NovelEnglishChapter 2027 Upon hearing this, Lucas glanced at Melody. He then shook his head, saying, "I have to attend a meeting at work tomorrow." "What about the day after tomorrow? I'm quite free for the next few days," Stella cheekily replied. "You know my schedule is always packed with shoots, so it's rare forto have so many days off." Lucas intended to refuse, but the thought of Stella's father once saving him made him hesitate.
Seeing that he did not respond, Stella flashed a radiant smile at him, thinking that he was agreeing to go out with her. She then glanced at Melody while saying, "You're the best, Lucas! I'll text you the tand location, then." Melody felt quite uncomfortable at listening to her 'husband' discussing a date with another woman. However, she knew she had no right to say anything.
Stella felt a dark sense of satisfaction when she saw the change in Melody's expression. Despite Melody and Lucas flirting with each other earlier, Stella emerged as the victor.

It all tastes so salty," said Stella with disgust. She then reached for Lucas' glass and brought it to her lips to take a sip.
Melody's eyes widened when she saw what Stella did. The glass Stella had just drank from was the one Lucas had used in front of both of them.
Melody refused to believe Stella mistook this fact.
'Stella picked up the cup Lucas had drunk from and took a sip herself.
What's she trying to achieve? An indirect kiss?' Melody bit her lip, lowered her head, and let out a scoff.
'She's really shameless! Drinking from the sglass as a married man is akin to an indirect kiss, no?' Lucas noticed Stella had drunk from his glass as well. He had every intention to stop her, but before he could do so, Stella had already taken a sip.
Lucas' eyes darkened. His hand paused midair before he withdrew it.
Stella feigned surprise as if just realizing she had drunk Lucas' water. ' Oh my goodness! Sorry, I think I mistakenly drank from the wrong glass." She 'apologetically' placed the glass back in its original position.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏm"Lucas, I'm sorry. You're not mad at me, are you?" Stella's words were like putting Lucas on the spot. It would make him seem petty if he scolded her then. Since he did not know what to say, Lucas simply stayed silent. He proceeded to eat his food with a glower. Stella did not get what she wanted, but she was not scolded either. All in all, it was a win for her. Feeling vindicated, she asked the waiter to bring a set of utensils for her so that she could have lunch with Lucas and Melody.
Throughout the meal, Lucas did not touch that glass again instead, he picked up the glass in front of Melody after he had finished eating. "Uh... That's my..." Before Melody could finish her sentence, Lucas downed the water in the glass in one gulp. After finishing the water, he stood up.
"Let's go back home."
Stella watched as he deliberately avoided the glass she had drunkn from and chose Melody's glass instead. That left a bitter taste in her heart. 'Just what kind of tricks did Melody use to make Lucas like her so much?' she wondered.
The three of them left the restaurant together.
Melody was about to get into the family's car when Stella, who had been behaving herself Spoke Up again, "Oh my! My manager seems to have gone missing, and I can't reach. him. The set is quite far from here, and I don't know how to get back!"
