"Evelyn, how about you order for us?" Callum said as he passed the menu to Evelyn.
Evelyn didn't decline. She grabbed the menu and casually ordered a few dishes. While they were waiting, she mentioned she had a stomach ache and excused herself to use the restroom.
At the table, it was just Thalassa and Callum left alone.
In the past, this kind of situation wouldn’t have fazed Thalassa in the slightest, but Callum had just confessed his feelings for her. Because of that revelation, Thalassa couldn't help but feel awkward in front of him. She had never considered the possibility that Callum might like her.
She took a sip from her drink, trying to mask her discomfort.
"Debby’s sentence got reduced. Thank you." Callum suddenly broke the silence.
Thalassa put down her glass. "Don't mention it. You helped me out big time in the past, so I owed you one," she replied, making it clear that she viewed this as settling a debt.
Callum, sharp as ever, got the hint. His smile faltered for a moment but quickly returned. "Helping Debby out was worth breaking my wrist for," he said, lifting his glass to take a sip.
The conversation stalled, and the atmosphere grew a bit tense. Thalassa kept drinking to conceal her embarrassment.
Fortunately, the waiter interrupted them soon by bringing their dishes. "Enjoy your meal," he said politely.
Thalassa noticed there were five dishes instead of the four they ordered. She called out to the waiter, "Excuse me, we only ordered four dishes. Why are there five? Is there a mistake?"
She remembered Evelyn ordering, and there were definitely only four dishes requested.
The waiter, who was about to walk away, came back with a smile. "The extra dish was ordered over the phone by someone for your table."
Ordered over the phone?
Who knew they were dining here and could order for them?
