He was still the same old Bruce, a man of insatiable greed and without a shred of moral restraint!
He could just exploit and threaten anyone he wanted!
For his own gain, he could disregard everyone else.
"I've told you I have nothing to do with Lysander and won't marry him! You can forget about it!" Thalassa said, her voice seething with anger. She jumped up from her seat and walked away.
"Ahh!" Just as she was leaving, a waiter was bringing coffee over, and Thalassa, in her hurry, knocked it from his hand.
It spilled everywhere.
The scalding coffee soaked through her clothes, searing her skin and eliciting a scream. She instinctively stepped back.
"How could you be so careless? You've burnt her!" Bruce jumped up from his seat as well, his face red and his veins bulging as he berated the waiter.
"I'm sorry, I'm so sorry, it was an accident. Please go to the restroom and rinse it off with cold water," the waiter stammered, hastily dabbing at the coffee stains on her dress as he kept apologizing.
Bruce also stepped forward.
Thalassa recoiled, not wanting Bruce anywhere near her.
"I'm fine," she assured the waiter.
She moved her chair to block Bruce's approach, skirted around it, and walked out a different way.
She couldn't bear being in the same space as Bruce even just for one sec.
No sooner had Thalassa left the café than Bruce followed her out. He held a napkin in his hand and attempted to dab at the coffee stains on her dress. "Look at you, you're covered in coffee. Let me help you clean up."
He moved the napkin around her dress.
Thalassa shrank away, refusing his help, "No need. Just stay away from me!"
