Chapter 759


    Lily’s got herself a beau, right? They’re tying the knot by the end of the year,” someone mentioned.


    Lily concurred, “Yes, I am getting married by year-end. Ms. Everhart, you’re in the prime of your youth


    too. Jason is a catch, handsome and all. Good rtionships don’t just fall in yourp, you know.”


    Thssa was taken aback; she hadn’t realized Lily got a boyfriend.


    Being told by her peer, Lily, to seize the opportunity of love, all eyes turned to Thssa, filled with


    anticipation and good-natured teasing.


    Feeling cornered, Thssa hadn’t expected a inpany dinner to be a spectacle before she


    even had her first bite.


    She stole a nce at Jason, who was looking at her with an earnest expression.


    Thssa caught her breath. She realized this wasn’t a joke.


    Jason was using the crowd’s enthusiasm to confess to her in disguise and get her to ept him.


    Thssa picked up her ss of water and took a sip to mask her difort. She could hardly avoid


    responding under so many expectant gazes. Setting down her ss, she responded yfully, “Well,


    our Mr. Ethan is still on the market, and he’s arguably the most handsome guy in ourpany. We’re


    about the same age, so even if nothinges of it, having a fling with such a catch like Ethan in the


    bloom of our youth would make life worthwhile, don’t you think, Mr. Ethan?”


    With a teasing look in her eyes, she turned her gaze to Ethan.


    That’s the oue of him just standing by and doing nothing while she was being pushed into a


    corner.


    After all, it was Ethan who had invited her here. Now she was hounded into an impromptu

    matchmaking session, with him not uttering a single word in her defense. So she would let him bear the


    consequences.


    Ethan twitched his eyebrow. Her defiant gaze lit up a hint of amusement in his eyes.


    Was Thssa trying to push him into the spotlight?


    If Lysander heard this, he might give Ethan a hard time.


    Thssa wasn’t as naive and sweet as she seemed. She was quite adept at setting traps.


    As Thssa finished her remark, everyone’s anticipatory gaze turned into disbelief. They nced at


    Ethan, then quickly looked away, pretending to be engrossed in their food and not care about


    Thssa’s words.


    Thssa sure had guts. She was literally dering her interest in Mr. Ethan in public.


    So she didn’t fancy Jason because she was setting her sights higher; she wanted to be with Mr. Ethan.


    The colleagues all present held their tongues, afraid to draw Mr. Ethan’s attention.


    But Betty’s smile, upon hearing Thssa’s words, froze. Her hand tightened around her ss.


    Thssa was interested in Mr. Ethan too?


    How dare she vie for Mr. Ethan’s attention?


    Betty’s breath hitched. She anxiously looked at Ethan, afraid he might suggest giving it a shot.


    But Ethan just set his ss down. He said as a smile yed on his lips, “I’m a good-looking guy


    indeed, but I’m also way out of your league. You all should focus on your work and stop daydreaming.”


    His teasing words defused the tense atmosphere easily.


    Betty breathed a sigh of relief and decided not to push Thssa to ept Jason. Her smile returned as


    she said, “Let’s get back to our food, folks. The steak is getting cold.”


    Jason withdrew his gaze from Thssa and started eating. Thssa saw his calm expression and


    wondered what he was thinking, but it was none of her business. She didn’t say anything more and


    joined her colleagues in digging into the food.


    “Hey!” Suddenly, someone tapped Thssa’s shoulder from behind.


    Startled, Thssa immediately turned around.
