As Melody stood frozen in ce, Lucas gave Ste a shove, attempting to push her away slightly.


    It was then Ste spotted Melody standing not far away. Her gaze suddenly turned sinister, and she deliberately leaned closer to Lucas, yfully saying, "Lucas, look over there. Isn''t that Melody standing there?"


    At the sight of Melody, a moment of panic shed through Lucas'' eyes. That earlier scene would appear ambiguous to any observer.Belonging to N?velDrama.Org.


    Melody stared at them for a while, then briskly walked up, thrusting her phone into his hand before turning away.


    "Melody!" As she walked away, Lucas knew she must have misunderstood. He pushed Ste aside and turned to chase after her. Ste, having just achieved her goal of making Melody see the misunderstanding, was not going to let the man go so easily.


    "Ah!" Before Lucas could take a few steps, Ste suddenly screamed and copsed into his arms. "Lucas, help!"


    After saying this, Ste immediately ''fainted''.


    Witnessing this, Lucas helplessly turned back. No matter how he tried to shake her, Ste remainedpletely motionless. Lucas could not just ignore her, so he could only watch as Melody disappeared from his sight.


    "Edmund!" Lucas shouted, and Edmund immediately ran in from outside, appearing by his side.


    Lucas pushed Ste into Edmund''s arms. "Take her to the hospital."


    "Yes, sir." Edmund promptly led Ste away. Ste, feigning unconsciousness, was unwilling to leave like this. However, she could not wake up. If Lucas found out that she was pretending, the longstanding affection between them would truly be shattered.


    After handing Ste over to Edmund, Lucas headed toward the hotel. He needed to exin this situation to Melody and clear any misunderstandings between them and Ste.


    Just a few steps out, his phone rang. "Hello," he answered.


    "Mister Lucas, all the executives are here, waiting for you."


    Today''s meeting was crucial. If anything went wrong, it could affect thepany''s development goals for the second half of the year.


    ncing in the direction Melody had left, Lucas hesitated for a moment. Eventually, he spoke into the phone with determination, "Alright, I''ming."


    After ending the call, Lucas stood still for a minute, gazing in the direction of the hotel, then resolutely turned and left.


    Back at the hotel, Melody closed the door and sat down on the sofa, feeling lost. Scenes of Ste leaning in Lucas'' embrace involuntarily shed in her mind, making it impossible for her to calm down.


    "Read the script, read the script," Melody muttered, picking up the script from the table. Despite flipping through it, not a single word registered in her mind.


    "This is so annoying!" Melody leaned back on the sofa, covering her face with the script. She could not be like a saint, indifferent to seeing Lucas with another woman in his arms.
