Chapter 2026 Lucas picked up his glass and sipped his water. "It didn't close down. I stepped in and acquired it before it went bankrupt." "Really?" Stella's face lit up with surprise. "So that means I can still have it? Lucas, when can you taketo the factory for a tour?" While they chatted, Melody remained silent, engrossed in her phone the entire time. She had not experienced these past events, so she could not find a way to join the conversation, other than playing with her phone, she could not think of anything else to do.

It seemed like Stella intentionally brought up this topic to create a distance between Melody and them. She was trying to make Melody understand that she and Lucas were childhood sweethearts and a perfect match.

Playing with her phone, a message from Sherman popped up on the screen, and Melody casually clicked on it. [I heard you signed the contract for Shaun's new movie. Congratulations!] Upon seeing the message, Melody's first reaction was how he knew about it. She then realized that Shaun chose her after seeing the advertisement by Parr Group, so Sherman must have known, too.

[Thank you. speaking of which, I have to thank you. I wouldn't have gotten this role if it weren't for the advertisement your company shot.] [Nah, you got it on your own merit. It has nothing to do with me. I hope you'll still rememberwhen you beca bigshot celebrity!] [Stop teasing me. I don't even know if I can do it. It'll be over forif I mess up the performance.] [Don't worry, you can definitely do it. I believe in you.] Melody was still worried about letting Shaun down, but she did not know whom to share her concerns with. Thus, she felt a lot better after talking to Sherman about it.

However, what she did not know was that Lucas had been staring coldly at her while she was texting on her phone.

"What are you talking about?" Finally, he could not resist anymore. He reached over and took the phone from her hand. His face darkened even more as he read through the conversation between Melody and Sherman.

'What's wrong with her? She'd rather talk with Sherman than to me?' he thought angrily.

"Giveback my phone." Melody reached out to retrieve her phone, but he skillfully dodged her.

Lucas locked the phone and placed it aside, saying, "You shouldn't use your phone during meal times. Eat your food now."

"I haven't replied to the message yet." Melody thought it would be rude if she did not reply to sherman sinde he had helped her. Thus, she wanted to get her phone back to reply to the message. Nonetheless, she was frightened by Lucas' expression. "Fine. I'll eat first."

'A wise person doesn't invite trouble,'thought Melody. With Lucas looking so displeased, pushing M further might provoke his anger ET. again. Thus, it was better to do what he said and once he was feeling better, she would ask for her phone back. She decided to drop the phone issue, and Lucas' expression softened slightly.

Stella found the interactions of the two particularly irritating. She did not expect Lucas to be so concerned about Melody's behavior.

'Have they becso intimate in such a short time? I've spent more than a decade trying to get him to be O closer to me, yet Melody gets it so quickly! D *mn it! What does Melody have that I don't?' she thought. "Lucas, I heard there's a good private dining place near your company. Are you free tomorrow night? Let's go try it together," Stella joined the conversation with a smile.
