Chapter 1996 Melody had been in more frequent contact with Edmund and enlisted his help in many tasks. She was well aware of Edmund's capabilities, and she knew he could easily step in to teach Wendy a lesson. However, she was determined to handle the matter herself. She had to learn how to fight back against her bullies, or she would never grow.
"I can handle it myself, and Edmund has helpeda lot. He's your secretary, not my errand boy. I can't keep burdening him with more work all the time," said Melody with a faint smile.
For sreason, her smile made Lucas' heart ache. It was as if she was a fragile doll who could shatter at a slight touch.
"Let's go." Lucas stepped forward and took her hand. "I'll take you out for a meal." Melody barely registered what was happening, even as he dragged her out. "Uh, Lucas, wait..." He ignored her protest and strode outside with her in tow.

It seemed like she was not as resistant to his touch as before.
Unbeknownst to them, their relationship subtly changed over time.
Lucas led her to the car and opened the passenger door, gesturing for her to get in. "Get in." "Where are we going?" Melody looked at her hand, which had been released, feeling somewhat unsure of where to put it.
Lucas sighed helplessly and nudged her into the car. "Where else do you think? I'm taking you out for a meal." He drove Melody to a nearby restaurant and said to the waiter, "The usual." The waiter immediately understood his request and brought all the dishes within five minutes.
"Enjoy your meal. Mister Lucas." After the waiter left, Melody raised her concerns about the table full of dishes. "Lucas, are these dishes freshly made? How is everything ready within five minutes of US sitting down?" "This restaurant always sets aside a table of dishes I usually eat. When I come, they serve the dishes. If I don't, it becomes their staffs dinner." Lucas picked up a bowl of soup and placed it in front of Melody.
Melody once again experienced the life of a wealthy person. The table full of dishes must have cost a fortune in ingredients, yet they had it ready every day.
"Do you chere to eat often?" "Occasionally." Lucas gracefully poured himself a bowl of soup and began sipping it.
Melody pouted. He truly lived a lavish life.

NQ She started sipping the soup too. Although it seemed like the soup did not contain any special ingredients, with the first sip, Melody realized it was incredibly delicious-a taste she never tasted before. "What did they add to this soup that made it so tasty?"
"Why are you asking so many questions? Don't talk so much while eating." Lucas sipped his soup to warm his stomach and started eating the other dishes. To witness Melody's '' they played out in the studio, Lucas did not really have tto eat either.
"You seem to know a thing or two about food, Lucas," Melody muttered before she earnestly started eating.
Although the dishes did not seem overly extravagant, their flavors were far different from the usual restaurants.
After a while, Lucas looked up at her.' What is your next move?"
"Me?" Melody furrowed her brow, pondering for a moment. "With this video as leverage, Wendy, probably won't botherfor a while. So I plan to continue job hunting. The sooner I find a job, the sooner I can start earning money." X
