Nathan smiled, accepting the cutleries Melody handed him. It was exactly this kind of thoughtful gesture that made him appreciate her even more. To him, it was not necessary for them to develop a romantic relationship as it would be more comfortable to have her as a friend.
"Miss Melody, online traffic is king right now. I think it'll be beneficial to the movie if we can generate some attention by pretending we're together," said Nathan.
Melody frowned slightly. She understood where Nathan was coming from, but…
"What you're saying makes sense, but if we gather too much attention, it might bring some negative impact to the movie itself."
Despite being relatively new to the entertainment industry, Melody understood some of the rules of the trade after having experienced numerous setbacks.
Some private interactions were unavoidable since the two of them played a couple in the film. After all, the aim was to create a film that was both well-received and commercially successful.
However, if fans became too immersed in shipping the on-screen couple, it might pose challenges in the later stages.
Melody hoped that the audience who supported her could focus on the storyline of the film itself. Thus, if the film ended up deviating from its original direction in an attempt to win over a certain portion of the audience, it would be a case of losing more than gaining.
"Mm..." Nathan nodded. "I understand your concerns, Miss Melody. But Mister Shaun hasn't said anything about it, right? I'm pretty sure he'd be the first to put a stop to it if he thought it would be bad for the movie. This movie embodies a lot of Shaun's efforts, and he more than anyone wants to see the success of it."
Melody nodded. "You're right. Maybe I'm overthinking the whole thing."
While Melody was becoming familiar with the acting aspect, the entertainment industry was still relatively new to her, and the same applied to Nathan. Therefore, when there were uncertainties or matters they did not understand, they were inclined to discuss them with each other to avoid any mistakes.
"Don't worry too much. Let's wait and see how things unfold. If there are any developments online, we can discuss them later. We'll cross the bridge when we come to it," reassured Nathan.
[Not only do they hang out with each other on set, but even after work. Ah, I feel so happy.]
There were plenty of fans shipping them, and most of them were ecstatic that Melody and Nathan were providing them with so much sweetness.
However, there were a few of Nathan's fangirls leaving snarky comments.
[My my, this woman is really 'resourceful', isn't she? She must have used some underhanded tactic to get Shaun, and now she's trying to seduce Nathan!]
Melody's fans spotted this comment and immediately countered, [How dare you accuse my idol like that? It's not like Nathan is any better!]

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...
