Because You Are My Lady

Chapter 15

In the university.

When Melody went into the classroom and sat down on a chair, no one around her noticed her. They lowered their heads and glued their eyes on their mobile phones, fiddling it as if they were obsessed by the little illuminating tool.

The teacher was giving a lecture in class. Melody lowered her voice and asked, "Sharon?"

Sharon came to her senses and looked relieved to see it was Melody who was calling her. "You scared me. I thought the teacher was asking me a question."

Melody frowned. "What are you doing?"

"Submitting my resume."

"Are you looking for a job?"

"Yes. The summer break is coming soon, so I thought I'd submit my resumes and job applications and see if I could get a job."

"Have you found any?"

Sharon pocketed her mobile phone and cupped her chin with one hand, donning a yearning look. Tve just submitted. Now, I'm waiting for them to call."

Some kind of brilliance radiated on her dreamy face that was particularly attractive. Melody smiled and said, "Good luck."

Sharon nodded with a smile, acknowledging her good friend's kind gesture.

Melody glanced around and squinted oddly when she saw Sharon's neck. "Sharon, what's wrong with you here?"

As she spoke, she reached out and wanted to pull Sharon's collar.

Sharon stealthily held her collar and changed the subject. "Don't you think there were a lot of mosquitoes last night? I was bitten all over my body. It is so itching today!"

Melody frowned. "Were there mosquitoes last night?"

"Yes, a lot. Don't you know? Well, I'm so poor I can't even afford the mosquito repellent, so I can only sacrifice my body to feed the mosquitos. It's so heartrending."

Melody was stunned.

She knew about Sharon's family situation, albeit briefly. Sharon's father had an accident two years ago, and since then, he was in the hospital, unconscious. The costly medical expenses became such a huge burden on Sharon's shoulder that she could hardly breathe. From then on, Sharon lived frugally and would not spend money unnecessarily.

There were very few girls at her age who lived such a hard life but never complaint.

Melody sighed and said nothing.

Sharon quietly wiped her cold sweat and felt ashamed at the same time. It didn't seem nice to lie to Melody like that but she had no choice.

There was no way she could tell Melody that she had slept with a man last night and those lovebites all over her body were his doing.

If she spilled the beans, Melody would definitely not let her go until she got the truth.

When the class was over, Sharon's cell phone rang. It was an unknown number. She thought that it was a call regarding her job application, so she grinned happily.

"Goddess, my first job is coming!"

"Great, answer the call, quick," said Melody, amused.

"Okay."

Sharon answered it, feeling a little nervous. "Hello..."

Melody looked at her with a smile. Melody didn't know what the person on the other end of the line said, but Sharon seemed a little stiff for a moment after listening, and then she quickly composed herself and said, "Really? Are you really hiring me? That's awesome. I'll be there soon!"

Melody narrowed her eyes, feeling that something was amiss from her reaction.

Sharon pocketed her mobile phone and grinned. "It's a call from the company. They want me to go there now. I have to go now. Wait for my good news!"

With that, before Melody could say anything, she left like a gust of wind.

Melody frowned, feeling that something was really off. The look on Sharon's face when she was talking on the phone was peculiar. After being friends for so many years, she could easily detect a flicker of dismay in her eyes.

On second thought, Melody decided to follow her to see what happened.
