    reaction he wanted, so he decided not to provoke Nash any further.


    He knew it was not good to rush things. He would just take it slow.


    Tina and Elsabeth, who were eavesdropping, immediately backed away from the door when they heard


    footsteps approaching. They even pretended to talk to each other as if they did not hear the


    conversation.


    Seeing Nash’s stoic expression, both of them knew instantly that


    something was up.


    “Let’s go for lunch, guys!” Melody invited them for lunch.


    She then wrapped her arm around Nash’s arm and asked, “Hey, are you… jealous?”


    Nash scoffed and replied, “Tsk. Why would I get jealous because of


    someone like him?”


    Nash knew Melody had no feelings for ine, but he was still pisse


    off at ine’s alpha male attitude.


    Melody stifled augh as she thought to herself, ‘Well, well.


    Somebody’s jealous, alright. He could’ve just admitted it. He’s so cute!”


    Melody could not help but feel a warm, fuzzy feeling rising in her


    chest.


    The five of them got into the elevator.


    Elsabeth and Austin stood next to each other, whereas Melody held


    hands with Nash.


    Tina felt very much like a third-wheeler as she stood awkwardly


    between them,


    Elsabeth asked suddenly, “Where are we headed for lunch, Melody?”


    Nash replied, “Let’s go to the Empire Hotel. I have two more friends joining us!”

    Recalling that Sienna and Theo were joining them for lunch, Melody nodded and said, “Yeah, sure. The


    Empire Hotel sounds good.”


    Tina chuckled. “Didn’t you guys read the news? The Empire Hotel is fully booked this whole week!”


    Austin chimed in, “Oh please, that’s nothing! Do you know that the person behind this reservation


    bought over the entire business?”


    Stunned, Tina replied, “What? Seriously? Why would the previous owner be willing to sell it off? It’s a


    franchise business!”


    “What do you think? It’s obviously because the person who bought it


    is a big shot!” Austin nced at Nash when he said this.


    He had been guessing who bought the business ever since


    about the news.


    However, Austin got his answer when he heard Nash’s suggesti


    have lunch there.


    Elsabeth stared at Nash with a look of disbelief and asked, “Is it true?


    Are you the one who bought the business?”


    Nash smiled and said, “Well, no…”


    Austin was taken aback. He thought it must have been Nash.


    Nash continued, “It was given to me by a friend!”


    Reaching the first floor, the five of them walked out of the elevator, with Melody and Nash leading in


    front. They were still holding hands. The others trailed behind them.
