The Billionaire's Secret Quartet

Even the sudden engagement to Rosalind went without explanation.

Right, what status did she hold, anyway? She wasn't anybody to Lysander, why would he feel the need to explain anything to her?

Thalassa snapped back from her gloomy thoughts, catching Callum's soft gaze on her. She blinked away her sorrow, tucking away her emotions, and said to Callum, "Mr. Gordon, your tea's ready. It's at the perfect temperature now."

Though she kept her tone polite, Callum noticed the puffiness of her eyes, aware she had been crying, clearly heartbroken.

But why?

It must be because of the engagement news between Lysander and Rosalind today.

In that moment, Callum realized, Lysander meant more to Thalassa than she let on, more than she admitted to having feelings for him.

Callum hid his own flurry of emotions, offering a small smile, "Alright, I'll have it then."

Thalassa quickly turned to serve Hertha and Alaric as well.
