Chapter 101
Thalassa stopped in her tracks, but didn’t turn around.
“What are you doing in the boss’s office?” Faye interrogated.
“I’ve got stuff to discuss with Mr. Sinclair. Since he’s not in, I’ll come back to him later,” Thalassa retorted, ready to bolt out of there.
Faye’s words rooted her in place again, “You’re just a cleaner! You really think you’re worth Mr. Sinclair’s time? Thalassa, I’ve never seen a shameless woman like you, trying to seduce Mr. Sinclair’
Thalassa paused, turning to face Faye head-on, stating her case, “I’m here to see the CCTV footage of your confession to Mr. Sinclair. I want to prove I didn’t overhear your conversation and I’m not the one spreading rumors. Faye, you know the saying. The reason you criticize others is a reflection of yourself.”
Faye instantly realized Thalassa was throwing her own words back at her, about being shameless.
Faye’s fists clenched in anger, but she kept her cool, scoffing. “The office door was open. Perhaps you were eavesdropping?”
Thalassa’s eyes widened in astonishment.
Oh my god!
How could Faye accuse her like that?
“Once Mr. Sinclair comes back and checks the CCTV, everything will be clear.”
“Mr. Sinclair is a busy man, he won’t waste time on this. Give up on that idea. Thalassa, if I were you, I’d admit to spreading the rumors and apologize to Mr. Sinclair. Maybe he’ll forgive you for owning up to your mistake, Faye suggested with a sneer, before leaving the office.
“I didn’t do it and I won’t admit to it! I’ll find evidence to clear my name,” Thalassa said, watching Faye’s retreating figure.
Thalassa felt wronged and furious.
Her phone rang as she left the office. It was her friend Hertha.
She picked up, “Hertha, I’m so bummed.”
She was really troubled.
“What’s up? What’s got our sunny and positive Thalassa so down? Spill the beans,” Hertha’s cheery voice came from the other end.
Thalassa told her about the false accusation and how Faye said Lysander wouldn’t let her see the CCTV footage.
She felt stifled and needed to vent to Hertha.

“Mom, don’t be sad. You still have us,” came the gentle, sweet voices of her kids over the phone. Their words warmed Thalassa’s heart and soothed her anxiety.
Thalassa was taken aback, “Dorian, why are you with Hertha?”
“Thalassa, I’m off today. I stopped by to see the kids, Hertha explained.
“Okay, Thalassa responded, ‘I feel a lot better after talking with you. I’ve got to get back to work now. Bye.”
After venting to Hertha and hearing her kids’ encouragement, Thalassa felt reinvigorated.
Soon, she had finished her cleaning duties on the top floor.
She was about to take the elevator down after cleaning her map in the restroom when she saw a figure disappearing into the stairwell.
This person seemed very mysterious.
Driven by curiosity, Thalassa decided to follow.
