Stella's excuse seemed forced and feeble.
Who would randomly and accidentally drop such an outfit into her bag? Not to mention, the bag was clearly closed just a moment ago.
Furthermore, her bag had been under the watchful eye of her assistant, making it impossible for someone to casually toss something into it without her notice.
Stella immediately shifted the blame onto her young assistant who had just come out of the restroom, saying, "Where were you? Didn't I tell you to keep an eye on my bag? Someone put things in my bag, and you didn't notice at all? How can you be so careless? Are your eyes just for show?"
The young assistant looked upset and somewhat aggrieved, wondering what he had done wrong. The bag had clearly not been tampered with.
"Miss Stella, I've been right here watching your bag. I only went to the restroom for two minutes, and no one touched your bag, let alone stuffed that outfit in it! Might there be a possibility that you packed your own clothes into your bag?"
The young assistant voiced what everyone was thinking as that seemed to be the only plausible explanation.
"Did you hear that? It might be Miss Stella in the surveillance footage after all... Goodness, you never know someone's true intentions! I wonder what Melody and Miss Tracy did to offend her so much that she's actively hurting them!"
"What's there to wonder about? She's probably afraid that they'd surpass her and lose her status as the leading actress. Tsk! She's quite the actress. She even pretended to speak up for Miss Melody! In reality, she not only went after Miss Tracy but also framed Miss Melody!"
Just 10 minutes ago, the same group of people condescendingly accused Melody, and Stella was portrayed as a perfect angel in their eyes.
She had just been passionately detailing how bad Melody was, but with the situation changed, she nervously asked Stella, "Miss Stella, how did this outfit end up in your bag? Is someone trying to frame you?"
Her implications were quite clear. She was determined to divert the blame onto Melody. Otherwise, she would not be able to save herself.
Melody coldly observed the crew members.
Previously, they had criticized Melody relentlessly, and then they shifted the blame to Stella without a second thought. They seemed more like an opportunistic pack of sheep than anything else.
"Yes! You're right. Someone must be framing me! Otherwise, how could this outfit suddenly appear in my bag? I didn't put any clothes in my bag when I left home this morning. Think about it, if I were the suspect, why would I put the same outfit into my bag like this?"

The readers' comments on the novel: The Day I Kissed An Older Man
This book is a good book, but it’s too short. I hope it has a part two👍🏾...
This book is getting boring now. I loved Jeremy, Corinne, Sonny and Lucas. The story needs to end. or bring back more of Jeremy, etc....
I haven't skipped any chapter at all. Though the story is good, it keeps going back to base one. I think this has no ending at all and somehow after reading more than 2500 chapters it's kinda tiring already. They have drained all the thrills....
Great writing! I almost cried when Helen hit Melody! So sad! 😭 can’t wait to see how the relationship with her and Lucas develops though. So tired of the repetitive problems with different people....
Yikes my body tenses so much, my moods change as the scenes change. It leaves me wanting to continue reading....
my heart breaks for melody, so many ups and downs, i shed a few tears when lucas walked by melody carrying thalia, and melody stayed quiet while watching them leave. i find myself getting into character as if im one. i dont remember ever feeling like that in any other books. im thankful the 10 chapters/day. waiting for the next 10...
We have updated progress from 7 chapters/day to 10 chapters/day.<3...
i love grandma Beatrice, there needs to me more people like her in the world straight forward and to the point, no beating around the bush and worrying about offending anyone, why pretend to be someone your not....
looking forward to more chapters, The same thing is happening to Melody as what happened to Luna, if Luna was back maybe she would set Lucas straight, can't wait to see how Lucas handles the situations that will arrive. Poor Melody....
ya Lucas pay more attention to Melody lets see what happens waiting for more chapters thanks...
