Chapter 332
Soon, Melody returned, looking dejected. It was clear she was still upset about Gabriel’s refusal to accompany her to the jewelry auction.
Gabriel smiled gently and said, “Melody, I’ve been thinking about it. Since I’m free that day too, I’ll go with you after all.”
Melody’s eyes lit up with a hint of disbelief. “Really?”
“Yes,” Gabriel replied, his gaze warm and soft. “Since I got the tickets for you, it’s only fair I accompany you if Nyla isn’t going.”
“That’s great! I’ll see you at the auction then!” Melody exclaimed.
“I’ll pick you up from your place,” Gabriel said.
Melody was momentarily taken aback.
Gabriel’s change in attitude seemed a bit sudden, but she didn’t dwell on it. She was confident that spending time alone with him would increase her chances of winning his affection.
“Okay, I’ll send you the address later,” she agreed.
The entire afternoon, Melody chatted with Nyla about Gabriel, asking about his past and his preferences in
women.
“Nyla, what kind of outfit do you think I should wear to the auction?” she asked.
Nyla thought for a moment. Since the auction was a relatively private event, she said, “Just wear something casual. You don’t need to dress too formally.”
Private, smaller auctions typically weren’t as grand as larger ones, and attendees usually dressed comfortably.
“Got it. What color does your brother like?” Melody continued.
Nyla sighed and handed her a reagent tube. “How would I know? If you really want to know, you can ask him directly. Focus on your work–these next steps are important, so don’t get distracted.”
Melody nodded. “Okay.”
After Nyla’s reminder, Melody diligently worked until the end of the day, not mentioning Gabriel again.
In the evening, as they finished their experiments and left the lab, they saw Gabriel standing nearby.
When he spotted Melody, he smiled and asked, “Melody, do you have time tonight? Let’s have dinner together.”
“Oh? Y–Yes, I do! Give me a moment to change!” she replied, her excitement evident.
“Sure, take your time,” Gabriel said.
Melody hurried to her office, leaving Nyla and Gabriel alone at the lab door.
Nyla gave Gabriel a casual nod before heading to her office. As soon as she stepped inside, Melody pulled her aside.
“How do I look, Nyla? Is my makeup okay?” Melody asked, her eyes wide with anticipation.
