Edward's expression remained unchanged, obviously unmoved by her words.
He pushed Melody's arm away. "I don't want to waste Miss Sanders' time. You should know very well that I already have someone I like."
"Don't lie to me. How could you like that woman, Jeanne? She is just an excuse for you to reject me."
"I'm not that bored."
"I won't believe it!" Melody insisted.
"Whether you believe it or not is your business. I don't care." Edward did not even look at Melody. He stood up and was about to leave.
"Edward." Melody was a little choked up. "Even if you don't like me, I am still a member of Sanders. You should do your part and listen to my arrangements."
Edward's eyes moved slightly.
"When I'm in the Swans' territory, shouldn't you do your duty as a host? Or should I tell my father that the Swans no longer take the Sanders seriously?"
Edward turned his head and saw Eden, who was just puking his guts out in the toilet.
