Chapter 294
Thalassa was slightly puzzled by his response, but she just looked at him, blinked a couple of times, and didn’t press on.
After their meal, Lysander took her away in his car.

With Lysander in the driver’s seat and Thalassa in the back, watching the road move further behind them, she was clueless about where he was taking her.
And she didn’t dare to ask.
After all, nowhere could be more perilous than Lysander’s house.
Soon, the car pulled up in front of a mall. After Lysander got out, Thalassa followed suit.
He came over and took her hand.
His hand was rough and warm, and when he held her hand, Thalassa felt a jolt of electricity. She couldn’t help but feel a tingling sensation.
Instinctively, she wanted to pull away, but her logic prevailed.
She didn’t show any signs of discomfort.
Lysander, holding her hand, walked into a café.
A waiter came over immediately and greeted them politely, “Welcome.”
Lysander led Thalassa to a window seat and handed her the menu, saying, “You choose.”
Thalassa laughed awkwardly. She thought he would take her to work with him, but instead, he had brought her to a café.
Like last time, Thalassa ordered the same two cups of coffee.
While waiting for the coffee, Thalassa couldn’t help but ask, “Mr. Sinclair.”
As soon as the words left her mouth, she saw Lysander’s face darken, so she quickly corrected herself, “Lysander, aren’t we working today?”
As his personal secretary, working overtime on weekends, accompanying Lysander to the business district, and keeping track of potential development sites were all part of her job.
Moreover, the position of secretary was designed to help the CEO work more efficiently.
Wasn’t Lysander bringing her to the mall to find business opportunities?
If that was the case, she wished Lysander would tell her so she could note down potential sites instead of being kept in the dark and end up doing nothing.
“Do you also work while dating?” Lysander retorted.
His gaze was intense, full of deep affection.
It made Thalassa’s heart flutter.
She was even more surprised, ‘dating’?
Were they ‘dating’ now?
She had considered many reasons why Lysander wouldn’t let her go, but this was not one of them.
For a moment, Thalassa felt mixed emotions.
They were treating this as a date, as if they were a typical couple, like two people in love.
At this point, Thalassa didn’t know how to deal with him.
When she felt at a loss, the waiter brought over their coffee.
She quickly picked up her cup and started drinking, trying to hide her embarrassment.
Lysander also picked up his coffee cup, took a sip, and asked in his deep voice, “Think about it, what do you want to do for the next step of our date?” The next step?
Was she getting a lesson in dating?
Thalassa almost choked on her coffee. She quickly swallowed the coffee in her mouth and said in a fluster, “Okay, let me think about it.”
Looking up at her, Lysander noticed her rosy cheeks, as if she was feeling shy.
