Lena knew about it because one of her girlfriends happened to be close with Megan’s best friend back then. The secret had slipped out during an afternoon tea when that friend accidentally let something slip.
The moment it happened, the friend had begged them not to tell anyone. Otherwise, Megan would cut her off completely.
Megan had always been proud. As the heiress of the Stone family and the woman countless men admired but couldn’t win over, she definitely didn’t want anyone knowing she had confessed her feelings only to be rejected.
Lena wasn’t the gossipy type to begin with, and she had promised Megan’s friend not to breathe a word. So even though she knew, she had never told anyone.
Not even Mia or Charlotte.
Back then, all Lena knew was that Megan had been rejected. What she didn’t know was the reason Sean had turned her down. She had no idea that the person Sean liked was actually her best friend, Charlotte.
Later, when Charlotte and Sean got together, Megan had already been abroad for several years. Lena figured Megan had probably moved on, so there was no reason to bring it up.
Now that Megan was back and openly saying she wanted to pursue Sean, Lena figured that sharing the truth no longer counted as breaking a promise.
So she answered honestly.
“She confessed to him before she left the country, but Sean turned her down.”
Jordan raised an eyebrow. “Seriously? Sean never mentioned that.”
