Lucas' gaze once again fell onto Melody's slender legs.
Feeling his stare, Melody quickly sat back down and covered her thighs. "Uh, I can explain...but where are my clothes? Can I please change back into my own clothes?"
Melody could not fathom why, given that nothing happened, she woke up naked in bed. Plus, she had searched the entire room and could not find her clothes anywhere. "You had too much to drink last night, and you puked all over me. So both your clothes and mine are in the wash," said Lucas.
He then pointed to the white shirt she was wearing. "The shirt you have on now is a new one the hotel provided for me."
Melody looked down at the white shirt and felt even more awkward. "Oh, sorry. I couldn't find my clothes earlier, so I just put this on." Melody would have taken the shirt off immediately if she had another one. However, she could not find any other clothing anywhere.
"By the way, with such a low alcohol tolerance, drinking alone with a man does leave room for some misunderstandings," said Lucas.
Melody got the point without Lucas explicitly stating it. In fact, she would not have ended up drinking alone with a man if it were not for the relentless calls from her family. She lowered her head in shame and tugged at the blanket covering her.
"Lucas, could you please have the hotel send over my clothes? I can return yours to you then."
"Sure." Lucas called the hotel service and gave them Melody's size accurately.
'How does Lucas know my size so well? Did he see it yesterday?' The thought made her blush involuntarily again.
After hanging up the phone, Lucas maintained his usual aloofness while staring at Melody.
"Melody, are you in need of money?"
"What?" Melody suddenly looked up, nodding but immediately shaking her head. "Well, I am a bit short on cash, but I won't be anymore after you pay me."
"If money isn't an issue, then why are you doing this?"
Melody could tell he must have misunderstood what happened yesterday. She quickly explained, "It's not like that. My parents tricked me into coming here to meet Mister William for the sake of my sister. I thought they'd come with me, but it turned out they had planned to bail on me all along."
"Tricked? By your own parents?" Even Lucas found the situation pretty baffling.
