His Heiress Wife (Retika)

Chapter 182: A Great Background 

Two days and one night of filming passed in the blink of an eye.

The production team didn’t arrange for a car to transport them back because they all had their van.

It was only applicable, though, for the two groups of guests.

For Sarah, who used to be a newbie but was now slightly famous, the company forgot to arrange a van for her.

"Mellie, wait for me.Tyrone told me that he couldn't pick us up because he still had something to do.I'll call a taxi, okay?" Sarah called.

A big, black Mercedes-Benz personal van pulled over before them the moment Sarah stopped talking.

Sarah was still curious about the person who was about to pick them up when the car door opened and revealed Jaz's handsome face.

Jaz then looked at Melody with an infectious smile on his face and invited, "Mellie, get in the car.I'll give you a ride home!"

Melody turned her head to Sarah.

Sarah then understood that Melody was waiting for her opinion.

Although Melody was usually cold, she was considerate regarding other people's feelings.

"Who would want to say no to a free ride? Of course, Mellie! Let's get in the car!"

Sarah offered enthusiastically.

Just as they were about to get in the car, they both heard another car blowing its horn.This time, a luxurious, black Maybach slowly approached them.

The car stopped, and two handsome men slowly got out of the vehicle.

Seth walked straight towards Melody and stopped in front of her.

He confidently opened his arms and waited for her in midair, expecting her to return his embrace.

Melody took her bag off her back and threw it on Seth’s outreached hand.She was acting nonchalantly as if she had done it to Seth many times before.

Seth eagerly accepted, but he became aware of a stern glare directed at him.He turned his head and looked at the black Mercedes-Benz personal van.

Right there, he met Jaz's shocked eyes! Jaz couldn't believe what he had just witnessed.

He actually saw Melody being close to another male other than whom he knew of! In addition, she even threw her bag into the arms of that man!

‘Oh my God! The world is changing too fast!’ Jaz thought to himself.

lven accompanied Seth.

When he learned that Seth was on his way to pick Melody up, he volunteered to go with him.

"Melody, it’s been a long time since we've last seen each other.Did you miss me?" Iven asked playfully.

Melody and Seth rolled their eyes at the same time when they heard Iven's words.

Iven's hair stood on end and the back of his neck turned cold from fear.He was on the verge of kneeling.

Without saying another word, he shut his mouth close.

After dealing with lven, Seth's dark eyes turned to Melody.

His eyes, which were as cold as an eagle's, immediately turned gentle when they landed on Melody.

"Shall we go?" Seth offered.

Melody slightly nodded her head but realized that Sarah suddenly turned silent.She turned her head to look at Sarah and noticed that something was wrong.

"You're not going with us?" Melody faintly asked.

All of a sudden, Sarah reacted exaggeratedly.She looked like a cat that had its tail stepped on as her expression changed.

"Shocks! I forgot something! I need to go back and talk to the director.You go right ahead!"

Sarah made sure to reiterate her words to Melody and said, "You don't need to wait for me, Mellie.Just go!"Sarah didn't wait for Melody's response and went right ahead, dragging her luggage away with her.

She left a confused crowd behind her who weren't sure how to react because of her sudden departure.

Iven stared at Sarah’s fleeing back and couldn't help but ask, "Melody, why did your sister act so weird? We can wait for her, even if she needs something with the director, right? It’s hard to take a taxi in this kind of place."

Sarah was indeed acting strange.

Melody could tell from her sister's expression just now.

It didn't look like she had encountered a problem.It was more like she was avoiding something.

But for Melody, she needed to respect Sarah's privacy.

Since she didn’t want to share it with her, Melody wouldn't ask about it.

If Sarah didn’t want to go with them, then there was nothing Melody could do about it.

"Let's go!" Melody said, and Seth followed closely behind.

They both got into the van one after the other.

Iven, who was seriously scared of being left behind, immediately chased them and called out, "Wait for me!"

He knew that with his status, these people would easily abandon him.

As such, he had to act swiftly if he wanted to go with them.

If not, then he might be forced to go home all alone.

As Melody walked away with Seth, Jaz's expression became increasingly irritated.

‘Damn it, my boss actually got stolen by a strange man and didn't get into my car!’ Jaz cursed to himself.

The manager had never seen Jaz care so much about a person on Jaz's side before.

Moreover, after he became a part of this variety program, his reactions seemed to have become more varied than usual.

Such changes were simply shocking! He knew very well that Jaz had a bad temper.

But as his manager, he still needed to understand the things about Jaz clearly.

"Jaz, do you have any feelings for Melody?" The manager asked him. Material © of NôvelDrama.Org.

Jaz turned around to face his manager when he heard his voice.

His initially resentful eyes instantly shifted into something solemn.

His expression became grave.

"Harry, you need to remember that I am willing to sacrifice everything to protect Mellie.She is important to me, and please don't doubt her importance in my heart.Also, you have to remember that you and I cannot have any ideas about her.Because if we do, we will not be able to afford the price that we would have to pay!"

Jaz's serious response made Harry's heart sink.

This was the first time he saw Jaz feel so strongly about someone.

Jaz was one of the top-paid actors in the entertainment circle nowadays.

Harry had a lot of famous stars under his care, but Jaz was different.

This was the first time he saw Jaz being so seriously dedicated to someone, which piqued his interest.

"Is her background really that terrifying?" Harry asked.

Jaz nodded thoughtfully and replied, "Yes."

Harry finally gave up when he saw Jaz’s expression.

Anyway, as long as Jaz didn't plan to develop a relationship with Melody, Harry wouldn't care about anything else.

Jaz was still in the prime of his career, and he had countless fans behind him.If he decided to have a lover at this moment, it would be a fatal blow to his career.

Meanwhile, inside the van...

The moment Melody sat inside the van, she leaned lazily to the corner and rested with her eyes narrowed.

Iven started to get restless when the silence was dragged out for a long time.He coughed up lightly and began to speak.

"Hey, Melody, I've got nothing planned for the next few days.Why don't we go out tomorrow and let's have some fun together?"

Iven offered enthusiastically.

Iven just realized that the quickest way to ask Seth to come out was through Melody.

Seth could only be invited with no hassle if Melody approved it.

Melody, who felt so tired, raised her head and rejected Iven.

"No, thanks!"

She used just those two simple words to refuse him! Seth, who sat beside Iven, totally ignored him.He did not give lven a chance to beg shamelessly.He put down the tablet in his hand and turned his attention to Melody.

"Why is it, Melody? Do you have anything scheduled for tomorrow night?" Seth asked, feeling curious.

Seth's family had many things to do, and it was only recently that he became the head of the family.

As such, there were many things waiting for him to deal with.

Every time he needed to see Melody, he had to squeeze himself out of his family.

"Tomorrow is my grandmother's 70th birthday.I have to be there," Melody replied casually.

Seth nodded and slightly asked, "Can I come with you?"
