Thalassa's brow furrowed, puzzled by what Callum meant.
Leopold's intention? What intention could he possibly have?
Before Thalassa could voice her confusion, Callum fixed his gaze on her and continued, "If you're looking to break free from Lysander, I can help you. Whenever you’re in a jam, hit me up. We can team up, collaborating from within and without."
A jolt of surprise shot through Thalassa, her eyes widening in astonishment.
How did he know she was planning to escape from Lysander?
It was a thought she had kept to herself, not breathed a word to anyone. Was she really that transparent?
Seeing her shocked expression, Callum realized he had startled her and explained, "Getting a woman who can catch Lysander's eye, to occupy his time, now that's a cunning plan."
Just moments before at the entrance of the booth, Callum had run into Susan. Clad in a daring, revealing dress, she was holding the bottle of red wine that was originally meant to be delivered by Thalassa, greeting him with a polite smile.
He saw right through her – the woman was clearly aiming for Lysander.
It must have been Thalassa who sent her; otherwise, how could she have gotten her hands on Ethan's private stash from the bar?
Suddenly, it clicked for Thalassa. Callum must have thought that she had deliberately sent Susan in to lure Lysander away.
Thalassa asked, "What did you mean earlier by 'Leopold's intention'?"
Callum met her tense, questioning eyes, paused for a brief two seconds, then looked away, "It's nothing, really. I just wanted you to know that if you're in trouble, you can count on me. I'll be there to help."
She could see hesitation in Callum's eyes, a sign he was hiding something from her, but she couldn't guess what it was.
