"Well, there is something I''d like to talk to you about, but let''s eat first."


    Melody was in a great mood as she kept thinking about how she would soon be able to pay off her debt. She was so excited that she held Lucas'' arm and pulled him into the house.


    Lucas took a nce at her hands on his arm. There was a subtle shift in his heart.


    When he saw the dining table full of dishes, he was quite sure that something was off about her. "You must have something big to talk to me about, right?"


    "We''ll get to itter. Let''s eat first," answered Melody with a yful smile. She sat him down, served him a bowl of stew, and said, "It took me hours to cook this stew. The meat is all soft and tender now." Since Melody insisted on saving the topic forter, Lucas decided to let it go and took a sip of the stew.


    The stew tasted amazing. She definitely put a lot of effort and time into it. After a sip, he raised his head and saw her expectant eyes.


    "How is it?" Melody had never looked forward to apliment as much as this. She wanted to know what he thought about her cooking.


    "Not bad," answered Lucas with a nod of approval. He could not say otherwise when she looked at him like that.


    Melody was d that he approved of her soup. She then sat down to have dinner with him.Text content ? N?velDrama.Org.


    "Grandpa and Grandma said that they won''t be home tonight because they have a gathering with their old friends," said Melody.


    "I see," said Lucas indifferently.


    Beatrice and Cedric did not usually tell him where they were going, so he became unconcerned about their whereabouts. However, he did station some men to watch over them.


    Melody waited patiently for Lucas to finish his dinner. When he was almost done, she finally broke the news to him.


    "Actually... I got a call today. It was a job offer."


    "You''re still looking for a job?" Lucas put down his spoon and looked at her calmly. "I thought I told you that you don''t need to get a job."


    "I still think that I need to gain more experience," Melody insisted.


    "What job is that?" asked Lucas.


    Before they got married, Lucas had Edmund do a background check on Melody, so he was aware that Melody had been trapped at home after graduating from college. In other words, she had no working experience.


    ''Why would anyone offer a job to someone with no working experience or background? Let''s hope it''s not a scam,'' he thought.


    "Remember themercial that I did for Parr Group? A movie director named Shaun Tate saw themercial, and he wanted me to y the female lead in his uing movie."


    Melody then held out three fingers with a joyful smile. "They''re paying me three million dors for that role!"


    Lucas did not know much about the entertainment industry, but thanks to Ste, he knew some of the well-known movie directors.


    Not only was Shaun Tate a talented movie director with many award-winning movies under his belt but was also known for his good personality too. It would be a good opportunity for Melody if she could y the role in his movie. She had good looks, so the entertainment industry might suit her well.


    However, Lucas did not wish to see his wife work herself into the ground.


    "Can I take the job, Lucas?" asked Melody, her gaze twinkling with hope.


    Lucas could not say no to that face, so he only asked, "When are you signing the contract?"


    "Tomorrow. He just sent me the time and venue." Melody took out her phone and showed him the message Jelena sent to her.


    "I see." Lucas took a look at the time and venue, then he stood up and returned to his room.
