Chapter 39
Thalassa paused, turning to say, “David, what can I do for you?”
“Could you give the presidents office a quick sweep? And tidy up the water and cups.” David instructed Thalassa, then turned and walked away without engaging in further conversation with Faye
Thalassa snapped back to reality, finding herself staring directly into Faye’s eyes.
Faye was giving her a gloomy look, as if she held some grudge against her
Thalassa blinked innocently, feeling like she hadn’t done anything to upset Faye.
Furthermore, Faye’s attitude towards her child had irked her, though she hadn’t yet had the chance to confront Faye about it.
Why was Faye looking at her like that?
“Faye, I’m off to clean now.” Thalassa said, picking up her broom and making her way to the office.
Seeing Thalassa about to enter Lysander’s office, Faye’s mood began to fluctuate, feeling a strong sense of crisis. Once Thalassa entered, she would be face-to-face with Lysander
Just as Thalassa was about to push the door open, Faye spoke up in time, Thalassa, hold on a second”
“Why?” Thalassa stopped, turning to look at Faye.
With a cold expression, ever a hint of hostility, Faye told her, “Start with the secretaries office instead, Mr. Sinclair doesnt like to be disturbed while working”
“Oh, alright then” Thalassa obediently turned and headed for the secretaries office.
All the top-level cleaning was her responsibility, including the secretaries office.
Faye’s request was within her job description, so Thalassa naturally had no objections.
While Thalassa went to the secretaries’ office. Faye entered Lysanders.
Walking in, she saw Lysander sitting in the president’s chair, engrossed in some papers. His expression was serious.
Behind him was a large, bright floor-to-ceiling window. The weather after the rain was casting a beautiful glow through the window, reflecting on him.
It was as if he was enshrouded in a rainbow of colors.
The sunlight, paired with his black suit, made him look even more divine.
His handsome face seemed as if a deity had descended.
Seeing this, Fayes heart pounded like crazy
She had been secretly in love with Lysander for ten years, always finding ways to stay by his side.
Shed seen him reject countless confessions.
Some of these people had had some form of interaction with him before confessing, whether business or personal.
But after confessing, they were cut off from Lysander’s life, even lasing the chance to do business with him.
So over the years. Faye had carefully hidden her feelings, not daring to tell Lysander or let him know
She was afraid that Lysander would push her away, and then she would lose the chance to see him forever.
At first, she thought that Lysander didn’t have interest in women, until Lysander had her find a woman from Hollowbrook, and bring her to him. Only then did Faye learn that Lysander had slept with this woman, and he was to take responsibility for her.
When Faye heard this, she felt absolute despair, her heart aching.
Lysander wasn’t uninterested in women. It was just that his ideal woman hadn’t appeared yet.
If that ideal woman appeared in Lysander’s life, then her past efforts would all be in vain. Her silent protection by Lysander’s side for ten years would all be for nothing.
Faye couldn’t accept this How could the man she loved for ten years be so easily taken away by a woman who appeared out of nowhere?
She went to Hollowbrook, found out that Lysander and Thalassa had slept in an old house there. The house, ravaged by the rain, was in ruins, even their pig had been crushed to death.
She immediately made a’decision, lying to Lysander that the woman had died in the collapse of the old house.
She hoped to erase Lysander’s longing, to make the woman disappear from his heart forever.
