Chapter 324
There was a meeting this morning.
Thalassa got the conference room all set up ahead of time.
The meeting kicked off right on time at half past ten.
Thalassa was at the door, waiting for the bigwigs to show up for the meeting. They strolled in and took their rightful seats.
But Lysander was nowhere to be seen, so Thalassa just kept hanging around the door.
After a bit, Lysander finally showed up, late as ever. He was moving fast, with David trailing right behind him.
Thalassa could tell from a mile away that Lysander was in a foul mood. He looked really pissed off, like he had a major chip on his shoulder.
As he got closer, the room got colder, and Thalassa could feel her back stiffen and her breath hitch.
She had just witnessed him blow up in his office and kick her out.
Looking at his cold face at that time, Thalassa was so nervous that her heart was practically pounding out of her chest.
As he approached, Thalassa lowered her head and politely welcomed him, “Good morning, sir.” He glanced at her with his intense eyes, and then looked away. The intensity in his eyes still didn’t go away.
He walked past her, leaving a cold breeze in his wake that bit into Thalassa, almost causing her physical pain.
Lysander took the big chair, sinking into the black swivel seat, giving off vibes of cold and pressure.
The staff could all feel the atmosphere around them becoming colder, and everyone was too scared to make a sound.
Thalassa went back to the multimedia computer and started to demonstrate the materials for the meeting.
A few of the top management people gave their two cents.
But Lysander shot them all down, cold as ice, even getting mad at them.
A lot of them got chewed out.
The atmosphere in the room was so tense that it was practically freezing.
Thalassa was walking on eggshells, even trying to breathe quietly.
After the meeting was over, all the top management people practically bolted from the room.
Thalassa had to wait until everyone had left the room before she could clean up and leave.
She was on high alert, watching Lysander like a hawk, afraid he was going to blow up at her if she caused even the slightest of trouble.
She didn’t make any mistakes at that meeting.
Just when she was getting anxious, Lysander stood up, took long strides and left without a backward glance and without saying a word to her.
Watching his tall figure leave the room, Thalassa finally let out a sigh of relief.
The next thing she knew was a face right in front of her, which frightened her a bit. It was actually David.
She put a hand over her heart, explaining her situation, “David, you scared the bejesus out of me, why are you staring at me like that?”
David looked at her curiously and inquired, “Why did you piss off Mr. Sinclair?”
Thalassa pointed to herself as she was baffled, “Me?”
David had a smirk on his face, “Of course you, who else could get Sinclair so fired up?”
Thalassa blinked innocently, “I didn’t do anything to piss him off, all I did was return his car.”
“You returned the car Mr. Sinclair gave you?” David was surprised as he asked her.
Thalassa curiously asked, “Is there a problem with that?”
David’s face was full of disbelief. He nodded and then replied, “I got to hand it to you. It takes guts to return Sinclair’s gift and still stand here as cool as a
cucumber.”
After saying that, David left the room.
Thalassa was totally clueless, not understanding the meaning behind David’s words.
Was it wrong to not accept a gift that was way too expensive?
Finally, it was lunchtime. Thalassa took advantage of the break to hit the closest mall to the Sinclair group.
She planned to buy a suit exactly like Leopold’s coat and give it back to him.
