The school bell rang at exactly noon, and like an alarm clock, Melody woke up at the sound.
Seeing Melody awake, Luke immediately reacted and handed her a cold drink.
"Boss, you must be parched! How about a drink?" Luke said.
Melody took the drink.She took a big sip and immediately felt more comfortable.
"Luke, you're really getting more and more considerate!" Melody praised.Even the flavor and
temperature of the drink were up to her taste! It really warmed Melody's heart.
Lance watched the whole scene with a sour face.
He despised how attentive and caring Luke was about Melody, but he also couldn't help but admire
Luke for it.
Luke really took his time to know and understand Melody.
He even knew things that Lance didn't know about her.
It was annoying! Lance made up his mind then and there that he had to pay more attention to Melody
and remember her preferences.
Feeling refreshed and happy after drinking, Melody finally stood up, which Luke and Lance took as a
signal to also stand up.
"Boss, shall we eat something?" Luke closely followed Melody behind.
The three of them didn't go to the school canteen and instead went to a nearby restaurant just outside
the school gate to eat.
Melody wasn't fond of spicy food, but she liked eating spicy Italian food or beef stew.
Luke and Lance were not particularly fond of eating, so they followed Melody and ate whatever her
choice was for the day.
After filling up their stomachs, the three went out of the restaurant, but Lance noticed that Melody didn’t
walk back in the direction of the school.
"Boss, where are we going?" Lance asked curiously.
Without stopping to walk, Melody looked back at Lance and answered, "We're going to practice!".
Melody's words didn't make sense, and it made Lance even more curious.
If they were going to practice, then shouldn't they go back to school and look for a practice room? So
why was Melody leading them somewhere other than the school gate? Lance wanted to know, but
Melody was already looking ahead, which meant that she had no intention of answering or telling them
anything else.
Lance was also reluctant to ask, so he kept his mouth shut.He was afraid that Melody would think that
he was stupid if he asked.
They walked a few more minutes until they reached an open space near the school.
Lance found a big truck parked in the open area, which was a pretty rare sight.
Their school was considered to be one of the top aristocratic schools in California.
Not only did that particular area belong to the school, but the roads and buildings within the vicinity
were within the school's territory.
A large truck carrying a large container could not enter this open space without permission.
But Lance's eyes went wide when a door slowly rose out of the large container.
He was quite puzzled when Luke took out a remote control from his bag.
Who knew that a door would suddenly appear and open after Luke pressed a button on the remote
control! In front of Lance's eyes, the big container opened wide, and a space the size of a small stage
revealed itself to him.
His eyes lit up in wonder while he looked at the specially decorated stage.
All the equipment they needed was all on the stage.
"Boss, did you arrange this?" Lance exclaimed.
“Mhm!" Melody said in a muffled voice.
Luke added, "We don't have the time to fight for a rundown practice room from those guys at school, so
we have to use our own equipment.Go on up and look.All the equipment inside is top-notch.Not bad,
right?"
Lance could tell even without Luke saying.
He wasn't stupid! He just didn't expect Melody to be so bold as to sneak in a truck they could use for
practice.
Lance had been thinking of robbing one of the practice rooms just so they could practice, but who knew
that Melody had other plans? Lance instantly realized that if he was hungry and followed Melody, there
would be food to eat! Melody was the first to go up at the small stage.
Her cold eyes swept over Lance and Luke, and one of her brows slightly rose.
"Don't just stand there.Come up and play so I can check you guys out!"
