Mr. CEO's Substitute Bride-Chapter 867 - 863: Scolded by Melody Zachary

After thanking the director, Oliver Shaw went back to the rest area to wait for Melody Zachary to return. In fact, he didn’t know that this was already the last scene. Even if he didn’t promise to invest, they would still wrap up.

"Ms. Zachary, come here a moment." After the assistant director called cut, Melody was called over by Director Liu.

"Director, what’s the matter? Were you not satisfied with my performance just now?" Melody walked over with a humble smile and asked, "No, no, Ms. Zachary’s performance was excellent, more realistic than some seasoned actors." Director Liu quickly denied and then pointed to the man waiting in the rest area, "Ms. Zachary, may I ask who that gentleman visiting the set is?"

Glancing in Oliver Shaw’s direction, Melody chuckled, "Ah, just a friend," 𝕗𝕣𝐞𝐞𝘄𝐞𝚋𝚗𝗼𝘃𝗲𝗹.𝚌𝕠𝚖

"Ms. Zachary, you’re too modest," Liu smiled knowingly, "I think that gentleman is probably your admirer,"

Melody opened her lips to deny, but before she could speak, she heard Director Liu continue, "He is very concerned about you, worried that staying up late might be bad for your health. He just came over to greet me and asked to let you go early for rest, and also promised to invest in our production,"

"Invest?" Melody frowned in confusion, gesturing towards Oliver Shaw’s direction, and asked, "He said he wants to invest?"

"Yes, Ms. Zachary, it seems this gentleman cares a lot about you," Director Liu said with a smile, glancing again towards Oliver Shaw. Melody didn’t say anything further. People say money makes people foolish; she thought Oliver Shaw was certainly one of them!

But if he’s willing to invest, then let him. After all, he has so much money.

With a chuckle, Melody said, "Director, I don’t understand anything about investments; you should talk to him yourself."

"Huh? Ms. Zachary, that gentleman mentioned investment for your sake. We can have a late-night snack together later when we wrap up; that way, we can also talk about investment."

With someone offering money, Director Liu wouldn’t let it slip by.

Melody...

Originally didn’t want to get involved, but since the director said so, she couldn’t refuse. She smiled and said, "Okay," and as she turned to leave, she couldn’t help muttering something under her breath.

"Melody, are you tired," Seeing Melody coming over, Oliver Shaw hurried over, holding Melody’s coat to drape it over her shoulders, but she unkindly pulled it over herself, "Not tired, I’m enjoying it!"

"That’s good," Oliver Shaw replied with a smile, walking behind Melody. Having been taken care of by Melody most of his life, it felt strange to suddenly be ignored like this.

"The director said you want to invest?" Melody zipped up her coat as her assistant handed over a thermos cup, "Yes, just spending a bit of money to make you less tired." Oliver spoke truthfully, but Melody did not appreciate it. She paused, about to drink some water, and looked at Oliver, loudly questioning, "Oliver Shaw, what are you to me? If I liked it, my son would help me sort things out!"

"Melody, don’t be so loud, there are so many people watching," Oliver, accustomed to being on a pedestal, found it hard to be scolded in front of so many people. He stepped closer, attempting to hold her hand to soothe her, but didn’t dare because he could see Melody’s obvious rejection.

"Hah!" Melody sneered, turning around and handing the thermos back to her assistant, "You actually care about saving face!" If he cared about saving face, he wouldn’t have done such disgraceful things back then!

"Melody, it was a moment of confusion, please let it go,"

Melody picked up her bag and headed out of the set, "I’m not holding onto it; to tell you the truth, I’ve let it go a long time ago!"

Melody’s lack of resentment should have delighted him. However, hearing her say she let it go, suddenly Oliver Shaw felt a pang of sadness.
