, Melody could not find a way to refute since reason was not on her side.
"What's your first scene? How about I help you take a look?" Stella looked at her with a seemingly sincere expression as if genuinely wanting to assist.
Before Melody could refuse, a nearby crew member immediately chimed in,
"Wow, Stella, you're truly amazing. Filming your own scenes and still taking the time to guide others? You're truly beautiful inside and out."
