Chapter 1948 A woman in a light purple dress stood behind them with a confused expression. "What brings you here, Lucas?" "Nothing in particular," Lucas replied curtly, releasing Melody.

The woman approached Melody and sized up the latter with a smile. "That dress is a one-of-a-kind masterpiece. I was told it had been reserved when I tried to order one. Who would've thought that I'd see it on someone here." Melody knew that Lucas had chosen an expensive dress, but she did not think that it would be that limited. "I'm just borrowing it for the evening," she explained.

The woman smiled faintly. "I see." Something in the woman's natural-sounding tone seemed to make Melody a little uneasy. There was a subtle hostility that Melody could not quite place her finger on. They had never met before, so that beckoned the question of why the woman was showing such animosity toward her. A sudden thought occurred to her, and she glanced at Lucas with a brewing suspicion that he was the reason.

"Lucas," the woman shifted her attention back to Lucas. "Grey suits complement your best features. Why are you wearing black today?" The familiarity in how she addressed him hinted that they had known each other for quite stime. Melody observed their unspoken rapport with curiosity as she wondered what history those two had.

"Black is more formal," Lucas replied succinctly. It was clear from his tone that he felt differently toward that woman.

As Melody studied the elegantly dressed woman, something in her memory seemed to click. That woman seemed to have been someone whom she had seen on the big screen before. Then, it hit her.

"Wait a minute! You're the actress, Stella Lybeck!" "Yes," Stella confirmed with a more genuine smile. "Today's my birthday celebration, and I'm so glad you could make it." It turned out that the extravagant event was Stella's birthday party which Lucas had been invited to celebrate. Melody did not know that was the case and felt a little awkward. After all, she was a guest by association with Lucas.

"You don't seem very familiar. Which family are you from?" Stella wasm didrot know implying that, she did not Melody at all and was curious why a stranger would be at her party.

Her question left Melody feeling increasingly awkward as she turned to Lucas and said, "... I cwith Lucas." "Oh?" Stella's gaze drifted back to Lucas. "Is she your date?"

Melody recalled Lucas' displeasure when she introduced themselves to Sherman as friends so she made a point to uphold the facade of his elegant wife and took a step forward to introduce herself. "Miss Stella, we're-" "Friends," Lucas interjected curtly and cut her off before she could elaborate. 2 Melody was stunned, but she had a rough idea of why he might have acted that way and tactfully kept silent.
