Tea spilled from the cup, soaking into the carpet and leaving a wet stain.

Sebastian stared at the cup and clicked his tongue.

“Mate, don’t worry. Thalia’s not the sort to jump into anything like that.”

Asher seemed dazed. “She really agreed?” he asked, his voice hoarse.

Sebastian paused before answering, “Look, on New Year’s Eve, you know what happened. She saw you with Laurina, who suggested you two get a room together. If it were me, I’d be utterly gutted too. Thalia probably only agreed to wind you up, or perhaps she was sloshed and talking rubbish. I wouldn’t read too much into it.”

“I didn’t…” Asher’s voice tightened, “I never said anything about getting a room.”

“Your cousin did. Same difference, innit?”

A moment of silence fell between them.

Asher composed himself and said, “I need you to do something for me.”

Just as Thalia was leaving Sinclair & Klein after work, she spotted a white McLaren parked nearby.

Sebastian was leaning against the car, looking at his phone, apparently waiting for someone.

Given the time and location, he was likely waiting for her. Thalia walked over, and Sebastian looked up, greeting her with a smile as he approached.

“Thalia! Finished at last, have you?”

“Sebastian, were you looking for me?” Thalia glanced behind him. “Where’s Victoria? Not with you today?”

Sebastian replied, “Nah, I’ve come on my own. Need to have a word with you about something.”

“What about?”

“Well, about New Year’s Eve. I was a proper muppet for inviting Asher, and it ruined everyone’s evening, I wanted to apologize properly. I’ve booked a table–fancy joining me for dinner?”

Thalia frowned slightly. “That’s really not necessary, Sebastian. I understand–water under the bridge. I’ll pass on dinner, I’m afraid. I’ve got plans this evening.”
