The man promptly extended his hand to block Melody's path when he saw her attempt to walk around him. "Don't be in such a hurry to leave. That's just plain rude. I'm just helping you out of the kindness of my heart. Don't just ignorelike that."

She believed that she had spoken in as polite a manner as possible, but the man seemed to misunderstand her and grow angry. "Who is he? Tell me!" 'Tm under no obligation to tell you that." Melody tried to avoid engaging in a conversation with that man, but he continued to block her way. Melody's expression soured and she asked with a sigh, "What do you want from me?"

He helped her stand steadily and said, "Are you alright?" Melody cback to her senses and was stunned to see a familiar figure.
The man who helped Melody up raised his eyes and said coldly, "I'm her friend. Do you need something from her?" The man who tried to hit on Melody immediately stopped his overbearing attitude. He shrugged and sheepishly left while holding the glass of wine.
