Chapter 18: She Was Not Familiar with Him

Chapter 18: She Was Not Familiar with Him 

Melody stopped and she turned around to face her father.The way she looked at Quince hardly heldany warmth.Quince couldn't understand the feeling he had the moment Melody turned around.His heartbegan to beat rapidly like he was palpitating.But it was familiar.Quince felt this before when he waslooking at an angry Alistair.

Melody stared at him without saying anything.Her eyes were tightly knitted together.

"What is it?" She asked coldly in a low tone.

Her voice pulled Quince back into his senses.

"You know Mr.David? How come I've never heard you mention it before?"

Before Quince finished his question, Melody cut him off with her words.

"Unfamiliar!"

She wasn't that close with Mr.David.

All they had was an ordinary relationship.

Quince wanted to say something else, but now it was stuck in his throat.

He had no other way but to change it.

"Then why did you communicate so well with him?"

"He knew Alistair, and he brought him along once"

Melody made an excuse to save her from all the trouble.

"So that's why, Quince nodded, seeming to have understood.Quince's father was popular andresourceful with his connections.It wasn't surprising that he knew Mr.David.Quince wanted to ask morequestions, but Melody already left.He couldn't stop himself from shouting at her.”

Melody was nothing more than a village girl.

Quince was sure of it.

There was nothing special about her.There was nothing more to it.

When Melody returned to her room, she received a call from Luke.Melody pressed the answer button,and Luke's voice appeared from the other end of the call.

He was younger than her, but when he spoke, he would always lower his voice on purpose.

"Boss, Johnson is here!"

"Where is he?"

Melody Sullivan frowned slightly when she heard it.

Johnson was a traitor in their organization.

Because of a member's negligence, he secretly stole a chip and ran away.

There were many things inside the chip.

It wasn't a big deal for Melody, but if it was sold to a criminal by Johnson, there could be a huge uproar.

"We must capture Johnson to get the chip back" Melody declared.

The sound of Luke's fingers tapping on the keyboard could be heard from his end of the call.

After a few seconds, Luke could be heard again.

"Boss, it's legit.Joseph going to a bar called "Minx" in California tonight.I will send someone over rightnow.We'll definitely bring this brat back tonight!"

"No need!" Melody snapped and continued to shock to Luke.

"I'll go by myself!"

"Boss, you've got to be kidding." Luke sounded shocked.

Melody didn't give him a chance to comment on anything else and hung up.

Luke was already used to her doing that.He clutched the phone that he called Melody from and feltgiddy inside.

His boss was going to catch someone! His boss hadn't done anything in a while, and so he wasexcited! Luke really wanted to go over and see his boss.

But even if he wanted to, it was such a pity that Luke could only watch the live broadcast from thesurveillance cameras of the Minx bar.
