Chapter 122

The next day, Thalia slowly opened her eyes.

Her hangover made her head pound mercilessly.

Looking down at the pajamas she was wearing. Thalia was momentarily bewildered.

How had she gotten home last night? Who had changed her clothes?

She only remembered going out for drinks, with Victoria urging her to check out The Dreamboys.

She couldn’t hold her alcohol well and had gotten drunk after just a few glasses.

Vaguely, she recalled thinking she’d seen Asher.

Was it just her imagination?

Reaching under her pillow for her phone, Thalia called Victoria.

The phone rang twice before someone answered.

“Hello?”

Thalia was startled.

“Sebastian? Why are you answering? Where’s Victoria?”

Hearing Thalia’s voice, Sebastian instantly became fully alert.

He had been sleeping peacefully with Victoria in his arms when the phone rang. In his drowsy state, he’d assumed it was his own phone and answered it without thinking.

The realization of what he’d done alarmed him considerably.

Sebastian’s mind raced as he quickly fabricated an excuse. “Victoria left her phone in the downstairs lounge last night. She’s still asleep upstairs in her room. Did you need to speak with her about something?”

Thalia couldn’t yet know about his relationship with Victoria.

He wasn’t concerned about gossip for his own sake.

If word got out, people would merely consider him a ladies‘ man, but for a woman, it would be entirely different.

People would gossip behind Victoria’s back, saying she was shameless for getting involved with how u
