Chapter 56
With one large hand cradling the back of her head and the other gripping her waist, he prevented her from struggling
His eyes were filled with a blurry glow, and his voice was gravelly as he stared into her bright eyes. “Aren’t you waitressing here to make some dough?”
Thalassa bit her tongue.
She couldn’t refute his words
Wasn’t everyone working to make money?
In the next instant, she froze on the spot, paralyzed with fear.
His hands roamed restlessly over her body.
Thalassa was terrified to the point of her scalp tingling
She bent down, her face turning beet red as she glared at him. “Lysander! You’re trying to hit on me!”
“Isn’t that what you’re into? Playing hard to get? Lysander was out for punishment.
She was always playing the seductress.
Were men really that easy to tempt?
Thalassa was livid. Seizing the moment when his grip weakened, she quickly toppled sideways onto the couch and gave him a swift kick squarely in the nether region.
Lysander let out a muffled grunt of pain as his hands lost their hold. Instinctively, he covered the throbbing area.
Thalassa seized the chance to make a break for it
Watching Thalassa’s retreating figure, Lysander’s eyes turned frosty with anger.
His eyebrows knitted together.
She actually dared to kick him, what a brazen woman!
Thalassa’s heart raced. If it weren’t for her hand clutching her chest, she would have thought her heart was about to pop out
She headed to the reception, found the manager, and told him she wanted to quit
The manager asked curiously. “You just started and already sold a bottle of wine, earning a thousand in commission. If you hold on for a few more hours. and sell another bottle, you’ll make two thousand, that’s a month’s salary at your office job. With such good efficiency, why quit?”
Thalassa’s face turned crimson, and she stammered, “I was mistaken for a certain type of woman by a customer”
Seeing her flushed face, the manager caught on: You’re quite the looker, have you ever thought of switching careers? You might earn even more.”
“No, manager. Waitressing is my bottom line, and I can’t go any lower Please settle my bill and I need to leave before the customer returns, or I can’t explain. Thalassa immediately refused.
No matter how tough or difficult, she wouldn’t stoop so low.
She would never compromise her principles for money or anything else.
No matter how tough, she would earn her money through her own hard work and brains, never selling herself out. Nor would she take money she shouldn’t
“Alright then, if you ever want to come back, give me a call.” The manager agreed, settling her bill and letting her go.
Everyone had their own aspirations; he can’t force her to do something she didn’t want to.
Besides, it’s better if she didn’t do such things
Thalassa collected her earnings and hastily left Sapphire Skyline
She had encountered Lysander twice in her two shifts here and been hit on by him twice!
She was so scared that her heart was about to give out.
Back in the private room, Lysander took a while to recover from the pain in his nether region.
That woman was ruthless!
If he ever ran into her again, he wouldn’t let her off so easily.
