Upon hearing Melody's response, the girl on the other end just chuckled lightly, brushing off the question.

"Who am I? You'll find out when you ask Lucas. Are you two having dinner outside? Did you manage to resolve the problem within your crew?"

Melody frowned. Not only did the girl refuse to reveal her identity, but she also seemed to be probing with her questions. Moreover, how did she know about the recent events within the crew?

'She must have a lot of contact with Lucas to be able to know about all that when she's abroad...' thought Melody.

"I'm sorry, miss. I don't know who you are, so I can't casually give you information about us. You'd have to tell me your name first if you genuinely want to know. I'll tell you everything you want to know if you are indeed a friend of Lucas."

The girl on the other end clearly did not expect Melody to respond this way. She paused for a moment, then burst into laughter, followed by a quick cough.

"Melody, you may not know me, but I know quite a bit about you. Lucas has told me a lot about you."

The girl had an enigmatic air about her, making Melody even more frustrated. "Since you know so much about me, there's no need for further questioning!"

The girl on the other end just chuckled lightly. "Hmm, fair enough! I have something else to attend to. Please tell Lucas I'll be waiting for his call. I trust you won't be so petty as to withhold even this information. "Rest assured, I'll let him know."

The girl on the other side decisively hung up the phone.

Melody held onto Lucas' phone, feeling a bit complicated. She could not shake the feeling that the girl on the phone was not Lucas' sister. After all, there would be no need for such secrecy if she was his sister; she would have simply revealed her identity.

Moreover, everything the girl said only confirmed her close relationship with Lucas. It did not sound like a sibling bond, which made Melody, who had just been confessed to by Lucas, quite uneasy.

'I thought he wanted to give us a try and start anew... So who was the girl on the phone?' S~ᴇaʀᴄh the FindNøvᴇl.nᴇt website on Gøøglᴇ to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.

All sorts of thoughts filled Melody's mind. Even the bubbling hotpot in front of her did not seem as appetizing anymore.

'Thalia? That name seems so familiar, but where have I heard it before?' she wondered.

After hanging up the phone, Melody had an unexplainable sense of foreboding-a woman's intuition. However, she trusted Lucas and believed he was not the cheating type.

She shook her head to dispel her thoughts. Yet, she could not help but dwell on the matter.

Even after the call ended, Melody remained unsettled for a long time. She was not sure what kind of relationship the girl had with Lucas, but she keenly sensed that it was not a simple one.

Thalia...

Melody lifted her gaze toward the direction of the restroom; Lucas had not come out yet. She felt torn, but ultimately, she placed the phone back where it was. She would have lost if she were to secretly search through Lucas' phone while he was away.

She also wondered what name she was saved under in his phone. Would it be an affectionate name like Thalia's?

When Lucas returned, he noticed Melody staring at him strangely. He raised an eyebrow inquisitively. "What's wrong? Is something on my face?"

Melody furrowed her brow slightly and shook her head. "Nothing's wrong."

"Then why were you looking at me like that?"

Melody pointed at his phone. "Someone called you a while ago. I was afraid it might be something important since it kept ringing non-stop, so I answered. It was a girl named Thalia. I'm sorry for answering you call without asking..."
