The Day I Kissed An Older Man novel Chapter 2181

Cedric took out his phone and scrolled through the contacts. "I have good relationships with the parents of several producers and directors. I can arrange a gathering if you want to meet them."

Melody was pleasantly surprised. She knew the significance of the people in Cedric's contacts. For young actresses like her, knowing just one of them could pave the way for big opportunities.

However, she was already working on a film, and she hoped to earn her next role through her efforts.

"Thanks, Grandpa, but it's not necessary. I plan to fight for the roles I want myself," said Melody confidently.

Beatrice, pleased with Melody's determination, said, "That's my girl. But remember: you can find us whenever you need help."

Certainly, the Riveras would stand by Melody. The recent incidents on the film set were a wake-up call to them.

…

[Melody, are you okay? I heard there were some incidents with your film crew recently. I hope it hasn't affected you.]

Melody checked her phone and saw that there was a message from Sherman.

"Grandma, please excuse me for a moment. I need to reply to a friend's message." Melody informed Beatrice politely before attending to her phone.

Beatrice nodded with a smile. "Go ahead. It's good for young people to spend time with each other."

…

[How did you hear about the recent incidents in my film crew?] Melody replied.

She and Sherman had always had an open communication style, both being straightforward individuals. Thus, she found it relaxing to talk to him.

Sherman explained, [An old classmate of mine told me. Don't you know that every move of Shaun's crew is under public scrutiny? Not to mention, you're an actress, so it's not like everything about you is a big secret. There are thousands of news of you online.]

Melody was genuinely surprised to learn about that. She did not really pay much attention to the online chatter.

[Does news spread so quickly online? Did you suspect that it was me after you found out what happened?] Melody playfully sent this message.

After all, Sherman probably would not have messaged her if he thought she was behind it.

[What? I can't believe you're questioning my trust in you. There's no way you would do something like that! Others might not know, but I do. You're the kind of person who is only concerned about doing her job well. After work, you vanish from the set.]

[Even someone as introverted as me finds that scary! That's your true character! Of course, people who don't know you might misunderstand, but you don't need to pay attention to those people. They're not important!]

Melody chuckled and replied to Sherman's messages.

…

Beatrice glanced at her curiously, wondering what they were talking about.

"What do you think they're talking about to make her so happy?" she asked Cedric—who was about to doze off—with a nudge.

"Didn't you just say that young people should spend more time with each other? Well, isn't Melody doing just that?" retorted Cedric.

"Tsk, I meant for Melody and Lucas to spend more time together! Look at them, one's upstairs, the other's downstairs. One is working, and the other is texting. They're not even together. How can their relationship progress like this?"

Beatrice could not help but worry, especially seeing Melody happily texting away to someone else.
