Thalassa and Hertha turned around There stood a man sporting a crisp short haircut and decked out in a British suit His handsome face radiated an aristocratic aura, his charisma second to none.
It was Leopold!
Upon seeing Leopold, Thalassa frowned, puzzled why he seemed to always pop up around her.
Herthaâs eyes lit up. She hadnât expected Leopold to show up!
Normally, running into old classmates should be a happy occasion, but recalling how Leopold had love d Thalassa so deeply, yet betrayed her and even had an affair with Thalassaâs cousin Isabella, Hertha didnât have a good impression on Leopold.
Debby instantly got up, a flattering smile plastered on her face, âLeopold, youâre here too. Weâre so luck y to bump into you here.â
Debbyâs crush on Leopold hadnât faded, and seeing him got her all excited. Her attitude towards him w as a far cry from how she treated Thalassa Leopold, however, didnât even spare Debby a glance. He went straight to Thalassaâs side with a gentle smile on his face.
The barâs neon lights played across his handsome face, illuminating his smile, and making it even more dazzling.
âThalassa, what a coincidence. We meet again.â Leopoldâs eyes were all for Thalassa He reached out his hand, attempting to hold Thalassaâs.
Thalassa deftly dodged.
With one hand on Herthaâs arm and the other around her shoulder, both Thalassaâs hands were occupied.
Thalassa kept her distance with a forced smile, âWeâre all classmates, itâs fate that brought us all here.â
Hertha nodded, âExactly.â
Leopold understood that Thalassa was rejecting him, because her attitude towards him remained cold.
His smile turned bitter, âThalassa, what should I do for you to forgive me?â
Debby had been chasing after Leopold with everything she had, but he never reciprocated, and now Th alassa even dared to openly reject him.
Although Debby couldnât win Leopold over, she didnât want to see him hurt.
Debby felt disgruntled. She sneered at Thalassa, âWho do you think you are, a country bumpkin withou t a background, what right do you have to embarrass others? Leopold being nice to you is a blessing. Wha t could he possibly do that you canât forgive?â
Hearing this, Thalassa felt extremely uncomfortable. She laughed, âWho loves to butt in again?â
Debby was taken aback. She realized Thalassaâs words were a dig at her! She snapped, âI bet youâll sp end your whole life as a nobody and forever stuck in the same place!â
Leopold glared at Debby. âShut up!â
Hertha had long been fed up with Debbyâs mockery of Thalassa. She snorted, âDebby, sounds like youâre just jealous. Just so you know, Thalassa has a boyfr iend now, and heâs way better than Leopold.â
Leopoldâs eyes darkened at Herthaâs words. Shock and pain washed over him.
He looked at Thalassa. Thalassa had a boyfriend?
Debby scoffed in disbelief, âStop showing off for nothing. Who could possibly be better than Leopold? Iâ
m actually curious. Who is Thalassaâs boyfriend?â
Hertha was fed up with Debbyâs condescending attitude, âIâm afraid once I tell you, youâll be shocked.â
Thalassa had a bad feeling. She discreetly tugged at Herthaâs sleeve, signaling her to stop.
But Hertha was too excited to notice her warning.
âSpit it out then. Debby taunted.
Hertha stood tall and proud, âThalassaâs boyfriend is none other than the CEO of the Sinclair group, Lysander! How about that, scar ed you, didnât I?â
Hertha laughed triumphantly.
Thalassa choked a bit. Why did Hertha have to spill everything?
The people around the table started to roast
