Chapter 1214


    "Alright, I’m in," Susan blurted out without a second thought.


    She had braced herself for some outrageous demand, and now felt a wave of relief wash over her.


    Even if Callum hadn''t mentioned it, she would''ve moved heaven and earth to sabotage Thssa and


    Lysander''s rtionship and drive a wedge between them!


    Only with Thssa out of the picture could Susan have a shot at standing by Lysander''s side.


    Callum''s lips curled into a smirk. "You can go now," he said to Susan.


    "That''s it? You haven''t even told me how you''re going to help me," Susan said, her confusion evident.


    Callum, leaning on his cane, rose to his feet and walked away without another nce at Susan. "I only


    work with smart people."


    Susan was about to follow him, but his words rooted her to the spot. She was afraid that saying


    anything more might make her look foolish in his eyes.


    But with Callum leaving her without any hints, just a promise to help her win Lysander, she felt lost.


    What was supposed to be her next move?


    ...


    Thssa was getting ready to leave work when her phone rang – it was from Hertha.


    She quickly picked up the call, eager to hear what her friend had to say.


    "Thssa, guess how my blind date turned out?" Hertha couldn''t wait to tell her as soon as Thssa


    answered.


    "No idea," Thssa replied. "Just spill it, will you?"


    "Well, I was all set to tell my mom to gently reject Spencer, but before I could even open my mouth,


    she''s telling me how much Spencer likes me. He called her, said he felt a connection, and now he''s


    nning to visit in a few days to formally ask for my hand. My mom''s over the moon,ughing in her

    sleep with joy. How am I supposed to break it to her now?"


    Hertha was distressed.


    She had intended for her mother to turn Spencer down, but now, Spencer had seized the initiative.


    If she tried to tell her mother now that she wasn''t feeling it and wanted to reject Spencer, her mom


    would probably twist her ear, use her of not knowing a good thing when she saw it, and threaten to


    disown her.


    Hertha chickened out and didn''t speak up.


    "Then what are you going to do? Just wait for Spencer toe asking?" Thssa asked, trying to


    make her friend understand the gravity of the situation.


    "If you say you''re not into him now, it''s easier to call it quits. But once he''s made an official move, it''s


    much more difficult. Ending it then will cause more gossip and hurt for both of you."


    "I get it, I do. I want Spencer to be the one to tell my mom it''s not working out and to bow out


    graciously." Hertha knew the score. She was calling Thssa to figure out a good n.


    Thssa wanted to be there for her friend, but remembering Lysander''s reaction the day before, she


    hesitated.


    "Hertha, I don''t think I can be there for you today, especially not to meet another guy," Thssa said


    with regret but feltpelled to be honest with her friend.


    "What? Why?" Hertha was truly baffled.


    It was clear that Lysander was on a vengeful purpose to make Thssa to apologize.
