Chapter 88: Loss is Not in My Dictionary

Melody was awakened by hunger.

The sky outside was already dark as she opened her eyes.

Even though there was no sound in the quiet room, Melody could sense that someone was there.

She had always been observant and had never missed anything.

A deep, mesmerizing voice emerged from the darkness.

"Are you awake?"

"Yes, lam awake” Melody responded in a good way, which was unusual for her.

"Click!"

The light was turned on in the room.

Seeing that Melody had just woken up, Seth made sure the light wasn't too bright.

Melody felt an inexplicable sense of comfort in the dim light.When she was woken up, she usually feltgrumpy.But today, she felt that there was no problem at all.

"Should we eat first, or should we talk first?" the man asked.

Melody wasn't interested in guessing what this man wanted to discuss with her.

She believed that if things didn't involve a lot of thinking, she would rather not use her brain asmuch.She could only let her brain have enough rest to help her concentrate more on the things thatactually need thinking.

"What are we going to talk about?" she exclaimed coldly as she made a decision.

"It's been about half a month since we talked about the Sullivan Family, and you haven't done anythingelse except fire a financial manager.There are two and a half months left.Can you make it in time?" theman smiled and asked softly.

Melody carefully rose from her bed and stood beside it.Her beautiful, slim legs were just as confidentas her demeanor.An evil smile came on her face as she turned her head to face Seth.

"Did you investigate me?"

"Ha! My people will never lose!" Seth grinned slightly, his face composed.

‘His people?’ Melody's arrogant face was adorned with an evil and wanton smile as she raised hereyebrows and glared at him.

Her stare was extremely cold, but it gave the impression that it was normal, as if things should havebeen this way.

"Don't worry.I don't have the term ‘loss’ in my dictionary!"

"I'm hungry!"

Seth was about to speak when she abruptly cut him off.

The cold and emotionless words softened the heart of the cold and emotionless man.

"At your age, it's easy for you to get hungry, so I've already asked the kitchen to prepare dinner, and I'lltake you there right now!"

The man reached out and grabbed Melody's hand again when he finished speaking and pulled heraway.

Melody frowned.

Her indifferent expression revealed a hint of displeasure ‘What?’

‘Are you hooked on it?’ He wasn't pleased with himself for touching her without her permission.

Nevertheless, it felt pretty nice to be held hands with and to be pulled to walk.

Melody had always followed her own principle of not sitting when she could lie down and not standingwhen she could sit.She would do whatever would make herself feel comfortable.

Since she felt at ease to be held hands with, she might as well comply with him.Seth escorted Melodyto the living room, and then she saw a sorrowful and aggrieved Lance.

The birthday celebration had already ended.

Lance waited for his boss to be led downstairs by his uncle after more than two hours.

It was enough time for everything to happen in these two hours.

The boss paid him a personal visit to wish him a happy birthday.

‘How could uncle take her away?’ He was furious, and his heart was pounding.

But it was his uncle, Seth, who had arrived.There was no way for him to challenge him, so he had nochoice but to stop.

Now that he had seen Melody, he could no longer contain his rage and yelled, "Boss!"

Austin was on the verge of collapsing.

‘What was the matter with them all?’ One had to know that, in his opinion, Lance had always been theold man's favorite.

Lance, the youngest member of the Harrison family, had always been favored by Benjamin, makinghim very arrogant.

Moreover, he had reached adolescence and was somewhat rebellious.

No one could ask Austin to do this and do that in his entire family, except Melody.

He was now acting like a baby in front of Melody!

‘Would Melody be the curse of the Harrison family?’ ‘Both of them were bewitched by Melody?’ Shefrowned as she heard the shout from Lance and turned her head to face him.

"What is it?"

Lance appeared to be wronged.He wanted to complain, but he immediately swallowed his words whenhe saw Seth behind him.His uncle's stare was too frightening.It was preferable if he didn't confront him.

"No, I only want to ask if Boss had a good rest?" he could only shake his head silently.

"It wasn't bad!" Melody replied faintly.

If it weren't for Melody sensing that Lance was in a bad mood, she would have just ignored it.

"Let's all head out to dine" Melody took the initiative to invite him, and the gloom in Lance's heartdissipated almost immediately.

Melody was quite pleasant.She even invited him to supper.She had chatted with him a lot more today.

Lance had entirely forgotten that he was the Harisson Family's youngest son and that this was hisfamily.When he arrived at the dining area, he noticed a table piled high with Italian food.

Lance was unconcerned.His boss liked spicy food, and he could eat it.He raised his head and fixed hisgaze on his uncle, who sat motionlessly.

Lance's heart swelled with adoration.

Seth was, indeed, something else.He treated himself so hard The entire Harrison family knew that Sethdidn't eat spicy cuisine.He was injured in a car accident and had a stomach injury when he was young.

He then began to strictly control his diet.

Lance was not disturbed after witnessing his uncle serve a full table of Italian food to Melody.Instead,he thought his boss was far too powerful.

Austin seemed to have completely forgotten that he was part of the Harisson family.

Melody was stuffed after the meal.She was ready to depart after resting for a while on the table.

Lance leaped to his feet as soon as he saw her rise up, his cheeks flushed with hesitation.

"Are you leaving now, boss?" Melody returned his stare and nodded.

She then turned around to face Seth.

"I will go on my own."

He was implying that he would decline Seth's invitation.

Seth didn't mince words when he said, "Be careful on your trip!"

Melody turned around and walked away, unconcerned.

People's hearts and thoughts were drawn to her slender body.

Lance felt that Melody's departure had made the Harrison residence lifeless.

"How wonderful it would be if the boss could live here in the future!" he couldn't help but sigh.

Seth happened to walk past him.He stroked him on the shoulder and said, "There will be a chancel"with surprising assurance.

Lance was taken aback and unable to react quickly enough.

Seth had already vanished by the time he reacted.

"My boss had too many guys to choose from" he remarked vehemently, gesturing at the air.

"Who says it has to be you!" he exclaimed.

In front of his boss, even his uncle, Lance, was firm.He would always be supportive of his boss!
