Chapter 50 Throwing Off the Plan

“It’s really no big deal,” Jean said, tilting her head. “I’m not doing anything anyway.”

Without waiting for a reply, she stepped forward-

Moving right up to Thomas, she casually leaned in, blocking part of his view with her body, and in a flash–so fast it almost blurred–she swapped the positions of several wine glasses.

Thomas squeezed in next to her, his expression a little anxious.

“Did you

The second he said it, he realized his tone was off–way too harsh.

After all, this was Dominic’s little sister.

He quickly reeled himself in and forced a smile. “I mean… you didn’t move them, right?”

As he spoke, his eyes darted between the glasses on the table.,

Jean didn’t leave. She stayed right where she was, watching every single move he made.

As expected, when Thomas reached the special glass, he poured in the wine and then handed it straight to Dominic.

She’d called it.

Dominic took the glass and lifted it to his lips, taking a sip without a second thought.

Across the table, Thomas and Selena exchanged quick glances, their eyes gleaming faintly with something darker.

Hook, line, and sinker.

Thomas visibly relaxed. Now that the key move was made, the rest was smooth sailing. He casually poured wine into the rest of the glasses.

Jean stepped in, offering to help pass them out. She handed each one to the guests with a sweet smile.

And then–there was only one glass left.

Jean picked it up and paused for just a second,

Suddenly, Selena snatched it right out of her hands.

“What, you planning to keep this one for yourself?” she said with a mocking little laugh, her tone full of snide condescension.

“Too bad, kid. You’re not even old enough to drink.”
