However, I'd prefer if you didn't let my family know about your identity for now." Melody was worried that Helen and Ethan might get greedy if they found out about Lucas' identity. That would only make things more troublesfor her.
"Sure," replied Lucas without hesitation.

Melody hastily stood up and called out. "Wait! Um... So what's next? What am I supposed to do?" "Edmund will take care of the rest," said Lucas. After that, he went straight upstairs.
Melody pursed her lips and thought, 'What a taciturn man!' She then opened the door and stepped outside, where Edmund was patiently waiting. He gave her a polite nod and a friendly smile.
"Um, Mister Lucas toldto find you. He mentioned you'd take care of things for me?" said Melody. Edmund nodded, pulled out a folder from the car, and handed it to her.
"Mister Lucas askedto set up snewlywed essentials for you. Here's the list I cup with. Take a look, and letknow if there's anything else you need." Melody accepted the folder which covered everything a girl might need in her daily life, right down to sanitary pads.
"Looks good. Nothing's missing. That should be enough," she said.
"Perfect," Edmund responded without any surprise. He was known for his meticulousness in most things, except perhaps what happened yesterday." Miss Melody, I'll drive you back to the Sanders' residence so you can pack your things." Melody nodded and settled into Edmund's car. She started spacing out as she stared at the flowing scenes outside the window. All of a sudden, she spotted the bar from the previous night.
'That's right. Wendy purposely gotdrunk at that bar last night. Maybe the surveillance cameras there caught something...' mused Melody.

Normally, Edmund did not take orders from just anyone. However, since Melody was Lucas' wife for the coming one year, she was equivalent to his boss. Thus, he figured her requests were worth listening to when they were not too outlandish.
"Miss Melody, please callEdmund." "Oh... Okay, Edmund." Edmund parked the car in the parking lot of the bar and entered the bar with her.
The bartender noticed them entering and quickly approached, saying,m Sorry, the bar's not open yet. We're still cleaning up."
"We're not here to drink. I lost something here yesterday and m wanted to check the surveillance footage from last night," Melody explained. The bartender looked uneasy. "I'm sorry, but we can't just show our surveillance footage to anyone.' Anticipating the pushback, Melody turned to Edmund with a pleading look for help.
Edmund caught her gaze and quickly got the message. "I'm the personal assistant to the president of Rivera Group: If you can't make the decision, please get your boss."
