Chapter 126
When Evelyn laid her eyes on the tall, lean, and handsome man, she was blown away. He was wearing a handcrafted black suit and was on his way out. Just the sight of his back left her stunned. Her eyes widened, and her mind went blank.
It wasn’t until Lysander exited the door that she realized, this man was the CEO of the Sinclair Group.
Evelyn had met Lysander once before in Hollowbrook. She initially thought he was Isabella’s boyfriend, but then Thalassa told her that he was actually the CEO of the Sinclair Group.
Just last night, he drove Thalassa home
Evelyn excitedly turned to the receptionist and said, “I came to see him, can you give him a call for me?”
The receptionist looked at her and said, “That’s our boss Lysander. I don’t have his personal number, just his secretary’s.”
They thought, was this woman alright? Thalassa was just a janitor in their company. How could their boss Lysander possibly be her boyfriend?
This must have been the rumor from before, causing her to mistakenly think that Lysander was Thalassa’s boyfriend.
David had already clarified internally that it was a total fabrication made up by Jole, and it wasn’t true at all. There was absolutely no relationship between Lysander and Thalassa.
Hearing the receptionist’s explanation, Evelyn was a little anxious, so she turned and chased after him. When she ran out the door, Lysander was already in his car She ran over anxiously but the car was already moving.
Evelyn was about to return to the company, to tell the receptionist that she would come back later, hoping she could inform Lysander. Just then, she saw Thalassa rushing out.
“Mom, why are you here?” Thalassa walked up to Evelyn, holding her arm, asking somewhat puzzled.
The receptionist had called her, saying a person named Evelyn was looking for her, so she rushed down immediately.
‘I came to ask if Lysander is your boyfriend, Evelyn said straight to the point.
Thalassa was startled, and looking around, all the Sinclair Group employees were getting ready for lunch.
She said to Evelyn in a low voice, “Didn’t I already tell you, he isn’t! You can’t just ask who Lysander’s girlfriend is. He’s the CEO of the Sinclair Group. How could he possibly be my boyfriend.”
After the rumor scandal last time, she became the target of criticism in the company. Everyone thought she was shamelessly throwing herself at Lysander, and spreading rumors that Lysander was into her. She was looked down upon, isolated, and ridiculed. The scandal had just settled down. She didn’t want to be the laughingstock again.
Thalassa pulled Evelyn aside, but Evelyn shook off her hand and said loudly, “If he’s not your boyfriend, why are you so nervous? Thalassa, you must be hiding something from me! If Lysander isn’t your boyfriend, why would he drive you home late at night…”
Before Evelyn could finish, Thalassa quickly covered her mouth. Passersby were casting strange glances. Thalassa smiled at them, indicating that everything was fine and they were just joking
When the passersby moved on, Thalassa finally let go of Evelyn’s mouth.
She said anxiously and helplessly, “Mom, go home now. I’ll explain everything when I get off work. Now I need to go for lunch. I still have to work in the afternoon.”
“You must promise to give me a detailed explanation,” Evelyn agreed.
She couldn’t understand why a janitor would work until late at night and have Mr. Sinclair personally drive her home! This didn’t add up.
Thalassa nodded, indicating that she would explain everything after she got home. She didn’t want her family to worry, so she hid the fact that the police detained her last night. It seemed she couldn’t hide it anymore. Otherwise, considering her mom’s suspicious nature, she would come to the Sinclair Group to find Mr. Sinclair again.
If Evelyn really found Lysander and asked him in person if he was Thalassa’s boyfriend, Lysander would definitely be extremely embarrassed, and he would find it utterly tedious and strange.
