It was Mason Reed, Drake’s friend–and the same one who’d expressed sympathy for Thalia that night at

the party.

After knowing him for nearly three years, Thalia had always found Mason to be one of the more decent ones in Drake’s circle.

“Just picking up some things,” she replied.

Mason glanced at the shopping bag in her hand. “A gift for Drake?”

Finding it easier than explaining, Thalia simply nodded.

“That watch… even their basic models run like fifteen grand. You don’t need to spend that kind of money

on him, Drake is-”

He’s not worth it, Mason thought.

Drake had straight–up admitted he couldn’t get over Sienna, that Thalia was just a replacement.

Last night, he’d humiliated Thalia by leaving the party with Sienna, right in front of everyone.

What Thalia didn’t know–but Mason did–was that Drake and Sienna had spent the night together at the

Four Seasons. Their social circle had a private WhatsApp group that Thalia had never been invited to join in three years, yet Sienna was added the moment she got back to New York.

That afternoon, Sienna had “accidentally” posted a photo of them in bed, with some BS caption about keeping memories. She’d deleted it within a minute, but Mason had seen it.

He’d wanted to say something but held back. Best to stay out of that drama.

Mason almost told Thalia the truth but changed his mind. “Look, Drake doesn’t need expensive gifts. You

shouldn’t drop several months‘ salary on him.”

After all, Drake was his boy from college. Fifteen years of friendship meant something.

He’d wanted to add that Drake probably wouldn’t even appreciate a gift that cost Thalia months of her salary from her law firm.

But that was too harsh to say out loud.
