Chapter 1988 Sensing Wendy's hesitation, Melody decided to use a bit of reverse psychology. "Honestly speaking, while we might not be the biggest production, we've got a decent investment. I can look for another actress if you're not interested." Melody was about to hang up, and Wendy must have sensed it as she quickly stopped her.
"Wait! It's not what you think. I just haven't had a look at your script, you know? I'm not sure if the role suits me." "If you're interested, you can swing by for an audition. We believe you'll be perfect for this character." After facing numerous rejections from other production companies, Wendy felt a surge of joy at someone acknowledging her talent.
"Sure, I'll give it a shot!" she replied.

Melody then made her way to the study. She mentally prepared herself at the door before knocking on the door.
"Cin." With the permission granted, Melody pushed the door open and stepped inside.
Lucas was seated in front of his laptop, engrossed in his work.
"Am I disturbing you?" asked Melody cautiously.
"Take a seat," Lucas said without looking up from his work. He just pointed to the chair in front of him. "Just giveten minutes." Melody nodded and sat quietly in front of him.
When Lucas was immersed in his work, he was a far cry from his usual icy self. In this focused state, he exuded an aura of dependability and maturity that made others feel secure in his presence.
About 10 minutes later, Lucas closed his laptop and shifted his attention to Melody. "Alright, what is it this time?" Snapping back from her thoughts, Melody hesitated before speaking.

"I've told Edmund that you should find him for things that can be easily solved." Concern flashed in Melody's eyes as she watched him. "Is your head okay?" "It's fine. You still haven't toldwhat you need help with?" "Edmund found out that Wendy was the one behind the leak. I want to teach her a lesson, but I need a stuand sextras. Can you helpwith that?" "A studio? What do you need it for?" asked Lucas. He then narrowed his eyes and gazed deeply at her.
"I want to give Wendy a taste of her own medicine."
This was the first tLucas had seen such an expression on her face. Melody's usual sweet and sensible demeanor was gone. In its place was a mischievous look.
Lucas' intense gaze made her a bit shy. "Um... Why are you staring atlike that is something on my face?" "Nothing." Lucas looked away, then continued, "I can help you, but tellwhat you're planning." "My plan isn't fully formed yet. I need stto think before I can share it with you," Melody explained.
When Lucas heard that, he decided not to push and allowed her to handle things her own way.
"You can go to Edmund for these kinds of matters. He'll take care of everything for you."
Melody felt more assured after getting Lucas' approval. "Thanks, Lucas. NI buy you a meal once everything's settled." With that, Melody turned and left the room.
