Chapter 1261
“Evelyn, how about you order for us?” Callum said as he passed the menu to
Evelyn.
Evelyn didn't decline. She grabbed the menu and casually ordered a few dishes.
While they were waiting, she mentioned she had a stomach ache and excused
herself to use the
restroom.
At the table, it was just Thalassa and Callum left alone.
In the past, this kind of situation wouldn't have fazed Thalassa in the slightest,
but Callum had just confessed his feelings for her. Because of that revelation,
Thalassa couldn't help but feel awkward in front of him. She had never
considered the possibility that Callum might like her.
She took a sip from her drink, trying to mask her discomfort.
“Debby’s sentence got reduced. Thank you.” Callum suddenly broke the silence.
Thalassa put down her glass. “Don’t mention it. You helped me out big time in the
past, so I owed you one,” she replied, making it clear that she viewed this as
settling a debt.
Callum, sharp as ever, got the hint. His smile faltered for a moment but quickly
returned. “Helping Debby out was worth breaking my wrist for,” he said, lifting his
glass to take a
sip.
The conversation stalled, and the atmosphere grew a bit tense. Thalassa kept
drinking to
conceal her embarrassment.
Fortunately, the waiter interrupted them soon by bringing their dishes. “Enjoy your
meal,” he said politely.
Thalassa noticed there were five dishes instead of the four they ordered. She
called out to the waiter, “Excuse me, we only ordered four dishes. Why are there
five? Is there a mistake?”
She remembered Evelyn ordering, and there were definitely only four dishes
requested.
The waiter, who was about to walk away, came back with a smile. “The extra dish
was ordered over the phone by someone for your table.”
Ordered over the phone?
Who knew they were dining here and could order for them?
Thalassa was puzzled and looked at the five dishes. Four were what Evelyn had
ordered, but the extra dish was a plate of deep-fried salty fish, which gave off a
pungent smell.
Who would be so nosy as to order them a salty fish?
Curious, Thalassa asked the waiter, “Can you tell us who made the order?”

“It was an anonymous call, for Callum Gordon, the waiter replied.
For Callum?
Thalassa glanced at Callum, who looked just as confused as she did. Clearly, he
had no clue what was going on.
Was someone insinuating that Callum was a “salty fish’ who would never
succeed?
“Anything else I can assist you with?” the waiter asked, seeing that there were no
further questions.
“No, thank you,” Thalassa said.
“Mr. Gordon, have you managed to rub someone the wrong way here?” Thalassa
inquired. Callum responded, “I only arrived in Eldoria yesterday. I went to the
hospital to get my wound checked, and today I came here to relax a bit. I haven't
really met anyone who would order for me.”
Thalassa shrugged. “That's curious then.”
Evelyn returned and noticed the plate of salty fish, puzzled. “Who ordered this?
Someone's into pickled food?”
Pickled food?
That term struck a nerve with Callum, and he grasped the meaning behind the
salty fish in an instant.
