His Heiress Wife (Retika)

Chapter 168: Big Fat Liar 

Tomorrow was the weekend, so Melody was to accompany Sarah to record her program.

There were two episodes left, and because Sarah had accumulated a lot of popularity in the program, Sarah's endorsement and filming had increased a lot.

She looked so happy every time she appeared in front of Melody.

As usual, the school bell rang at exactly noon, and Melody woke up, albeit unsteadily.Her usually clear and cold eyes were still a little bloodshot when she opened her eyes.Her brows were tightly knitted together, and there was a gloomy air on her face, which, if put together, was quite frightening.

No one dared to disturb Melody while she took her time to wake up fully.

Even Luke waited for Melody to wake up before he dared to make a single sound.

"Boss, have some drink!" Luke gently said, still careful not to disturb Melody's sleepy state.

Melody didn't even raise her eyes as she instinctively reached out her hand to take the drink.

Luke gently placed the drink in Melody's hands.

While he watched, Melody’s previously furrowed eyebrows gradually relaxed as the cold liquid entered her throat, and Luke felt a sense of satisfaction for a job well done.

He was pretty proud that only he understood Melody's preferences.

Seeing Melody happy and letting her feel comfortable was the happiest moment of Luke's life because Melody was the one who gave Luke his identity.

No one could ever surpass her in his heart.

"Boss, tomorrow is the weekend," Luke happily said.

"We don't need to practice.Why don't we go and play tonight?!"

The school anniversary was coming soon, so many teams would take advantage of the weekend to practice.

But their team didn't really need it. Content from NôvelDr(a)ma.Org.

With their high level of skills, there was absolutely no need for them to go to rehearsals.

Hearing Luke's words, Lance's ears perked up and waited for Melody's answer.

He was waiting for an opportunity to express his willingness and participate in a well-deserved day-off for their team.

Unfortunately, Melody didn’t let them have their way.She propped up her chin with one hand and played with the bottle of drink in her hand out of boredom.

"I'll be accompanying Sarah tomorrow morning to record a program.So I have to rest at night," she said.

Luke understood that if they played all night tonight, then it would really affect Melody’s condition for tomorrow's program.

Melody had to be in tip-top shape so she could do well in the program since many people would be sure to watch! Besides, there would be plenty of time for them to hang out after the show.

"That's fine, boss! You can rest tonight so you can go tomorrow," Luke said, his smile unwavering.

"I'll cheer you on by watching the show!"

Without waiting for Melody to respond, Lance, who was standing by the side, also said, "I'll do that too!"

"Hey, how can you be like this? Learn from others and stop copying me!" Luke shouted with dissatisfaction.

Lance didn't allow Luke to outdo him.

So the two started to quibble like two primary kids fighting in school.

Melody helplessly shook her head and decided to leave the two alone.

She picked up her school bag with one hand and quickly left the room.

It was minutes after Melody left did Luke finally noticed Melody's disappearance.Luke, of course, didn't forget to give Lance a fierce glare.

"Bastard, I won't argue with you today," Luke said through his clenched teeth.

"But just you wait, I'll make sure to kill you next time!"

Then, like a gust of wind, he picked up his things and ran away.

Lance also rushed to tidy up his things.He didn’t let Luke have his way and shouted back, "I'm not afraid of you, you know?!"

while he quickly put his things in his bag and left as well.

When Melody came out of the school gate, she saw a familiar car parked just outside.She found it a little amusing since Seth had never used the same car twice when visiting her.

Melody inclined her head and took the path towards the car.

When she was close, the window of the black McLaren car lowered down, and the owner of the car stepped outside and walked towards her.

His long, slender legs instantly reached Melody in seconds.

Seth's deep, dark eyes stared at Melody, and his typically cold eyes turned gentle instantly.

"Did you know I was coming?" Seth asked, surprised.

The sun had almost set, and the remaining light of that afternoon covered Melody in a layer of red- yellow hue.

Her long and slender figure seemed to glow under the warm light, making her skin almost transparent.

Melody was so beautiful that it took his breath away.

Moments like this made Seth think how amazing it was that he had met this woman in front of him.The said woman was still holding her school bag in one hand while the other was in her pocket, her eyes trained on Seth.

"No! I didn't know you were coming," Melody honestly admitted.

But something about today made her feel like Seth was going to return.

Melody wasn't hoping nor expecting anything, but she still walked out of the school.

Indeed, Seth was there.

They didn't plan it, but Melody felt a little happy to meet Seth there without them agreeing to it.

The man chuckled, and his handsome face considerably lit up with happiness.

It was one of the rarest emotions anyone could ever see from Seth's face.

"Get in the car, then.I'll take you out to dinner," Seth said after a while.

"Okay!" Melody answered crisply.

The man opened the car door for her and put his hand on top of the car door before reaching out his other hand to usher Melody inside.

Luke and Lance also arrived at the school gate the same time as Melody stepped inside Seth's car.

The two didn't expect not only to see Melody gone but for her to also be in the back of Seth's car.

After all, they all agreed to rest tonight since Melody needed to get up early tomorrow!

‘Liar!’ Luke almost shouted.

Melody was a big fat liar! Since Lance was beside him, Luke took the opportunity and vent all his frustrations on him.

Lance seemed confused, so he started to scold Luke.

"Hey, man! Are you sick?"

"Why are you hurting me?" Lance added.

"I wasn't the one who took the boss away!"

Luke snorted in annoyance and pointed his finger at Lance, "You're from the same family as him, so you're a good-for-nothing too!"

Luke didn't wait for Lance to react.He didn't need to either as he angrily left.

Lance, who had been silent all the while, rubbed his face helplessly and suddenly felt that having the surname "Harrison"

wasn’t necessarily a good thing.

But it was all because his uncle was simply too treacherous! Seth originally planned to find a place to eat with Melody.

But not long after they drove out of the school, he received a call from Iven.

He invited Seth to a dinner party, saying that his friends were all there, even Axel was attending.

Iven didn't have plans of ever leaving California.

There were just a lot of things he liked and would miss in this city if he ever did.

Seth didn't immediately agree.He put the phone on speaker and placed it in front of Melody for her to hear what Iven was saying.

"Do you want to go?" Seth looked at Melody and asked; his low and husky voice was extremely gentle.

Melody leaned against the leather sofa and lifted her tired eyelids.

"Sure!" she replied with a faint, sleepy voice.

After receiving Melody's answer, Seth quickly put his phone close to his ear.

Although Melody’s voice wasn't loud, the person on the other line still clearly heard her voice.

When Iven heard Melody's unmistakable voice, he shouted excitedly.

"Seth, hurry up and bring Melody over! We miss her.We're going to wait for her, alright! We haven't seen each other for some time, so you must come with Melody!" Missed her? Seth felt a little irritated.

Why would Iven miss Melody? Without waiting for Iven to finish, Seth hung up the phone.

Iven didn't send the address to Seth but sent it to Austin instead.

He knew that Seth wasn’t the one driving and knew that Austin would simply go to the location directly if he sent Austin the address.

When Austin received the message, he looked at Seth to ask for his decision.

Seth gave him a slight nod, and Austin drove towards the address Iven gave him.

Melody suddenly asked, "Have you been busy?"

Seth tilted his head and looked at her, his eyes questioning.

Seeing that he didn't understand what she meant, Melody explained, "Have you not met with Iven and the others lately?"

Seth and Iven were usually very close; they spent a lot of their time together over dinner and drinks.

Even though Seth disliked Iven, the latter still loved to pester Seth.

lven even went as far as to stay with Seth whenever he had nothing to do, and Seth couldn't even chase him away!
