As Lucas left the study with a happy Melissa beside him, he met Laura outside.
The princess of the Mertens family gave him a cold look before proceeding to ignore him. However, when she noticed how Melissa seemed scared of her, she was a bit shook.
"How are you?"
Laura smiled at her as she tried to strike a conversation. But Melissa remained quiet and hid behind Lucas.
"I'm sorry for the other day. I really am. It's not my fault." Laura hurriedly apologized, but Melissa was still fearful of her.
Laura sighed and just as she was about to attempt something else, Lucas had already walked past her with Melissa by his side.
"You..."
Laura gritted her teeth but Lucas still ignored her. Regardless of her feelings though, she still followed suit without causing a scene since her father had ordered her to do so.
