Sweet Wife So Charming: CEO: Hold Back Your Heart-Chapter 381: Heartache

"Ugh..."

It was Melody. Moira Young was somewhat surprised, not expecting to see her here.

At that moment, the director came over and called the actors together, cleared his throat: "Let me introduce you, this is Melody, who just joined our film crew. She will be taking the role of the second female lead from now on."

The director’s facial expression was a bit unnatural, and it was clear that this sentence made many people suspicious.

The role of the second female lead isn’t so easy to land. There’s only one possibility, which is that this woman definitely wasn’t chosen through auditions.

"Well, her cousin is Mango Pudding, you all should know her." The director said this just to make everyone accept the decision.

After all, there was no one in the room who didn’t know Mango Pudding, a famous screenwriter, also a director and producer.

This woman is quite the ideal figure for all women, a typical strong woman.

Sure enough, once he said this, those who were gossiping earlier stopped talking.

If Mango Pudding broke the rules to bring her in, her acting must be quite good.

Not to mention that Mango Pudding is known for her clear separation between work and personal matters; even with family, if your acting isn’t good, you can’t join.

Only then did the director continue: "Alright, let’s break up and continue with the shoot. Melody, if you have any questions, just speak up."

Moira looked at her petite figure, slowly recalling. Got to say, she’s really changed a lot.

Perhaps with the nourishment of love, the Melody before her seemed more spirited than before, adorable with a mix of feminine charm especially captivating.

She really likes Melody, and since Melody is Carter Porter’s girlfriend, she decided she’ll look out for this little girl from today on in the crew.

Even though Melody has a baby face, she’s actually not younger than Moira, even a few months older.

Moira originally wanted to greet her, but Melody spoke first: "Moira, it’s really you! I thought I mistook someone else, what are you doing here?"

Not stopping at that, she directly walked to Moira’s side, grabbed Moira’s hand, her voice a bit excited: "I wonder if you still remember me? We haven’t seen each other in quite some time."

"You must be joking, how could I forget my dear Mimi who took me in, right? By the way, how come you are here?" Moira lightly nodded, now that Melody had changed her hairstyle, even her hair was dyed.

"Didn’t think you’d be here. When my cousin asked me to come, I hesitated for quite a while." After finishing those words, she directly hugged Moira.

Melody’s hug nearly suffocated Moira, but she eventually broke free from Melody’s embrace.

Melody felt like she was seeing a family member when she saw Moira in the crew, and began to chatter: "You know? I wasn’t planning to come at first. Now that you’re here, I won’t leave."

"Aren’t you studying? How did you get here?" Moira asked.

Melody pondered for a while before answering: "I find studying really difficult, well, at least for me it is. Eventually, I didn’t study much and ended up participating in a small script selection."

Moira raised her eyebrows and settled onto a sofa.

"I didn’t expect to enter the entertainment industry so quickly; I took quite some time to adjust." After saying that, Melody casually picked up a piece of fruit from the table and started eating.

Although all the fruits here were washed, Melody’s carefree manner made Moira a bit uncomfortable.

Melody even offered her a fruit, but Moira declined, shaking her head.

The role Moira was playing was in a fragile state, so she couldn’t eat too much, as the director had specifically instructed.

"Though I got in through connections, I’ve made quite an effort myself." After finishing, she didn’t forget to sum up this statement for herself.

Upon hearing this, Moira’s earlier feeling of resistance vanished, recalling her own entry into the industry.

Looking at Melody’s joyful smile, there was a slight resemblance to her past self, she couldn’t help but laugh: "Rest assured, if you encounter any difficulty, just come to me and I’ll definitely help as much as I can."

Melody winked at her and went over to hug her arm: "Absolutely, I stayed here because of you."

With such boldness, only Melody could pull it off. Although Moira felt a bit helpless, her face still showed affection.

Though Melody’s role is the second female lead, it requires basic skills no less than Moira’s.

Even though she managed to get in, she was merely lucky enough to enter the entertainment circle before.

To develop further, she will definitely face exclusion from others.

Sure enough, her performance during the morning shoot wasn’t that great, though Moira could tell she tried her best.

Successfully passed takes were very few, and Melody seemed somewhat disheartened.

With a drooping face, she approached Moira, unable to help complaining: "Do you think I really don’t have a talent for acting? Otherwise, how could everything turn out so badly?"

Moira, however, comforted her attentively, patting her back, even offering her favorite fruit: "What are you talking about? You definitely have talent in this area, or how else would you get in?"

Though she says this, Moira also felt Melody’s acting wasn’t exceptional and Marcus Mercer, the director, values acting highly and is famously strict with actors.

Her acting...

Moira sighed inwardly.

Although it was subpar, it was still salvageable.

"Don’t worry, you haven’t been here long; adaptation is necessary." Shortly after saying this, it was Moira’s turn to perform, and she reminded Melody, "You must watch how I do it."

After drinking some hot water, Melody promptly went over to watch Moira, her acting skills were superb, truly unparalleled by ordinary people.

Back then, Aiden Webb personally taught Moira, with a film industry king guiding her, how could her acting not be good?

After watching Moira’s performance, Melody increasingly felt inadequate, more downcast than before.

After the shoot, Moira came down but didn’t see Melody anywhere, furrowing her brow, her face lightly clouded.

This girl isn’t thinking negatively after a few critiques, is she?

She looked around and finally noticed her sitting on the sofa not far from the entrance, sighed deeply with relief, took a sip of water then slowly walked toward her: "Why are you sitting here alone? Didn’t I say to wait for me?"

"Don’t mention it, after watching your performance, I feel worse about myself. Seems I’m only suited for staying at home." She was almost on the verge of tears, which made Moira’s heart ache.
