"No, I had no idea. I knew I was going to be working for him but I didn't know there was a romance ahead," Lucinda explained.
When asked about why Toadie and Melanie have now decided to date, Lucida said that, after working together, the pair have realised how much they like one another and just how similar they are.
"I think through working together they've realised how much they like each other, they both like a laugh and neither is afraid to take the mickey out of themselves or each other," she shared.
As for why Toadie and Melanie want to keep their relationship a secret, she added: "I think there's two reasons… they're working on a big case that involves an office affair, and the defendant needs his legal team to be beyond reproach, so it would be a bad look if anyone found out.
