Chapter 1939 Edmund nodded. "Yes. Mister Lucas has been invited to a banquet tonight, and he needs you to go with him. Are you able to make it?" Melody nodded. "Of course. That's what I should do." After all, being by Lucas' side meant shielding him from unnecessary troubles. As long as Lucas needed her, she would cooperate with him in attending these events for a year.
"Sit tight, Miss Melody. We need to make a stop somewhere before going to the banquet." Edmund sped up the car and brought Melody to a high-end styling studio.

"Alright..." Melody rarely wore makeup, but she knew that as Lucas' wife, she represented the image of the Rivera family. She had to dress up accordingly.
Melody followed Edmund inside. It was her first tin such a styling studio, and everything seemed a bit extravagant for her.
At that moment, Zeke stepped out and greeted Edmund with a smile," Edmund, it's been a while. What brings you here today?" Zeke then shifted his gaze and noticed Melody. "And who do we have here? "Hello, I'm Melody," greeted Melody with a smile.
Edmund stepped forward and informed Zeke of their purpose. "Miss Melody is accompanying Mister Lucas to a banquet tonight. We need your help in styling her. This is the outfit Mister Lucas selected, so please make her up accordingly." As he spoke, Edmund handed over a box containing the outfit.
Melody thought the dress would be simply exquisite, but she did not expect Lucas to personally choose it. After all, would a busy man like him have tto do something like that? Zeke smiled and said, "So you're Lucas' date for the night! Miss Melody, I'm Zeke. Cwith me." He then Melody inside. "This is our fashion zone, but with Lucas' stunning pick, we won't need to browse through the clothes here." As they walked deeper into the studio, Melody realized it was massive, with a clothing area spanning hundreds of square meters.
"Take a seat, Miss Melody!" Zeke gestured for her to sit in a small room. Then, he studied Melody in the mirror beside her. "You've got delicate features, Miss Melody. Any specific style you're into?" Melody hesitated and shook her head. "I don't usually wear much makeup, so I don't have a specific style in mind." "Is that so?" Zeke seemed somewhat surprised.

Since you don't have any preferences, I'll take the lead.” Zeke started moisturizing Melody's face with gentle movements while asking, "Miss Melody, if you don't mindasking, what's your relationship with Lucas?"
"Well, it's a bit complicated..." Melody was not sure how to explain her connection with Lucas to others, especially since Edmund only told him she would be accompanying Lucas to the banquet that night. What if she said something she should not have?
Zeke did not press further and smiled as he began applying makeup. "Well, you don't have to tellif you don't want to I'm just a bit curious. After all, Lucas has never brought any lady here, let alone personally choose an outfit. I assyou must be someone different and special to him."
'Different? No way does Lucas think that! We wouldn't even have met each other if I hadn't mistakenly knocked on his hotel room door that night! As for why he personally chose this outfit for me, maybe he just didn't wantto embarrass him at the event,' thought Melody.
