"Lily's got herself a beau, right? They're tying the knot by the end of the year," someone mentioned.
Lily concurred, "Yes, I am getting married by year-end. Ms. Everhart, you're in the prime of your youth too. Jason is a catch, handsome and all. Good relationships don't just fall in your lap, you know."
Thalassa was taken aback; she hadn't realized Lily got a boyfriend.
Being told by her peer, Lily, to seize the opportunity of love, all eyes turned to Thalassa, filled with anticipation and good-natured teasing.
Feeling cornered, Thalassa hadn't expected a plain company dinner to become a spectacle before she even had her first bite.
She stole a glance at Jason, who was looking at her with an earnest expression.
Thalassa caught her breath. She realized this wasn't a joke.
Jason was using the crowd's enthusiasm to confess to her in disguise and get her to accept him.
Thalassa picked up her glass of water and took a sip to mask her discomfort. She could hardly avoid responding under so many expectant gazes.
Setting down her glass, she responded playfully, "Well, our Mr. Ethan is still on the market, and he's arguably the most handsome guy in our company. We're about the same age, so even if nothing comes of it, having a fling with such a catch like Ethan in the bloom of our youth would make life worthwhile, don't you think, Mr. Ethan?"
With a teasing look in her eyes, she turned her gaze to Ethan.
That’s the outcome of him just standing by and doing nothing while she was being pushed into a corner.
After all, it was Ethan who had invited her here. Now she was hounded into an impromptu matchmaking session, with him not uttering a single word in her defense. So she would let him bear the consequences.
Ethan twitched his eyebrow. Her defiant gaze lit up a hint of amusement in his eyes.
Was Thalassa trying to push him into the spotlight?
