The Day I Kissed An Older Man

Melody nodded. "My bag has been here all along. Anyone can come in here, and someone might've put this eyeshadow palette in my bag. I was with Mister Shaun. He was giving me some pointers about acting, and I haven't come back at all."
"Are you suggesting that someone is framing you?" The makeup artist dismissed her explanation and eyed her in disdain. "One might think you've watched too many dramas! Not everyone is out to get you, you know? Just who do you think you are?"
Melody felt that she could not explain things clearly to the makeup artist. The makeup artist refused to listen.
"Just think about it calmly. Would I put the eyeshadow palette in my own bag if I wanted to steal it?"
"That's enough. I'm pretty sure Melody didn't steal the eyeshadow palette. Anyway, you've found it, so hurry up and do her makeup," said Shaun.
Shaun knew Melody was Lucas' wife, even though Lucas had told him to keep it a secret. He could only try to downplay the situation as much as possible.
The makeup artist, feeling even more upset with Shaun's favoritism toward Melody, decided to ask bluntly, "Mister Shaun, what exactly is your relationship with Melody?"
Shaun was taken aback by the question. "What do you mean? My relationship with Melody is purely a professional working relationship. What else could it be?"
"Is it really? Who'd believe that?" The makeup artist sneered. "She's a newcomer, inexperienced and unprofessional. Just how did she get the female lead role in such a big project on her first acting gig?"
In fact, all the crew members had been wondering that ever since Melody was chosen for the role. After all, even Stella had tried for the female lead role and failed. The role ended up going to a newcomer with no experience, which seemed odd to everyone.
However, no one dared to voice their concerns since Shaun himself chose Melody.
At that moment, all the crew members started whispering amongst themselves since the makeup artist had spoken up. Melody looked around to see everyone looking at her strangely. Perhaps, in their eyes, Melody had lost her clean image. To them, she was a woman who obtained this role through illegitimate means.
Witnessing this scene, Stella-who had been playing the role of an onlooker- smiled triumphantly. Originally, she just wanted everyone to think of Melody as a thief, to make them dislike her. She did not expect the makeup artist would ask what the others did not with just a little pressure exerted on her.
'Now, everyone thinks Melody is in an improper relationship with Mister Shaun! Let's see how she can turn this around,' thought Stella.

Melody stood still, enduring the scrutiny of everyone, and remained silent for a long time before saying, "I didn't take your eyeshadow palette! and thave no improper relationship with Mister Shaun." "I've said it many times. Melody earned her role through her own efforts. The entire casting process was known to the staff from the company and even my assistant's assistant.

"If that's the case, then the staff from the company and your assistant are essentially your subordinates. O M There's a chance they might be lying for fear of crossing you!" said the makeup artist with a sneer. "Of course they'd choose to help you to cover it up!"
