Wendy roared and charged at Melody. Despite maintaining her vignce, Melody could not help but be startled. Just as Wendy was about to pounce on her, a man ran up from behind Melody and pulled her waist, moving her to the side.
Shaun covered his eyes in frustration. ''Why did Lucas have toe here now, and why was that woman causing trouble for Melody?!''
Staff members were watching over the meeting room, and despite the unpleasant conversation Melody and Wendy were having, there was no indication that Wendy would resort to violence. Who knew that just as Melody was about to leave to resume filming, Wendy would try to hit her again?
"Lucas?" After Melody steadied herself and looked up, she indeed saw Lucas. A smile lit up her face.
"Why are you here? Don''t you have a lot of work to do at thepany today?" she asked with surprise.
Of course, it was because Lucas had nted a spy to keep an eye over Melody in the film set. When Wendy came to find Melody, he immediately drove over from thepany, fearing that Melody would be bullied by the Sanders again.
"I thought we said we won''t be meeting with the Sanders again. Why did you agree to meet them?" asked Lucas with a frown. He was obviously displeased by Melody''s action. Melody gently tugged at his sleeve. "It''s okay. She didn''t do anything to me."
Wendy had fantasized countless times about the man backing Melody to be some fat and short guy, not taller than her. She never expected that the man she would see at that moment would be such a handsome and noble figure. Moreover, she could not shake the feeling that this man looked strangely familiar, though she could not recall where she might have seen him before.
''How could a man like this be interested in a woman like Melody?'' Wendy was puzzled, and meeting Lucas''s gaze only made her heart raced even more.
Unfortunately, Lucas'' gaze toward her was one of utter disdain. He never showed any kindness toward those who hurt Melody, even if they used to be family with Melody. Lucas lifted his chin slightly at Wendy.
Melody, understanding his silent inquiry, simply gave him Wendy''s name without divulging their rtionship.
Wendy, who seemed as if she
wanted to devour Melody alive just moments ago, was wearing a coy and charming smile. She introduced herself to Lucas. "Hello, I''m Melody''s sister, Wendy. Mister Lucas, you-"
Melody chuckled coldly. "Don''t listen to her nonsense. I don''t have a sister."N?vel(D)rama.Org''s content.
Wendy then put on an expression as if she were dealing with a child''s mischief. "Mister Lucas, don''t listen to Melody''s nonsense. We just had a little argument earlier, and she''s still upset so she''s saying things she doesn''t mean! Normally, we get along just fine. I''m her sister. Thank you for taking caredy, and I apologize if she has caused you all any trouble."
Wendy actually managed to put on a sisterly act.
Lucas found Wendy''s fakeness amusing. ''Does she really think I''m unaware of their family affairs? How dare she try to cozy up to me?'' "So, it''s you."
Wendy felt a sudden joy at Lucas'' tone. After all, it was only understandable a superior man like Lucas would like her instead of Melody.
"Mister Lucas, so you do know who I am!" Wendy smiled shyly, but her smile froze the next moment upon hearing what Lucas said next.
"I know your name because it was you who spread rumors online when Melody was embroiled in a scandal, making the situation even worse for her And,st time, it was also you who hired someone to hurt Melody!"
