"Oh, damn! He can't really waste his time," Max muttered with a hint of amusement evident in his voice, as Melody spoke about Damien's invitation.
Melody glanced at her phone, as she had just received a text from Damien. With a mix of surprise and intrigue, she read the message again.
"Hi Melody, it's Damien. I hope you're having a good day. I wanted to ask if you'd be interested in joining me for dinner at my mansion tonight. There's something I'd like to discuss with you. Let me know if you're available. - Damien"
"Interesting," Melody murmured to herself, her eyes fixated on the message.
The invitation to dinner was unexpected, yet it held a certain allure that she couldn't ignore. She wondered what Damien had in mind, and a part of her felt a flutter of uneasiness at the thought of spending time with him. She knew that she needed to tread carefully, as the past was still a tangled web of secrets and uncertainties.
