"Alright, since there's a morning scene to shoot, hurry up and go. Don't keep the cast waiting," Lucas said, urging Shaun to leave.

Of course, everyone had been in the business for so long, so they understood that Lucas did not want Melody to wait.

Once Shaun had left, Lucas could not stand the presence of the remaining people either. He dismissed them and then laid down on Melody's sofa. It was a place Melody often frequented, and he could still catch a whiff of her pleasant scent in the air.

Lucas' brow relaxed slightly, but the recent argument with Melody weighed on his mind. He could not help but wonder when Melody had started thinking about leaving him. However, there was a voice in his heart that was crystal clear; he absolutely would not allow her to leave him.

He did not know what to do next. He shifted his body, curling up his long legs on the narrow sofa. He did not mind the crampness of the sofa as long as he could smell Melody's scent on it. Unaware, he drifted off to sleep once again.

Melody acted as if Lucas did not exist. After a big scene, her morning shoot was over. Although it took some effort in the morning to get her makeup done, Shaun was very satisfied with the outcome of the

scene.

Melody had always added her own twist to the character beyond the analysis of the screenwriter and director, as if she was born for this role, which greatly surprised Shaun.

"You didn't sleep well yesterday, and you've been working hard this morning. Go back and rest," Shaun said.

Before letting her leave, Shaun specifically reminded her that Lucas seemed to have not left her dressing room.

"Okay, got it. Thank you, Mister Shaun," Melody replied with a face full of makeup, ready to remove it later. She was getting better at moving around with her crutches and did not need anyone's help at all. When she pushed open the door to her dressing room, Melody was surprised to find Lucas sleeping on her sofa. She frowned and approached him; even the sound of her crutch tapping on the floor did not wake him up.

"How tired could he be? If he's that tired, why doesn't he sleep at home? Why bother coming here? Can't he leave me alone? Isn't having Thalia enough for him?" Melody muttered to herself as she stood by Lucas' side, observing him sleeping.

Despite his usual aloof demeanor, he looked harmless while sleeping. Melody felt a mix of love and hate as she stared at him. She hated herself for not being able to break free immediately, but she also resented him for not letting her go.

It would be so much better if relationships could be cleanly cut like silk. As Melody was lost in thought, Lucas' phone, which was placed on the table, suddenly rang. Afraid of waking Lucas up, Melody instinctively grabbed the phone, but she did not realize the caller was Thalia.

In the midst of her hesitation, Lucas woke up and came over to see Melody holding his phone. He stood up and took the phone from her.

Melody felt embarrassed. "Sorry, I didn't mean to snoop on your phone. It was just that you were sleeping so soundly..."

Before Melody could finish her sentence, Lucas took the phone and left the room.

His demeanor made Melody even more upset. 'Did he think I wanted to eavesdrop on their conversation? Oh, how I wish these two people would just leave me alone!' Melody bit her lip. 'Why couldn't he leave earlier?'

"What's up?" asked Lucas evenly.
