Luke sprung to his feet and rushed forward to greet Melody as soon as she entered the classroom.
The class monitor used to be the first one to arrive at class.
But today, the class monitor found out that Luke arrived at class first.
At first, Luke assumed that all top students enjoyed studying and wanted to come to class early every
day for that very reason.
Later on, he realized that he was wrong because it wasn't always the case.
The actual reason why Luke came to school the earliest that day was not because he wanted to study.
When Luke arrived at class earlier today, the first thing he did was take out a portable electric cooker
from his bag and a small lunch box that he could heat up.
What Luke did left the class monitor speechless.
The class monitor did not expect Luke to know how to cook, and she surely did not anticipate Luke to
come to class early in the morning to make himself some breakfast.
Initially, the class monitor thought that Luke had always lived a luxurious life and pursued perfection
actively.
But then the class monitor realized that Luke did not even eat the breakfast he made.
It was not until Melody showed up that the class monitor finally understood what was happening.
It turned out that Luke had planned everything for Melody.
The class monitor could only sigh in envy when she saw them like that and Luke treating Melody so
well.
Luke dramatically presented Melody with the meal he had made as if he was presenting a treasure.
Melody disliked eating food that had been stored away for a long time.She only liked to consume
freshly made food.
It was the reason why Luke came to school early this time.
It was to make breakfast for Melody, not for himself.
"Boss, I made you some prawn salad, pumpkin soup, and leafy green vegetables for breakfast.Do you
want to try some? I promise you that it's good!" Luke persuaded.
Melody took a peek at what Luke had prepared for her.
Luke's cooking skills had tremendously improved.
His hard work paid off from his Le Cordon Bleu training in France.
Melody had already eaten breakfast on the way to school and had no more room to eat.
She thought that her stomach would burst if she took one more bite of food.
Melody shook her head and replied, "Sorry, but I already ate."
Luke paused for a moment and looked at Melody in surprise, "You ate breakfast this morning?"
Melody sat down without responding to him.
Luke was stunned in silence and realized that Melody was not kidding.
‘I know that Boss doesn't usually like eating breakfast, so what changed? Why did she actively eat
breakfast today?’ Luke wondered.
Luke was about to ask Melody to clear up his confusion but he kept quiet when he saw her lay down.
Lance couldn't help but burst into laughter at the side when he saw that Luke had miserably failed to
appease Melody.
While Melody was resting, both Luke and Lance tried not to make a sound that might disturb her.
But their eyes remained on Melody the entire time, not letting go of their affections for her.
The rest of the class could not help but stare at the scene in jealousy.
The people around them especially envied Melody's place.
Luke not only had good grades, but he was also super good-looking.
He was bright, well-mannered, and was completely different compared to Lance.
On the other hand, Lance had a strong presence that made people gravitate towards him.
On top of that, countless other girls had a crush on him.
Melody had these two ideal men wrapped around her little finger.
Lance and Luke both wished they could hold Melody's hand.
Their classmates saw through their feelings at a glance.
They couldn't help but feel jealous.
Many people were envious, but many more were furious.
Reagan's seatmate was so enraged that her face became bright red when she saw them.
"Rea, what exactly do those guys find so special about Melody anyway? Did she hypnotize them, give
them a love potion or something? I mean, why else would they flock towards her? They must be blind!"
Reagan's seatmate angrily expressed.
Reagan was equally furious about it that her face twisted into an ugly frown.She couldn't figure out
what made Melody so special either.
Melody was a walking disaster from the countryside as far as Reagan was concerned.
Melody was oblivious that so many people wanted to pursue her.
However, Reagan remained silent because Melody was beneath her in her eyes.
Reagan believed that Melody was a country bumpkin that would never be able to compare to her.
After Reagan let her seatmate finish talking, she said coldly, "Some people pass off fake products as
genuine.People like Melody do that all the time, making it look like she’s being genuine when she’s just
a phony.Besides, why are you so affected?"
Reagan maintained a calm demeanor while her seatmate was still a bit mad.
"Rea, I admire your temper.Melody is trying so hard to be better than you.If I were you, I would be
enraged! But you're the one with a good temperament here.So I won't bother with Melody anymore."
Reagan's grip on her pen tightened, and her big almond-shaped eyes filled with hostility.
‘My seatmate is right.Melody is far too shameless.She wants to put me down and make everyone think
that she's the true heiress of the Sullivan Family, doesn't she?' Reagan's magnified thoughts continued,
‘I can't let her do that.Don't even dream about it, Melody”
"Rea, the auditions will start tomorrow.You have to show Melody how talented you are in music than
she is.That'll teach her! I bet she knows less than you do, and we have to be there to watch her’
Reagan's seatmate looked at Melody in disgust and cryptically talked to Reagan.
But Reagan understood what her seatmate meant.
This time, Reagan wanted to see Melody fail very badly.
Melody woke up and sat on the chair in a daze during the break.
Luke noticed that Melody was getting less sleep lately, and he knitted his eyebrows in concern.
"Boss, have you been in a bad state recently? You seem to be sleep-deprived’
"No, I am not"
Melody responded coolly.
Melody was actually in a good state, so she did not need to sleep for a long time.
Lance finally found a chance to talk to Melody and he was not going to let this opportunity pass.
"Boss, I've been practicing hard on my guitar for the past few days.I especially like to practice the song
you chose for the school performance.If you have time in the afternoon, will you come and listen to me
play?"
Everyone was busy preparing for the school anniversary event performance.
Melody was participating, Luke was in charge of putting on a good show, and Lance did not want to be
left out so he picked up a guitar.
Lance was taking guitar lessons every day.He found three guitar teachers who focused on teaching
him the guitar, and they guided him every step of the way.
So far, Lance had not missed a single second of his lessons.
Lance could finally play a song on the guitar without any trouble.He could not wait to show Melody his
progress.
"Surel" Melody did not hesitate to answer him.
She did not mind since Lance asked her to see him play the guitar, and she also wanted to help him
too.
Lance was ecstatic to hear Melody accept his request.He looked at her with a genuine smile.
"Thank you so much, Boss! I'm going to make you proud!"
Luke snorted and rolled his eyes when he saw Lance's proud face.
"You only practiced for a few days.That doesn't mean you're automatically a musical genius now.You
have a lot of nerve to show off.However, Lance was unfazed by Luke's mockery.Lance was quick to
retaliate.
"Whether you think I can play the guitar well or not, you can see it for yourself.I'll give you a
performance you'll never forget.Why don't we compare each other's skills instead? Then we'll see
who's all bark and no bite."
"Oh, you're on! We shall wait and see!" Luke challenged.
One could almost cut the atmosphere with a knife by how tense it was between Lance and Luke.
The two shared deadly stares and if looks could kill, they would both be dead by now.
Clifford, who was sitting near the two, was trembling in fear.
Lance and Luke could never get along without conflict.
The two of them would constantly fight whenever and wherever they met.
Melody was the only one without a reaction.She just sat there and let them continue bickering with
each other.
Even Melody did not understand why Lance and Luke were both so childish whenever they were in the
same room.
Lance and Luke were normally callous, but they would quickly become immature and childish in each
other's presence.
Melody felt like Lance and Luke would pounce on each other at any given moment, and neither of them
would be willing to give up so easily.
But in Melody's opinion, she should not care about what Lance and Luke wanted to do with each
other.It was better to let them be.
After all, it was their business.Melody could see no reason to interfere.
