Chapter 334

Across the road was a newly built high school that had yet to be put into use. Due to the good environment, many production teams who were filming school dramas would come here to film.

Today was no exception. A group of crew members was walking out. One of the girls stood out in the crowd because of her good looks.

The commotion just now was caused by the female artist’s fans.

The fans waited at the door for a long time. When they finally saw their goddess, they shouted at the top of their lungs.

Melody recognized the female artist at a glance.

It was Yana.

The reason why she had an impression of Yana was because Yana was the only woman who had a scandal with Ken in her previous life.

It was not difficult to see that Yana was already very popular.

But this had nothing to do with Melody.

Melody retracted her gaze expressionlessly and walked to the side of the road to hail a taxi.

But at this moment, she suddenly saw a familiar figure appear in the fan group from the corner of her eye.

Wasn’t that the Virgin Mary, oh no, Jonathan, who had followed them to the market and was discovered?

The next second, her phone rang.

It was an unknown number.

She pressed the answer button and heard the other party introduce himself. “Miss Fox, I’m one of Mr. Swanson’s subordinates. The person you asked us to follow is now at the entrance of Paven Senior High School…”

Before Melody could speak, the other party asked in surprise, “Why are you opposite Paven Senior High School?”

Melody looked in a direction based on her intuition and happened to meet the subordinate’s gaze.

She turned to look at Jonathan in the crowd. In order to avoid being discovered, she found a street lamp to block herself. Then, she held her phone tightly and said, “I happen to be dealing with something nearby. Continue to keep an eye on him. Remember not to be discovered by him.”

“Yes,” said the subordinate.

Melody hung up and looked up at the entrance of Paven Senior High School again.

Yana smiled and waved to her fans before bowing and getting into the van.

At the same time, Jonathan also got into the van under the cover of his assistants.

Melody thought, ‘Could it be that Yana asked Jonathan to keep an eye on me?

“That shouldn’t be the case…

‘I don’t know Yana at all. Why did she send a detective to follow me?’

As she was thinking, Melody saw another familiar figure.

It was Zara.

Compared to Yana, the number of Zara’s fans who came to visit was much fewer. However, it could be seen that the relationship between the artists and their fans was very good.

Zara chatted with her fans under the bright sun for a long time before waving goodbye and getting ready to get into the car.

Melody hesitated for a moment before calling Zara.

Zara picked up almost instantly. “Melody?”

“It’s me.” Melody looked across the road at Zara and said, “I’m across from you.”

The next second, Zara looked at Melody and waved at her in surprise.

Melody nodded slightly. She held her phone and asked, “Are you off work? Do you have time to have a cup of coffee with me?”

“Yes, yes, of course! I just finished work. There are too many people here. Can you wait for me at the intersection ahead?” Zara asked.

Melody answered, “Okay.”

As Melody spoke, her gaze was constantly scrutinizing the expression on Zara’s face.

However, Zara’s expression was natural and she did not show any signs of nervousness or panic. Melody confirmed her guess. ‘Jonathan is definitely not sent by Zara’

She slowly walked to the intersection and saw Zara’s van indeed.

As soon as Melody walked over, Zara jumped out of the car and said happily, “Melody! Why are you here?”

Melody saw that there was a cafe nearby. Due to Zara’s status as an artist, she said, “Let’s talk inside.”

Zara cheered, “Good!”

Ten minutes later, the two of them each held a cup of coffee and sat opposite each other.

Melody was the first to speak, “Long time no see. How have you been?”

“Thanks to you.” Zara said sincerely, “After that incident, I attracted a large number of fans who sympathized with me. Now my film remuneration has tripled at least, and I’ve received many invitations. I’ve gotten quite a few endorsements.

“It’s all thanks to you. I was thinking of meeting you after I finished my work, but I didn’t have the time. Fortunately, I ended work early today because of Yana.”

Melody’s eyes darkened as she asked, “Are you on the same crew as Yana now?”

Zara sighed and said with a complicated expression, “Yes, this drama is a big-budget movie. It’s about zombies and campus. It’s a script with two female leads. If it weren’t for what happened a while ago, I wouldn’t have gotten such good resources.”

Melody nodded and asked, “Then why are you sighing?”

Zara sighed again and said without hiding anything, “She and I are both from Swanson Universal Entertainment, but she’s the main promoter of the company. This movie was bought at a high price for her. But she’s not easy to get along with…

“We ended work early today because she felt that the weather was too hot and didn’t want to film anymore, so she left directly. Today’s scenes are all group scenes. If she wasn’t around, we wouldn’t be able to film at all.”

Melody understood. No wonder the production team had ended work at this time.

“Have you had any conflicts with Yana?” Melody asked.

Zara hesitated for a moment and said, “You hit the nail on the head, I’ve been thinking about this issue recently. I didn’t offend her in any way, but since joining the crew, she’s been targeting me every now and then. Even today, she insulted me before we wrapped up, but to ensure a smooth shoot, I didn’t say anything and let her be. I didn’t expect that we still couldn’t finish shooting today’s scenes in the end.”

Melody raised her eyebrows and asked, “Is she related to Ken?”

Zara thought for a moment and said, “I don’t think so. The company promotes her because her family is well-off, and her father is the owner of a listed company. However,

there’s one thing… Like me, she also thinks Mr. Swanson is very handsome.”

At this point, Zara’s cheeks turned slightly red, revealing the shyness of a young girl.

However, she then lowered her head in inferiority and said, “But after what happened last time, I’ve seen it clearly. A person like Mr. Swanson is not someone a person like me can dream of.”

Melody could not help but encourage her. “What do you mean by people like you? You’re very good. Don’t always deny yourself.”

“Thank you, Melody…” Zara’s eyes were slightly red as if she was touched by Melody.

Melody said, “Alright, let’s not talk about those unhappy things. If I’m free tomorrow, I’ll come to the set to accompany you.”

“Really?” Zara’s eyes instantly lit up as she said happily, “I’m really happy if you can come!”

Melody smiled and confirmed the time with Zara.

The two of them chatted about the gossip in the industry until Zara’s agent urged her to return to the company for a script meeting. Only then did their meeting end.

“Melody, see you tomorrow!” Zara waved her hand. There was no scheming in her eyes.

Melody also waved at Zara. She only retracted her gaze when she saw Zara’s car disappear into the traffic.

At the same time, the smile on her face faded.

After this afternoon’s long conversation, she clearly realized that Zara was really a girl without any schemes.

Why would such a girl send a private detective to follow her?

The problem was still with Yana.

Melody hailed a cab and started searching for Yana’s information.

From her profile, Yana’s life had been very smooth. She had been raised in a privileged environment since childhood, and it didn’t take much effort for her to become popular in

the entertainment industry. It was all thanks to her father’s heavy investment.

After all, in terms of looks, Yana was far inferior to Zara. However, her resources were countless times better than Zara’s.

However, Zara was wrong about one thing.
