Sophia Sutton smiled and shielded Iris Harris behind her, "No need. I've already had dinner."
"..." Melody Nelson's beautiful eyes darted slightly, catching the silhouette of the woman blocked by Sophia Sutton. She stepped forward, curiously asking, "Are you bringing a friend out for dinner, Sophia? Who is it? Why do I feel like I haven't seen her before?"
Sophia felt cold sweat drip down her face; why is this young lady so nosy today?
She awkwardly laughed, "Someone you don't know. Miss Melody, I'm heading back, you go on and have your dinner."
Melody stared at the person covered by Sophia, pondered briefly, and suddenly reached out to grab the other's shoulder, pulling her out from behind Sophia.
Seeing Iris's face, Melody's expression subtly changed, and she murmured quietly, "...It's you!"
Iris looked at her, baffled, and turned to Sophia in confusion, only to see Sophia with a look of regret and helplessness.
